Do I understand correctly that 1. No violence has been committed by protesters at Columbia 2. No actionable incitement to violence has been uttered at Columbia 3. No armed protesters have shown up at Columbia 4. Senators are calling for the National Guard to step in amid "concerns for safety"?
Also the NYPD - well-known for their support of peaceful protests, generally - basically described the protests as "kinda chill."
I guess some people were yelling outside the gates. Sounds like a job for one cop with a radio, but I suppose we could deploy tanks instead.
Yes. The students groups aren't perfect victims per se but not of anything they did matched anything like THAT besides what they've already disallowed. Therefore it doesn't matter.
yes, concerns of safety for the american-israeli genocide of palestine
There is never anything as violent or unsafe as the imaginings of a right wing dipshit about what MIGHT happen. FEELING unsafe is way more important than the reality that you are actually pretty safe.
I emphatically, categorically, do not think that the National Guard should be brought in. Full stop. But I believe there's been a little bit of violence. That one woman was stabbed in the eye by a flagpole. Some pushing and shoving — stuff like that. I don't have a sense if that was students.
Sorry, just t be sure...Do you mean District of Columbia or Colombia Republic?
Yes, it's a clear case to be alarmed. You keeo calm only when a fascist mob with bear sprays and pipe bombs attacksthe Capitol or when some psycho is shooting kids in a school or during other normal events of this sort. A peaceful protest is the real danger. Remember what it did in India.
