Dennis 8,391 Posted May 3, 2024 Share Posted May 3, 2024 A small group of students decided to hold a pro-Palestinian rally. Trump supporters decided to show up in force and counter-protest. While both have the right to protest, the behavior from the other side became extremely vile as they started engaging in racially motivated attacks against one of the pro-Palestinian protestors. Then, they chanted "lock her up" as the police were trying to escort her away. The woman was visibly shaken and wanted the police to do something about the harassment. This comes as there is now what appears to be a national trend of conservative students crashing pro-Palestinian protests: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AkariGaga 1,252 Posted May 3, 2024 Share Posted May 3, 2024 Ok and Also Biden is so disgusting for branding these protests as violent protests while 98 % of them are peaceful.They would rather protect Israel rather than preventing a genocide.

Biden gave the speech in the context of what happened at UCLA, which was a riot, not peaceful protest. He is correct. I watched the whole thing live. This example however IS a peaceful rally. They were only holding signs in compliance with university rules and not vandalizing/bothering anyone. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eh, the comment Biden made about violence appeared to be more general, but even if it were only pertaining to UCLA, Biden makes no distinction between the outside agitators (who instigated the violence) and the protestors that had already set up the encampment, who were largely peaceful. He also pretty willfully conflated vandalism and violence, which is absolutely wild imo. We have forgotten our public MANNERS Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He also pretty willfully conflated vandalism and violence, which is absolutely wild imo. I mean when you vandalize, destroy property, throw objects at police officers (including metal objects) and spray police officers with fire extinguishers, that is not a peaceful protest. I'm just being objective here. I understand people sympathize with the cause. Biden did mention the right to protest peacefully, but his comments about the violence were largely assumed to be about Columbia and UCLA, not other campuses. Those were the most high-profile cases. And generally, when things turn violent, it's counterproductive, because it'll alienate many people who would've otherwise supported the cause.

SharkmanthaC 115,047 Posted May 3, 2024 Share Posted May 3, 2024 So many things I could say. But the fact that they are calling her Lizzo makes me mad. A black woman in a bigger body and all they can say is Lizzo? Racist much? she/her/hers Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vengaboy 1,421 Posted May 3, 2024 Share Posted May 3, 2024 This is disgusting behaviour. And reading the comments on that tweet I literally feel like I want to give up on humanity. There are so many foul c*nts out there and these f*cking idiots who don't have a CLUE what's actually going on in the world think they need to protect their precious America.

AkariGaga 1,252 Posted May 3, 2024 Share Posted May 3, 2024 And while we are at it,the one thing both democrats and republicans seem to agree on is how to bootlick the Genocidal Israel regimen,like planning to sanction the ICC if they issue arrest warrants for Natenrahu and that antisemitism bill that outlaws any critism against Israel and the ongoing genocide,America is standing on the wrong side of the history. Shame on you Biden and the ****ing democrats,and offcourse Trump .You guys are the same.Too bad we have no choice but to deal with one of these two Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
