Heartwarming peaceful protests

It's so encouraging to see peaceful young students peacefully engaged at peaceful protests. It's just so peaceful. Look at all the free speech steel barriers and free speech plywood and free speech broken glass. Why would anyone want mean nasty police to intervene? These protests are a model for all human interaction. People should be beating each other with sticks everywhere, for the sake of peace. That's Our Democracy in action! https://abc7.com/clashes-break-out-at-ucla-amid-dueling-demonstrations-between-pro-palestinian-and-pro-israeli-protesters/14749246/

“The clashes took place just outside a tent encampment, where pro-Palestinian protesters erected barricades and plywood for protection - and counter-protesters tried to pull them down.” Read the actual news before verbal diarrhea.

Yes you are correct. The protesters were completely peaceful. Anyone suggesting otherwise is obviously lying. It's peace everywhere. Forcefully taking possession of public property and preventing ingress is a peaceful activity. Everyone agrees, except fascists and white supremacists.

I don’t fully agree with the way protests are being conducted or it’s utility but at least I am not spreading misinformation about them. It seems like your issue is more about what they are protesting about and hiding behind stupid sarcasm to spread misinformation.

If I'm some counter protestors who are determined to shut them down, I can imagine doing something like this could be effective. (1) Infiltrate the camps. (2) Distribute Hamas flags instead of Palestine. (3) Media will get the shocking pictures, shifting public sentiment. (4) After a while, start sharing malakoff🍸 recipe in their telegram groups. (5) A matter of time before university admin buildings start catching🔥 (6) National guard intervenes, ending the siege (Thought exercise only based on observation of the two group's characteristic)

Wait, are you suggesting that some of the peaceful protesters were not actually peaceful? That seems very unfair. Are you a white supremacist?

Like coming in and shouting anti-semitic slogans while being wrapped in blue/white flag and getting everyone else arrested? People like OP will believe what they want to believe even if it is on video

They WERE peaceful before the Pro-Israel terrorists attacked the encampments with fireworks, pepper spray, and assaulting students with whatever blunt objects they could get their hands on. This was an organized attack.

Google MiamiBlue OP May 1

The protests are still peaceful right now. It's all just free speech and flowers and rainbows and peaceful assembly. If you disagree, you must be a Trump supporter who hates Our Democracy.

I don't understand. Are you saying that some of the peaceful protesters are not actually peaceful?

Those thugs weren't protesters, idiot. We're all sorry you can't read.

When similar things happen in India world news headlines come with "A Top Liberal University Is Under Attack in India" "India: Police Fail to Protect Students" I wonder if we will get similar headlines again.

Religion of peace...

Plaid dFdh61 May 1

It WAS peaceful, but they were violently attacked by pro-Israel masked terrorists. It is the opposing side responsible for the violence. Get informed before talking.

Muslims are welcome to all go back to whatever shit country they came from and build their Kalifat there.

Google Fickona May 1

People are unable to inform themselves in a balanced way about politics. Google, Meta etc are to blame by only caring about profits rather than sharing information / knowledge. This is a symptom and a warning. Things will get worse. There are only extremes now thanks to personalization and clickbait news.

Haha. Look at your own comments and the irony here. 😂

Google Fickona May 1

I'm pretty liberal except when it comes to Muslims. I don't think I fit the typical mainstream Ideologies.

Google MiamiBlue OP May 1

Why would anyone refer to peaceful protesters as "thugs"? Have you been listening to too much Fox News? Everyone can see that the protests are peaceful.

Intel fatheroall May 1

How many ppl have these protestors killed? More than Tesla? 🤣🤷‍♀️
