Kassi Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 The funniest thing about CHAZ/CHOP is that it established police, taxes, border patrol and a sticky immigration policy within a few weeks. That's clearly where these protestors are headed considering they have no real aim (no, trying to cancel Microsoft, Google, and Amazon is not a tangible objective). Not to mention, they have already exercised authoritarian tendencies over shared campus space. This is supposed to be a PUBLIC school… Can't make this **** up. 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not only is the picture not UCLA (It's Harvard), the reason the sign was put up was so that participants entering would have informed consent about the consequences of participating in the encampment. They were literally just looking out for people who may not have had the full picture to let them know they could face disciplinary action. Posting misinformation with one like is not helping your cause whatsoever. 9 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClashAndBurn Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 56 minutes ago, Kassi said: It is not. Wtf? There are many examples of peaceful, lawful protests: The March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom (1963) - The most famous peaceful protest in American history which saw 250,000 people gathered in D.C. to listen to MLKs iconic "I Have a Dream" speech. Women's March (2017) - Over 500,000 people participated in D.C. alone, with millions more across the United States and the world. March for Our Lives (2018) - Another nationwide protest where hundreds of thousands of people, led by students, called for tighter gun control after the tragic school shooting in Parkland, Florida. Even BLM 2020 was largely peaceful considering its scale (20+ million across the states), until chaos agents and cosplay socialists spun off to pursue their own violent objectives like the Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone (CHAZ) — an unlawful occupation protest and self-declared "liberated" zone. Sound familiar? There's NO rule that says protests MUST be destructive and/or violent to be effective or garner awareness. What did the Women's March and March for Our Lives achieve? Absolutely nothing. Abortion rights are gone and what minimal gun restrictions/background checks there have been have either been hobbled or are on the judicial chopping block. Also I seem to recall Madonna getting herself targeted by the Feds for saying at the Women's March that she dreamed of blowing up the White House, so yeah! Very peaceful! MLK? Was constantly under threat by the government who tried to get him to kill himself. What party was in charge back then? Oh yeah, that's right! The Democrats! Funny you bring up BLM though, since the violence at those demonstrations was almost always instigated by police and outside agitators. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"By Monday morning, the encampment at Royce Quad had grown to approximately 50 tents surrounded by wood and metal fencing. Protesters have appointed guards to block access to the public, including members of the media. KTLA 5 News witnessed those guards attempting to deny entry to UCLA firefighters who wanted to inspect the encampment Monday morning, although they were eventually allowed inside." https://ktla.com/news/local-news/pro-palestinian-protesters-denying-access-to-ucla-encampment/amp/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let alone posting AGAIN misinformation given that the student was a counter-protestor trying to force himself onto the lawn the campus designated as the protestors' (counter protestors were given their own lawn to protest on). Imagine being a Rwandan American and genuinely posting news information from literal blood and soil white supremacists. Maybe Ilhan was right when she said it's always about the Benjamin's.

Regardless, no part of campus should be illegally closed off to tuition paying students. Let alone one's going to class. These protestors need to go HOME.

ZeroSuitBritney Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 Visegard The twink in the video with the curly hair I've seen him in many videos. He is purposely going to areas he know would disrupt the encampment and recording every single encounter and playing victim while also trying to cause a reaction. He's pathetic.

LIT Posted May 3 Author Share Posted May 3 This guy is the head of the Center for American Progress, the mainline Democratic Party think tank. Somehow, even he is delivering a more sensible take on these protests than the liberals of ATRL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Communion Posted May 3 Share Posted May 3 2 minutes ago, VOSS said: I lived in CHAZ in 2020 which is a big part of what's turning me off from these protests lmfao Quote The average annual household income in Capitol Hill is $182,934, while the median household income sits at $117,866 per year. Residents aged 25 to 44 earn $132,224, while those between 45 and 64 years old have a median wage of $135,299. Imagine this being one's reality while then demonizing and complaining about the existence of these people: Over half of Palestinians living on less than $3 a day, only to be framed as a political inconvenience by the richest citizens of the world.

Kassi Posted May 3 Share Posted May 3 Speaking of divestments/stocks, this is a good example of how the schools will placate student by meeting some demands, but the one the protestors want will remain out of reach. It's not a reasonable ask. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
