I can smell that tweet from here 

White protestors (presumably well-off or otherwise privileged students) at UNC throwing bottles and liquids at African American police officers circled around the flagpole to protect the American flag was not on my bingo card today.

Well, the rest of them look like someone asked a chatbot to create the book version of Carrie.

They often are not.

They are free to get all the food and water they want -- I'm sure there's a cafe near campus.  They just have to leave the building they have taken over to go get it.  And no, the university has no obligation to allow other people to bring food and water in to those people.  If you wanted food and water when you started your illegal occupation of a facility, you should have planned ahead and brought some.

But this is about being performative and "look at me," not about any actual well-thought-out strategy.  Y'all made a poor choice (set up camp in a building without bringing the necessities).  Live with your choice.

For a bit of context with protests for divestiture in history... People have been fucking up Columbia's shit for generations and it didn't seem to irrevocably stain the university or it's honor

Great work by that reporter. Lets her hang herself out to look like a moron. It’s the dog that catches the car and then doesn’t know what to do with it.

My son’s Boy Scout troop camps in primitive areas and these are kids from 11-17 or so years old, and yet somehow they are able to hike up to a mile, bringing in their own water, food, tents, sleeping bags, clothes, etc.  And it’s food they are cooking and not some freeze-dried shir, These 18-and-up students couldn’t be bothered to hit up the McDonalds down the block, or bring a case or two of granola bars or bring some water jugs and fill them up once inside.

Yep.  Nothing they are doing will attract Israel or Hamas’s attention or change any minds whatsoever.  It’s clearly for the social media likes, based on the lack of preparation.  The fact they didn’t prepare makes me think they wouldn’t actually get in and be stuck there.

And based on my knowledge of protests at UT, I’d bet half the guys there are trying to get into the pants of one of the women (or men).

The bolded QFT.  Because 18-22 yr olds are not the best complex thinkers.  And the males among them are among the simplest of thinkers.

I have no problem with him voicing either sentiment (fuck them US and Israel).  Both are political sentiments.

Of course, with freedom comes consequences.  He may well see what future employers think of that.  Take big boy actions, then you play by big boy rules.  That's the thing that few of these nimrods (left or right) seem to get.  It reminds me of the various white supremacists getting pissed when they were doxxed and lost their jobs -- "waaah, I wanted to do Nazi shit, but not shoulder any of the consequences of being a known Nazi."  Those things don't go together.  You are free to take whatever stand you want, and other people are free to think you are a POS because of it, and refuse to be associated with you.  White hood/mask yelling "white power" or black and white keffiyeh yelling "burn down the US and Israel," doesn't much matter -- there's a large group who will judge you to be a shitty person.

I don't have a problem with him voicing those opinions either.  Unless he was calling for imminent violence or threatening someone with imminent violence, he should be free from any recriminations or punishment from state actors.

His future employers and his private school can obviously do what they want.

I do think masks or disguises should not be allowed in protests.  Especially if they are being used to prevent the lawbreakers among otherwise peaceful protests from being caught and prosecuted for violating time/place/manner, damaging property, or committing violence.

I'm having a hard time believing this person is really a Columbia student. "Obligated to provide food to students who paid for a meal plan" -- seriously she will never get respectable job ever with this floating around the internet.

How do they enforce this?  Arrest and extricate mask wearers?  Good luck

Disagree.  No one should be subjected to looking at these disgusting fuckers, even the other disgusting fuckers protesting with them.

Cut off all utilities.  And start blasting Hulk Hogan's theme song, "I am a Real American" at 130 decibels and on a loop.

Well, he threatened to burn the university down.

If we're following "Tent Law" as I understand it, he's crossed the line from "might camp" to actually saying he's "going to camp." 

Also, fuck him.

Posted on the other protest thread, but applicable:  eco-warriors in Germany stormed a Porsche plant and glued their hands to the floor.  In the perfect form, the workers just ignored them, finished their shifts, went home, and turned off the lights; leaving these idiots alone in the dark, glued to the floor.  The stranded ones managed to call the police who had to bring in fire and medical teams because hands were swelling and being impacted by the glue.  The eco-warriors then tried to sue Porsche for their inhumane treatment of being ignored and left in the dark.

Weapons grade strategery right there...

I thought about cutting utilities and playing some theme music blasting, but I’m ashamed I forgot Real American. 
 

fine job sir 

I think, beyond the "request for humanitarian aid" from the PHD in "imagination and poetry" the Hamas fanboi who could offer no actual logical reason to his love of Hamas was my favorite take so far.

This appears to have a good bit of the Occupy movement "logic" on/development of one thing devolving into something completely different.
