Mass media talks about it in the more dire terms. Campuses are rocked by protests. Tensions rise. Etc, etc. While reality is peaceful most places. The students are pro-alive (as in not killing vs pro-life==anti-choice). But holy shit, if you are far-removed from it you get a different version.

Freedom of speech and assembly, including the right to peaceful protest, are a cornerstone of American democracy.
However, that doesn't mean there are no consequences...
-
Yeah getting beat up and arrested by the police is totally what people mean when they say there are consequences for your free speech. /s

I've got a question. During Vietnam they knew that they had to move along on a protest March. Now, it seems everything has an occupy theme. Don't get me wrong, there were times when students would occupy administration buildings during Vietnam, but that wasn't common. So, are these folks going to march? Or, are they just going to sit and order pizza?

Having government goons attack and arrest you is not one of the allowed consequences under the constitution for peaceably exercising your rights.
-
Those goons are called police. If you are gathered somewhere you're not supposed to be, the consequence is that the police remove you

Tensions rise as police riots set to happen on college campuses due to peaceful sit-ins that would otherwise be over in a week or two when summer break starts.
Really need to get those last real world police beatings in before the semester is over :(
