Tulane University evacuated three buildings Monday afternoon after pro-Palestinian demonstrators scuffled with police and set up a small encampment on the front lawn of the Uptown campus along St. Charles Avenue.

Six tents were erected in front of Gibson Hall and dozens of demonstrators linked arms around the encampment as police, who detained several demonstrators during brief clashes earlier in the evening, looked on.


quote:

Roughly 200 demonstrators, chanting slogans and calling for Tulane to divest from investments in Israel, far outnumbered roughly a dozen Tulane University police officers and four mounted New Orleans Police Department officers who were on the scene.


quote:

“We have just established the free Gaza university,” said protester Jack Saucier after the group successfully pitched the tents. “We are going to take back our right to public space. We are going to stay here until the university meets our demands. We will stay peaceful until that is done.”

“Disclose, divest, we will not stop we will not rest,” the protesters chanted.

And what do you learn at this university? How to hate?

These Neo-Aryans need to learn critical thinking skills at this university. Not just how to hate.

Don't the police have tasers for situations like this?

I don't really have a problem if someone wants to protest because they think Israel has gone overboard with their response to Oct 7, but...

...it's very suspicious this is a demand across the country. There has to be some top-down coordination/message.

Where can we find some sacks of snakes and turn the loose in their tents?

The protests won’t exactly fall on deaf ears, but they’ll fall on a lot of Jewish ears on the Tulane campus so the effect will be the same.

I figured Tulane would have a scaled down Iron Dome on the campus

Wouldn’t matter. They are too stupid to understand.

I prefer the 40 Mike Mike beanbag. Nothing like a good protestor nut shot.
