I can’t wait for the surprise Pikachu on their faces when the university takes action. If they think actions should have consequences for others, why shouldn’t it apply to them as well?
There will be no surprised Pikachu faces because anyone out there protesting values innocent human lives more than a suspension, expulsion, or unjust criminal charges unto them.
I think you might not get protesting.
See, I still don’t see you getting the whole protesting thing, here.
Let’s not try and pigeon-hole our way out of making ourselves look dumb by making ourselves look dumber, now…
Did the average civilian just living their life have anything to do with it?
Palestine is not Hamas. Can you imagine what it would be like for those who live in the US if everyone were held guilty of crimes the US has committed against the world?
If that’s really true, why weren’t they protesting when the saudis were bombing the hell out of Yemen?
That’s a good point, we should be ending our relationship with both Israel and the Saudis! Both countries are constantly violating established human rights, according to international law.
I mean, does it really make a difference? I agree that more things like this should be protested. But even if you think they’re hypocrites that doesn’t mean they’re wrong now. Put it this way: if they had protested the Saudis, would this protest be totally cool with you?
And obviously the answer is because their university and government are backing and funding this one. If you can’t see the difference in relevance to the average American you have a serious problem.
So disingenuous as you know that you’d be against people protesting that too.
Their camp is still there on campus past the deadline. They clearly haven’t fully faced the consequences of it yet.
Nah, I expect people are dumb enough to think the first amendment protects them from private institutions and consequences. I’ve seen enough people over the years that have proven me right and were then surprised by the consequences of their own actions.
