ylaiStudent protesters face same suspensions as those who bring assault rifles to campus
đ¤
ThatâŚ
That canât be good.
This is paywalled for me
This is proof that those making the decisions fear protest to the same level as they fear long guns.
One they should fear much less, the other much more.
What a timeline.
Granbo's Holy HotrodItâs the combination they are afraid of
dual_sport_dork đ§đĄď¸Yeah, that seems like the obvious response to me. Want to pretend like weâre armed? Okay, now weâre armed.
LizI have said it before, I will say it again: these protesters need to start peacefully carrying rifles en masse. When they do, we will start to find they wonât get attacked by the police or counter protesters anymore.
Weapons kill bodies; protests kill corporate ideology.
glomagIf they're going to get the same suspension either way, they might as well..........
Fast track to double secret probation!
ăJăăuăăsăătăăZăWhat a shitty headline.
Itâs a suspension pending hearing.
Theyâre used for a whole host of reasons including things way less serious than taking a gun to school.
Some of those facing punishment, including 40 students at UC San Diego, were slapped with âinterim suspensionâ notices following mass arrests at protest encampments. But many others who avoided arrest face the same penalty for reasons that are far less clear. âŚ
âYou very rarely see these interim suspension cases,â said Sukham Sidhu, who heads of the Office of Student Advocacy at UC San Diego and has spent her undergraduate career representing peers through campus disciplinary proceedings. âThe only times Iâve seen it imposed are in cases of physical assault.â
Physical assault = bringing an assault rifle to campus? In your mind?
Interim suspensions are a universal thing in colleges. Every college has them. They are used all the time. Cheating. Sexual harassment. Threats.
And it worked LoL. The simpletons are frothing over the bait. Thereâs video of one of the protesters at UCLA literally pulling a gun on a guy they thought was pro IsraelâŚbut wasnât LoL he was there to join. Heâs been doing pretty funny interviews about it, doesnât seem like the brightest light.
More protests need people openly armed so cops are less likely to abuse us and leaders listen.
Very cool students!
Yeah thatâll end well. Theyâll either have the swat team mowing people down for have the national guard do the same thing. Theyâll treat it like terrorism and wipe everyone out, then go on the evening news and say the protestors were firing on police first and killing puppies.
Thatâs not how it has historically went. When the protestors are armed, organized, and remain peaceful, the cops back off because cops are cowards
Ok, and when is the last time that happened here in the US in the last 40 years?
Pro-gun rally by thousands in Virginia ends peacefully
RICHMOND, Va. (AP) â Tens of thousands of gun-rights activists from around the country rallied peacefully at the Virginia Capitol on Monday to protest plans by the state's Democratic leadership to pass gun-control legislation â a move that has become a key flash point in the national debate over gun
That only works if they break no other laws. In a lot of places, committing a misdemeanor while armed makes it a felony.
Yeah, I donât know that it would work in these particular protests.
That only works if youâre a fascist, because cops wonât target their allies.
Black Panthers seemed to prove otherwise. They wonât brutalize in the moment, but it will stick in their craw and theyâll wait to hurt you later.
Why you should always protest with guns
I disagree. Protesting with guns just means the whole thing would devolve into a firefight with more civilians than police being killed.
And thereâs the strong likelihood in that situation that innocent bystanders would be murdered.
Itâs not happened like that in the past.
If protesters are armed then the police tend to back off.
Of course, the government then has to choose wether or not to drop bombs on the protesters, but the odds are way, way against that.

Thatâs why you might as well strap up when protesting. Gonna get the same shit no matter what.
At least when youâre strapped, the police are behaved.

THCDentonWell she did say she felt safer with the bear :p
Those who make peaceful protest impossible, make violent protest inevitable.
A_Chilean_CyborgI come and study in a place that protesting in university is almost normal, would even go to say that is one of the staples of Chilean universitary culture, something you must Live at lest once to feel complete would say⌠I canât believe that in the so called âcountry of freedomâ students are repressed like in authoritarian countries. (Even tough they donât reach in extent to commit true crimes against humanity to those who oppose.)
Students should be the spearhead of societal change, and a society that suppress the students is a society that suppress change.
Here in chile, that kind of attitude would make the protests worsen off heavily and be turned around to demand for the deanery to be replaced.
SpaceCowboyThreatening people of another ethnicity is the same thing no matter who is doing it.
Sure we generally take extreme measures against those that threaten Jews. But given past history, is that really a bad thing?
When you see antisemitism, call it it out. Donât look the other way out of fear of being ostracized. These protest movements have a problem, it wonât go away if you pretend to not see it.
tearsintherainJust because you say so, doesnât make it true.
Israel isnât an ethnicity. Neither is zionism.
Calling hard truths antisemitic makes antisemitism meaningless.
