Are we really tho? No one is shutting down protests, they are shutting down encampments that disturb others. They’d do the same for Trump supporters or pro-abortion activists if they just set up camp in the middle of a university.
- lynx23 2y agoWait, disturbance is the prblem? I always thought disturbance is a means of getting attention. But maybe you should talk to FFF activists, I hear they are extremely good with disturbing the common man.
- stanleykm 2y agoAh yeah we need to shut down the protests to stop the inconvenience. It would be better for them to go to a park on a Saturday afternoon between 2 and 4:30, permit in hand, and let their voices be heard by the pigeons and fountains.
- xenospn 2y agoYes, threatening fellow students with violence and disrupting daily life for weeks is “an inconvenience”. Right.
- stanleykm 2y agodisrupting daily life is the entire point of a protest. A protest that does not disrupt daily life is not a protest. The point of the protest is to make things difficult for the people you are trying to persuade. Again we did not win our freedoms through polite discourse.
- ilikehurdles 2y agoThis is a straw-man argument and a false dichotomy. It is in fact good for society to not tolerate weeks of illegal property occupation, wanton destruction, mob rule, and harrassment of the certain people public on “free speech” grounds. This has never been in the legal scope of free speech in America, and that is a good thing.
- stanleykm 2y agoYes yes we value property over human lives I get it.
