It is certainly a sign of moral and cognitive backwardness in this nation that to speak out against the systematic murder of civilian noncombatants is to be called pro-hamas.
To protest the killing of over 13,000 innocent children is to be reviled, called a criminal, and to risk arrest.
It is also backwards that the conservative, who always seems to be on the lookout for government tyrrany, should call for the arrest of those who speak out against their own government supplying bombs that are to be dropped on innocent children.

Just like Hamas you think taking people hostage is ok and taking over buildings?
Did you even read the article that explains why the police were involved?
No I think taking over others people's land and buildings is wrong. Damaging or destroying other people's buildings and keeping people captive, denying them food and medical care is wrong.
Protestors against the expansion of the Vietnam war into Cambodia were called "communists" "bums" and "disloyal to the United States". Some were killed by national guardsmen, firing into the crowd of American citizens.
Protestors against the South Africa apartied system were called "communists" "terrorists" and "thugs". Nelson Mandela remained on US terror watch lists until 2008.
I reject and condemn the human rights violations of the Viet Nam war, I reject and condemn the South African Apartied system and I reject and condemn the deliberate killing of unarmed civilian noncombatants of any nation.
You are supporting litteal crimes. They took over the building (crime), held hostage (crime), destroyed portions of the building (crime), and refused to leave (crime).
I mam not sure why Democrats support terrorist actions and pretend it's protesting. You have the right to protest peacefully, but this wasn't peaceful and took the right of others away.
And once again when conservatives are confronted with speech they disagree with the response is to demand their arrest.
Almost like they don't actually value free speech as much as they value controlling their political opponents: those demanding the emancipation of an imprisoned population being starved to death.
It's a big reason Trump became popular with them: he promised to lock up his political opponent.
Just more fascist trash from people who don't care to understand the world as it is, so they soak up right-wing propaganda telling them the scary leftists are out ruin "their" country.
Reactionaries want to take away your freedom to stand up to political violence and collective punishment; gee, I wonder why?
Those are questions for you to answer. This community's conservatives pay lip service to free speech in the absolute sense but abandon it when you disagree.
If you could be honest, where do you draw the line for the expression of free speech?
That is why I didn't post anything until they grossly violated the law. I support even stupid protests, but once they turn lawless, it's time to shut them down.
We all know that you value conformity over collective action like every counterrevolutionary in history.
It's the whole reason you post sources conflating people protesting the university's material support of genocide with terrorists.
You are not making any kind of point about political freedom, or protest, or values. Here's a hint: the students were planning on getting arrested. That's how civil disobedience works: by making the people who hold power overreact to the collective action, thereby swaying public opinion.
This is a clear win for the protesters, because reactionaries simply cannot help showing their asses, and they must stand against emancipations or their backwards ideology will have to shift further to accommodate the revolutionary ideas that they're constantly opposing.
It's so telling that conservatives care more about "property damage" than genocide.
How is this not government tyranny? How is this not a violation of freedom of speech and right to assembly? What happened to "I might not agree with what you're saying but I'll defend your right to say it"?
Did they “break in” to a building or did they simply enter against the campus’ wishes and removed with force?
Cause one is breaking in and one is being trespassed. You can be trespassed peacefully. The fact the cops showed up in full regalia means they were expecting a brawl, but none happened because this was a peaceful protest.
But I don’t expect you to believe that since conservative media won’t tell it to you.
