"The constitution does not protect....hate speeches.....against ethnic or religious groups" Objective comments on public message boards is not hate speech to cause harm or start a riot. We seem to have a wonderful dynamic between woke liberals and everyone else. When confronted by the truth pour on the obscenities. |

First, the leftist protesters are largely non-violent. Second, the few who do act up end up arrested, despite Trump's insinuations to the contrary. But his tactics have never needed to be fact-based to accomplish their goal of permitting his followers to be their worst selves. They already want to believe that the left is violent, so they feel justified in actually being violent. Assholes on FOX are comparing the campus protests with the January 6 attackers! Unfortunately this is par for the course. People engage in protest over a grievance they consider important enough to engage in civic disobedience to bring attention to their issue. Then in almost every instance the protestors separate into groups with competing interests. In my experience the vast majority of those gathering are there for the cause. Then are those who come for the purpose of disruption, either as counter protests or for the sheer thrill of raising hell and wreaking havoc. During the George Floyd protests the provocateurs were suburban kids acting out for goofs and white supremacists whose mission was to provoke response from police. In Minneapolis the powder keg appear to have been ignited by the guy vandalizing the AutoZone. Known as The Umbrella Man was first identified as a white supremacist https://abcnews.go.com/US/man-helped-ignite-george-floyd-riots-identified-white/story?id=72051536 however https://www.fbi.gov/contact-us/field-offices/minneapolis/news/press-releases/fbi-seeks-publics-help-in-identifying-umbrella-man Meanwhile ANOTHER white supremacist set the police precinct on fire and capped off a bunch of rounds in the process. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/oct/23/texas-boogaloo-boi-minneapolis-police-building-george-floyd The police response was totally over the top. https://www.mprnews.org/story/2024/04/02/minneapolis-says-all-postriot-recommendations-after-george-floyds-murder-implemented There is a third group of those who join protests. They are the ones who see what is unfolding in the streets and figure they can work crazy hours a week and they STILL will never be able to afford that sixty inch flat screen they covet and so it is tally ho! I might as well go get mine! What does the media report on what drives the people to protest? Fuck no! What does the general public say about the protests? Why must they do all the burning and looting? it just hurts their cause! Wash, rinse, repeat. For perspective consider the 1968 Democratic National Convention. The police rioted and America turned to Richard Nixon to restore Law and Order. |

The recent wave of pro-Palestinian protests on college campuses came on suddenly and shocked people across the nation. But the political tactics underlying some of the demonstrations were the result of months of training, planning and encouragement by longtime activists and left-wing groups. At Columbia University, in the weeks and months before police took down encampments at the New York City campus and removed demonstrators occupying an academic building, student organizers began consulting with groups such as the National Students for Justice in Palestine, veterans of campus protests and former Black Panthers. |
