Not everyone sees the world through abortion-colored glasses like you.

That’s why.

Snipers were on buildings at Ohio State and Indiana University last night.

Debunked. But you posted that fake post and you were told it was fake already.

Ohio State has been debunked per Snopes but Indiana has not. Unclear what was on the roof at Indiana. Ohio State were scopes for long range surveillance.

I watched the whole video of Emory prof & she was asking what police were doing to a student she believed was being mistreated. She did not touch the police officers. They threw her to the ground in response to her question.

I suggest you rewatch some of the video of the Charlottesville neo-Nazi protests to see how police can handle free speech activity that is odious without resorting to mass arrests and violence/intimidation.

College/university admins should be ashamed for calling in police & provoking a modern Kent State.

I hope these college protests continue nonstop.

My parents protested in college at the time of Kent State. This is not that. Neither the students, nor the cause, nor the response.

They won't. It's almost May, the school year is almost over. These dumb protests are almost over.

The longer they go, the better for conservatives.

I don’t think this is the last of the protests

Democrat National Convention is going to be the peak.

Many people will go their whole lives without being affected by abortion. It's important, but it's abstract for a lot of people, and more philosophical.

What's happening in Gaza — what we've all seen with our eyes — is far from abstract. Anyone with a pulse can see that it is wrong. And if our government and those in power can justify this, and send billions of our money to fund it, while the people are screaming that they don't want it, there's a big problem.

Really think about that. Our government, full of politicians sucking at the teat of AIPAC, is sending insane amounts of tax payer money, against the will of the majority of those tax payers, to fund a genocide, so some wealthy white colonial settlers can have more beach front property and a new canal.

So we've learned that our government is fully willing to sell out it's own citizens for foreign money, fully willing to support genocide when it makes fiscal and political sense, AND it's willing to jail, threaten, and likely kill dissenters.

Personally, if you're not protesting, I'm not sure what *would* be enough to motivate you to action.

DC police doesn't do anything about real criminals but they'll have all the resources to criminalize bunch of young do gooders.

No this is serious, young people are questioning why our tax money is funding a genocidal government?

Not protesting next to anti-semites like you. In fact, sending more money to groups who help hostages' families. Thanks for the reminder!
