Breaking into a university building with a large group of other people, obstructing publicly-funded research, and creating a dangerous environment for hundreds of others without winding up in jail is an example of "protestor" privilege, for only certain values of "protestor".
Mouth-breathing children have been performing these stunts with increasing regularity and chutzpah because they know they have no skin in the game, and it is for the same reason that these "protests" are embarrassingly ineffectual. They manage to take out a few exceptionally honorable hot-heads who are unwilling to genuflect towards the idiocy, and then the hot-heads transition into a cushy tech job with twice the pay and respect.
