  1. That was the Summer of the CHOP in Seattle, right? Of the antifa riots right? Yeah it was great fun watching the country immolate. We should all do it again. Were the charges dropped because they were weak, or because the Travis County DA is a Cunt? If only there were a trail of past actions with which to discern. Define that, specifically, as it pertains to these events. Because based on what I've seen, it seems hyperbolic.
  2. I'm sure that's what they thought at Columbia. It was very clearly stated what was intended, to "occupy the lawn", to "cancel classes", and to establish "THE POPULAR UNIVERSITY FOR GAZA". Doesn't sound lawless or threatening at all. It's not like there wasn't already a playbook or anything.
  3. Just harmless fellow citizens enjoying the sights I see. Just bad luck that as a numerical minority, they were a majority of the arrested. Were they wearing "I'm not a student" vests, making it easier to pick them out, or were they the ones most confrontational begging for arrest? Such a conundrum.
  4. Sure buddy. "assaulting". And yes, when the same umbrella organization's called for "occupations" that resulted in lawless and threatening tent cities at other Universities, yes it was justified. Why do you think the majority of the arrested were outside agitators? Why were they there?
  5. Correct. There's a reason that it didn't, why do you think that was?
  6. They took them at their word, and because of their previous actions at Columbia, USC, etc. Here is the instagram post announcing the "occupation": "Reclaim our space" "Class is canceled" "Occupy the lawn" "In the footsteps of our comrades at Columbia SJP, Rutgers-New Brunswick, Yale, and countless others across the nation, we will be establishing THE POPULAR UNIVERSITY FOR GAZA and demanding our administration divest from death." Watching what the "solidarity committees" did at Columbia and Yale, perhaps it was prudent to take them at their word. The fact that 26 of the arrestees weren't student, and were outside agitators, should be a clue.
  7. Assuming the "occupations" were wholly organic, and that the Texas one would actually be in good faith and peaceful, is naive. Now that it's been cleared out once, I think we'll hopefully see any subsequent gatherings to be less rowdy and confrontationally framed.
  8. Looks like they weren't going to allow an "occupation" like what's happening at Columbia, USC, Stanford, etc; and as was promised by the "UT Palestine solidarity committee": https://thetexan.news/texas-local-news/ut-austin-palestine-solidarity-committee-plans-student-walk-out-occupation-of-campus/article_9b7c33b0-0257-11ef-9fcd-7724fc01bfbb.html All things considered, I think it went well, with no injuries, deaths, or horrible videos for folks to fixate on. There was no occupation, and subsequent tent city full of agitators and professional protesters threatening students and disrupting school, and the protesters got to be arrested/herded/chastised by "fascists", thereby stoking their ego, burnishing their brand, and establishing their cred. Win:Win This is an interesting article dealing with the predicament Universities find themselves in: https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2024/04/campus-left-university-columbia-1968/678176/
  9. You're making my point for me. You are a horrible poster who doesn't add to the discussion, post any news, or bring up any good points. You are a troll who is only good at thread-shitting. You, and your ilk, are ruining this thread. Fuck off back to the CR.
  10. This thread turned to shit weeks ago when multiple turds when floated out of the CR and started shitting in this thread. If they want to suck terrorist dick and complain about the Gaza war, they should do so back in the CR, or start another thread. Instead they cry about "bOoTliCKers" and "FaSciStS" and further shit in this thread.
  11. Good Lord you're a beating. This thread has worsened since the CR squeezed you out.
  12. That the immigration should happen. It would be a mistake to import those folks. A big one.
  13. My understanding is that Sark made the call. It was an obvious mistake.
  14. You answered your own question. Every single ally and trade partner in the eastern hemisphere relies on oil from the ME. The international oil market, including oil prices in NA, relies on ME oil for price stability. Populist isolationism is not a realistic choice.
