    Man, I just don’t believe these protests would be where they are right now without the cops escalating it.

    Really?  Have you not seen how things have gone in NYC and on the West Coast without police or administration escalating?  Give them an inch they will take a yard.  Some of you need to open your eyes and realize these aren't a bunch of hippies smoking pot and singing Give Peace a Chance like in your good old days.     I feel like plenty on this board are letting their hate for Trump/Abbot/MAGA cloud their judgment.  Listen to some of the jewish students speak (including those on UT campus) about the rhetoric they are hearing walking around campus.  How about protestors at UCLA not letting Jews on campus.   The national news was disgusting this morning.  Not fox news or newsmax, fucking mainstream national news.  80% of this country is disgusted at what is taking place.  But sure - Hartzell is the problem.

    sheesh our stickhandling leaves a lot to be desired.  passing and just general puck control.

    It's kind of night and day from last game where every pass found our stick and they couldn't get it into our zone.  That's the way hockey go?

    Regardless of whether you support the students or the administration, I’m just glad to see students care about something/anything. Maybe in the future they will turn their attention to a corrupt Supreme Court justice who takes bribes and a presidential candidate who is charged with too many felonies to count. 

    I dunno - sounds kind of mainstream and harder to coordinate outfits for.  And "From the River to the Sea Donald Trump shall not go free" probably isn't edgy enough.

    There has been a lot on the news about Ivy League schools. You should check the Wi-Fi under your rock. Only kidding. 
     

    came here to post this. Neutrally. 
     

    not sure what is planned for tomorrow. But I don’t see the Tyrant letting these kids run his goon squads off again. 
     

    actually concerning for tomorrow. 
     

     

    Just a bunch of good kids peacefully protesting.

    Regarding the tents:  I've reviewed all the footage I can on KXAN and I see one tent.  I see a shit-ton of umbrellas, which I think we can all agree is not a tent.

    So, wtf?

    Go to post 1042.   More than 1 tent although still incredibly lame.  My favorite is what looks like a couch cushion to reinforce their barrier protecting said tents.

    You’re making a very good argument for just ignoring them.

    If I were personally in charge, I probably would have done what Brisket suggested which is let them fucking cook in the sun all day in their masks then clear them out after sundown.

     More to the point, I've seen a photo of maybe 1 tent from last week. Enforcing the rule is removing the tent and maybe the person who put it up. Not kicking out everyone. I get that you don't like their speech. I get that you don't like these students. I don't get how you don't give a fuck about a pretty blatant and violent violation of civil rights. 

    Look at the picture from today dude.  They made a lame little tent city and encircled it locking arms.   They could have easily protested within the stated parameters and chose not to.  It was a fucking strategy.  At least see it for what it is.

    And the point has been that you can't arrest someone for a violation that hasn't actually occurred yet. Destroying a protest on the grounds that someone might violate a rule is fundamentally immoral and unconstitutional. 

    Well that wasn't actually the rule.  That was Brisket's interpretation of what a reasonable rule would be.  The actual rule (dating back to at least 2012 apparently) is no tents.  So the rule WAS violated.  Intentionally of course.  So they could escalate this shit for media attention.
