Because there’s less of them. Yesterday, a university President acted quickly to lockdown a lobby on campus property where only 6 tents x 12 students were set up. No one in, no one out. The outside agitators were outside the college perimeter. Open campuses like Colombia is where many students exposed non student agitators to police. |
+1 Too bad that campus (GW?) doesn’t have anyone courageous around, like UNC’s frat boys. |
They weren't arrested for merely holding a banner. They were arrested because authorities had told the protesters to leave the premises..... the encampment was illegal. They did not comply. |
![]() Matt Barreto, a professor of Chicano studies and political science, stood under a blue-and-gold banner that read "UCLA Faculty and Staff, We Stand with Our Students." Barreto said he was one of about 30 faculty and staff members who were in the encampment and willing to be arrested alongside students. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/more-than-130-arrested-amid-massive-police-force-to-dismantle-ucla-pro-palestinian-camp/ar-AA1o0rdw#:~:text=Matt%20Barreto%2C%20a%20professor%20of%20Chicano%20studies%20and,encampment%20and%20willing%20to%20be%20arrested%20alongside%20students. |
UCLA is a public university. The faculty’s right to hold a banner in protest is not only righteous, it’s protected by law. |
+1 Amazing that a UChicago professor is spewing lies. |
Once again: they weren't arrested for holding a banner. They were arrested along with all the other protesters for REFUSING TO LEAVE. Please get your facts straight. |
Sure it is. But, being present on the grounds where the administration had ordered vacated is NOT protected by law. That is why they were arrested. Why can't you understand this? |
Once again for fascists like you: they have the constitutional right to protest and peacefully assemble on the grounds of a public university. Go get AIPAC to void the constitution. |
