Still not an insurrection.
Indeed, but you'd be hard-pressed to define a protest that ended when everyone left after a few hours and no one was arrested an "insurrection". The desire of the common leftist to equate Jan 6 to Bastille Day is laughable.
The OP is not the only one drawing this comparison, and AP News is not having it!!!

Trump’s comparison of student protests to Jan. 6 is part of effort to downplay Capitol attack
quote:
NEW YORK (AP) — Donald Trump on Tuesday lamented the possibility that Columbia University’s pro-Palestinian protesters could be treated more leniently than the rioters who stormed the U.S. Capitol in January 2021, marking the second time in a week the former president has invoked the ongoing campus protests to downplay past examples of right-wing violence.
Speaking in the hallway outside a Manhattan courtroom where his criminal hush money trial is taking place, Trump questioned whether student demonstrators who seized and barricaded a campus building early Tuesday, some of them vandalizing it in the process, would be treated the same way as his supporters who attacked the Capitol on Jan. 6 to stop certification of the presidential results.
“I think I can give you the answer right now,” he said. “And that’s why people have lost faith in our court system.”
As noted earlier in the thread, what has transpired over the last week at Columbia and other institutions has been more destructive, violent and protracted than what happened on Jan 6. These students will face no legal action beyond disorderly conduct, destruction of property, and perhaps a few other misdemeanor charges. Those arrested this morning at Columbia will sleep in their beds tonight after Mom and Dad post bail.
