Correct. The bloodthirsty baby-killers did it multiple times during the Kavanaugh & Gorsuch confirmation hearings.

I think protesting is stupid but it shouldn't be cracked down on unless they're interfering with another's property/person, etc.
They can say what they want. But if they are not students or employees, they should have to do it from the streets off of the school property. Then of course, they need permits from the city to gather in large numbers.

Also completely irrelevant is the reasoning for allowing the Kavanaugh protesters in during an official proceeding but not the election certification protesters.

Show me who said that was proper and legal ITT, please.

Absolutely.

Didn't your parents teach you the "if your friends jumped off a bridge, would you too?" life lesson?

There's some false equivalency going on here. Many of these protests have either become violent or have sought to intimidate Jewish students. Protests centering on law, policy, or ideas are one thing. Targeting people for their immutable characteristics is quite another.

You limpwrists will twist everything Trump says so you can bitch about it, just like the democrats. Your motivation is completely transparent. You're not clever, and no one is fooled by your emotional ramblings. At least you get upvotes from your brothers in TDS. Whatever gets you by, I suppose.

Protest should be allowed to continue in designated areas, if they are peaceful and no other students are stopped from attending classes by intimidation

Are people being targeted because they are Jewish or because they are supporters of israel?

This is a tangent, but I’ve always wondered how people in the United States are somehow known to be jewish when it comes to things like this. Very very very few wear traditional or orthodox attire.

ETA: downvoters, can you visually identify Jews?

Ben Haas was such a loser of the highest order regardless of his point. Not that it excuses anything, just something I noted at the time.

These Palestine protests are facing similar sensationalism, with dishonest "antisemitic" memes thrown in for good measure.
Maybe.

I just don't give a shite about Palestine or Israel. . .so I have tuned it all out.

Seems like Hitler vs Stalin. . .with the left telling us Stalin is good, and the right are split between them.

I do not think they're being targeted for being Jewish and are being targeted for their political beliefs, specifically supporting Israel

Sorry, this should not be illegal if it's just words. People can't be protected from hearing disagreeable, and even outright horrible, things simply because of their race, ethnicity, sex, religion, whatever. I don't care who it is directed towards. It should not be illegal or a reason to shut down a protest that is otherwise non-criminal.

I don't either because they're both bad quite often and this will never end.

"Paid agitators" is an irrelevant NPC talking point that is not applicable to this discussion.


It's extremely relevant if the goal is to align public perception with reality.

If the truth is these things are contrived by people who hate America, the chore of stopping them becomes simple, especially on a campus to which they were not invited and in effect trespassed through manipulation. They are essentially squatters, which I know many of you love, but they aren't protestors.
