Merged Protests disrupt college campuses / Campus Protests

"You shouldn't care about people who aren't you" is quite the mantra

it was NOT a protest, it was an attempt to stop, by force, a necessary step in the lawful transfer of power. It was a direct attack on US democracy itself.

If we're going to attribute the motivations of the worst bad actors to the entire 1/6 crowd (including those who stayed outside, held up placards, and obeyed the law) then we're going to have to conclude some pretty horrific things about the campus protestors as well. Sauce for the goose, etc.

You're free to engage in all the violence, destruction, property damage, vandalism you want. Just be prepared to go to prison and get kicked out of college without completing your degree. Oh and you'll still have to pay back your student loans.

Its a free country.

It sure is. Because folks took up the cause of others not themselves

Something tells me a lot of these kids think there should be no consequences for their illegal acts. And they are certainly not prepared to make any big personal sacrifices, all in the name of Gaza.
 
If people only got involved with things they understood, there would be no conservatism in the US.
 
Would I give up my college education and my freedom, in order to try to convince my college to ban Jewish groups from the school and divest from Israeli investments? No. Why should I throw my life away for an issue that may be resolved in a couple months. Or a few years.

Oh, well, something is a reliable source worthy of consideration

Cosplaying is fun, no doubt. And every four years or so a new batch of young people get to change the world. (As Oscar Wilde observed, the young know everything.) It's a rite of passage, it seems. Just don't break stuff.

The people who stayed outside, held up placards and obeyed the law are not the problem and therefore they are not being prosecuted. The people who are being prosecuted are either being prosecuted for trespassing, at the low end, or for sedition at the high end. This is the false equivalence you are making by seeing no distinction between peaceful protest and sedition.

Protester at Columbia was demanding that the school still provide regular meals to the Invaders who occupied Hamilton Hall.

Cake & eat it too, huh?

It's always the pampered and privileged who engaged in these shenanigans. You don't see the maintence crew out there protesting and wrecking.
