yupThose who commit violence should be locked up, whatever side they are on.
jan 6 looks tame compared to the last several years of street riots. Of course any and all actual law breaking needs to be punished (with sensible DAs and real punishment for crimes)So you must be in favor of the Jan 6 rioters getting arrested as well?

Do you favor equal application of the law?
I have already shared the criticism of UCLA administration, LAPD, Mayor and Gov. Even Gov Newson has chimed in (well after the fact). Those in charge responded with too little, way too late.I'm in LA, so the local news coverage of UCLA has been live and extensive. There is universal agreement that peaceful protestors were attacked the other night and the police did nothing. Now the police have rolled in full force arresting the protesters,, with many of them asking "where were you the other night?". They have a point.
There would be no counter protests if the school administration shut it down the encampments in a timely manner.
Maybe they could have taken it down sooner without waiting for violence to break out.www said:The question looming over the campus now is the fate of the camp. On Tuesday evening, UCLA had declared the camp “unlawful” and in violation of university policy.
Indeed. What about the rights being denied Jewish students? Hard to believe that this is happening in 2024 America.That doesn't mean no violence has been committed across the country. But often these are outside forces causing trouble, or even the opposite side in an attempt to discredit a movement. Either way you don't take away the rights of the many because of the actions of a few.
I get a small dose of mainstream news (ABC) nightly from my local TV station, their bias is palpable (while I am probably right of center).Maybe watch something other than Fox news and you will get a more realistic perspective of world events.

My suspicion is that Gaza and Israel are just a convenient excuse to create chaos with, here and now. These "students" (cough) probably couldn't find Gaza on a map of Gaza.
If they want to free Palestine, protest against Hamas. That is who is using innocent Palestinians as human shields, then blaming the IDF for the deaths that they precipitated.
