You should wait for more details to come out before tossing these statements around.
Does anyone think these protestors were sitting in a peaceful circle singing kumbayah on the lawn?
The previous arrests and visa cancellations / deportation were for blocking student faculty / access to their classes / offices. The deportee was a foreign national with a previous political position with ties to hamas (an internationally recognized terrorist group).
If the left / democrats can jail Christians for depriving / restricting access to abortion clinics, the right can arrest / jail / deport the Columbia protestors for blocking / restricting access to education facilities).

When the "other side" is trying to bury you in a grave, you have to respond appropriately or they will continue.
They must suffer the same fate as they tried to mete out, or they will not relent.
They will continue to strike your other cheek until they lose their 1st eye.

Only on January 6 can they do this. OR, these student are just taking a walk in the library. Which narrative is it today? Nvm. That was diffe(R)ent.
Sorry are you saying this is indeed different? Or that Jan 6 protestors were treated unfairly?
My opinion is that this is quite different, primarily because these people are being arrested from the space they are occupying, not after the fact. Being arrested for not leaving a certain place is not the same as getting arrested for the opinions you hold.
Presumably, this is a privately owned building owned by the University which has absolutely nothing to do with subject of the protest. They have also been at it for quite some time and it seems the University thinks they are a disruption.
From Reuters:
quote:
Columbia University said late on Wednesday that it had requested NYPD assistance "in securing the building," and that two of its public safety officials were hurt in the standoff.
On the other hand, US Congress leaders refused to have extra security at the protest.
So again, what the hell is your point?

here's the thing loretta 70% of american's supported the national guards actions regarding kent state.
people had a belly full of the campus riots and were glad the national guard did what needed to be done.

I do believe at some point the protestors will be armed.

Oh noz. They took over the library. You guys sound like every loser who complained J6ers took over the Capitol.
The school asked for security, they called the police to secure the building. The demonstrators have been arrested because they wouldn’t leave.
I think it is a fair expectation that you get arrested and removed from private property at the property owner’s request.
That’s not what happened on Jan 6.

J6 should have been a teaching point for this board, but it appears the only lesson learned was “bury the other side when we have the power.”
More nonsense. The “other side” of Jan 6 is not idiots at a private university that have been protesting for years now. You may be referring the subset of that group that are foreigners facing deportation as “the other side”, which is of course not a very strong stance.
That is, Jan 6 protesters could not have been a more politically identifiable group- they were Americans that vote a certain way that were protesting the vote, arrested in the years to come. This group is protesting a foreign conflict at a private university, arrested for not leaving.
It’s interesting that you are trying to shut down this conversation by lumping two unrelated things together, while also accusing “the right” of trying to shut down free speech.

In your opinion, is protesting the actions of the Israeli government the same as protesting against the US governments?
Israelis protesting the Israeli government in Israel is the same as Americans protesting the American government in America.
Foreigners who are guests in any country are an entirely different situation. They are on visas for some stated purpose and that stated purpose was not to protest or disrupt the lives of their hosts.

This isn’t going to end until we have another Kent State.
As for me, if the KKK tries to demonstrate and the effort ends poorly for a few of them, so be it. If other similarly antisemitic groups try to demonstrate and the effort ends poorly for a few of them, so be it.
I have zero empathy for that stuff.

People protesting peacefully in a space they are allowed to is perfectly fine, do it on medians and other large areas with a permit.
People protesting and getting violent or occupying things after they are told to not do it is a problem.
I don’t care if students want to be retards and support Palestine. I do care if you illegally occupy a space or block a road way.
If you are here on a visa you better not commit a crime.
This would be like me getting a Irish visa then going to one of the protest to get the third worlders out of Ireland then getting upset if they deported me.

And again, nearly 8 pages where about 6 of it wasn't good debate, but going back and forth with someone that has the absolute worst takes and is purposely trolling the board. Do better Politards.

I don't remember any people on the right saying foreign natonals should be able to protest in the USA - would be interested to know who did.

Not for foreigners. No right leaner has ever wanted that.
I get that there was a judgment on these things but I think that judgement needs to be reinterpreted
