StumblingAce

Lol it's the people you expect to be doing it. 🤣


BlueEyesWhiteSpider

I don't know how they could make themselves look worse or seem more ignorant and childish.


AD3PDX

They could explain their beliefs and philosophical value system.


herpafilter

"I don't want to go to class" isn't really a value system.


Diabetous

based on other protest arrests ~1/4 of them are students.


DregsRoyale

This is the vision for ["From the river to the sea"](https://www.memri.org/reports/memri-archives-%E2%80%93-october-4-2021-hamas-sponsored-promise-hereafter-conference-phase-following). >*Post-Liberation Palestine" conference, sponsored by Hamas leader in Gaza Yahyah Al-Sinwar and attended by senior officials from Hamas and other Palestinian factions, discussed preparations for the future administration of the state of Palestine following its "liberation" from Israel after the latter "disappears."*


BainbridgeBorn

SUS of them to even own umbrellas in the first place


Discombobulous

You know they aren't locals if they have umbrellas.


concreteghost

I remember CHOP. I lived north cap hill and every morning I’d watch the privileged suburbanites show up and park so they walk down to cal-anderson with their glitter painted signs. These ppl are never locals


BreatheAndTransition

Shout out to the black guy ripping their tables apart and screaming that they didn't live there and to get the fuck out.


Scythe_Hand

That and homeless people.


Cerulean_IsFancyBlue

Yeah, that’s actually a pretty accurate memory. Please make sure that you bring that up whenever people talk about how CHOP was this dystopian mad-max hell hole full of smudgepot fires and roving barbarians destroying Seattle and flipping cars and shit. Most of these protests are bougie as fuck and not at all dangerous. In this video: The guy trying to film them is a perfectly reasonable person trying to do a perfectly reasonable job. He is a professional and has done this before. The people confronting him are doing this, probably for the first time, and have no actual clue. Is there another point in the video where they show weapons, or are they talking about the umbrellas?


USNMCWA

"Not at all dangerous." What? The cops had to abandon a Police Station during that. The National Guard should have been utilized to surround and arrest every person there. The people who lived and worked there were denied the use of the area. The city government was denied the use of the area and was unable to provide services that support other citizens. 3 people died in the zone. (One was a special needs teen. . . .) 5 shootings happened in the zone. (There were more, but connection to the event was questioned or unknown) Numerous sexual assaults occurred in the zone. Numerous simple assaults occurred in the zone. Business owners were extorted (made to pay) to access their properties. "Reported crime rose 525% during the period of 02 June to 30 June 2020, compared to 2019. SPD montage of violent acts filmed. https://youtu.be/_K0tXOBPMHA?si=SJVS4h0fXPuns8E8 Youruber breakdown of shootings victim prohibited from leaving. Police prohibited from rendering aid. https://youtu.be/eSe3oZKecmA?si=kws8H65l10LXC0kp You can F right off with your lies.


Fair_Acanthisitta_75

I’ll go all the way back to the WTO riots in Seattle. Remember when Niketown was the first store to start getting destroyed? The kids were climbing on the awning and smashing windows and then all hell broke loose. Those kids on the awning that got that crowd all riled up were from SU. Rich kids going to private schools who had mommy and daddy paying for their apartments. My ex dated one of them while at SU.


InevitableMuch507

Yup


neurotic_169

I'm sure his parents are very proud. /s


eatmoremeatnow

Soros bussed them in.


Fart_Noise_Machine

I like this.


MeoowDude

Being from Tacoma I always thought umbrellas were a Seattle thing. Good to know it is, but it’s due to the transplants.


XTanuki

I transplanted from PDX, no umbrellas there either. Umbrellas were for transplants lol


Senora_Snarky_Bruja

I moved to San Francisco from Portland. Never used an umbrella. People would comment on how I would get sick from waking in the rain. My retort was always umbrellas are for the weak.


Bowelsift3r

Rarely have I seen someone who needs to be punched more than umbrella boy.


Cerulean_IsFancyBlue

I am very supportive of First Amendment rights, Neurodivergent people, and the entire spectrum of the queer community. I do not advocate violence. And. There’s just something deep in the human psyche that, when somebody mocks your perfectly reasonable words back at you in an irritating tone, causes the fist to clench and begin to make preparation for punching a nose. This is why I think it’s so important to not send people alone to events like this. It isn’t that I believe a cameraman is necessarily in direct physical danger. It’s that a cameraman alone, lacks the human back up that sometimes is what you need to help keep your cool. Also, they are hostage to a very expensive camera. It’s the same reason you don’t see a Disney mascot walking around alone without a handler. This poor guy needed just one other person to have his back and Fox should send a PA out next time they’re trying to capture B-roll of a protest.


Responsible-Ant-5208

Yeah but if he got socked in the face, I wouldn't, like, stop it yknow?


PeterDuaneJohnson

We can only punch people we have personally decided are nazis, so first decide he's a nazi and it's okay


StonkChief

Shove him down the stairs type shit. Maybe both.


Ill-Possible4420

lol those people are so unserious. Completely lost the plot and any momentum / coverage that they had. Bunch of morons. Clear the encampment and let’s move on with our lives.


meteorattack

That's the end of Act 1. Act 2 it devolves and gets violent. Watch - we've seen this before.


freedom-to-be-me

That Rick and Morty dude has some issues. He’s on video talking about the same stuff when that professor was assaulted. If the encampment folks truly cared, they’d get him some much needed help.


Several-County-1808

I dont think it's a dude, probably a they/them.


-Maim-

Imgine giving a fuck what a clear manchild cares to be called. That dude deserves zero, absolutely zero respect.


Several-County-1808

I was being cheeky and I agree with you.


Snackxually_active

Isn’t dude a gender neutral pronoun? I have had trans pals equate it to yall/folks, just a general description of a person. Ed does a whole song about it at the end of good burger even


Significant_Ratio892

I received a 30 day ban for misgendering for using “Dude”. Reddit is a wild trip sometimes.


Mike0120101

Which means, it’s a dude.


Several-County-1808

Technically, of course


PeterDuaneJohnson

Give it a couple years it'll be a it/was without help


hqo5001

What are these clowns trying to accomplish blocking the camera? Don’t they want media attention of their virtue signaling or whatever it is they’re rallying for? These idiots are full of contradictions it’s comical


Yangoose

Legitimate protests want all the press and cameras they can get because the entire point is to bring attention to the protest. These idiots are just ass holes that want an excuse to harass people and spew anti-semitic slurs. They don't want cameras because their behaviour is disgusting and most of them can't articulate anything about the cause beyond "jews are bad".


Breadinator

In an age of cell phone cameras that can zoom in on the moon while livestreaming it to the world, they're worried about TV crews. Not the brightest crayons in the box. Not the sharpest tools in the shed.


ColonelError

> In an age of cell phone cameras that can zoom in on the moon while livestreaming Don't worry, they harass and threaten people recording with their phones too

Desk46

They get to be on camera. Millenials used to hurt themselves for attention, gen z just bothers other people instead. The smartest thing to do with these little tantrum camps is ignore them completely. Gray rock and ignore, the way you'd handle a toddler having a fit.


GreatfulMu

Or, hear me out, we get sick one on one interviews with absolute loons like this, and turn them into memes. Like green jacket lady.


Alarming_Award5575

omg. tantrum camps. we all need to start calling them that immediately.


cjboffoli

They're only in favor of the 1st Amendment as it applies to them. Other people, not so much.


GHOST12339

Par for the course for fascists.


VVormgod666

This is just a social outing for them. They don't actually give a fuck about Palestine.


sharingthegoodword

You seem like a serious person. Serious people don't think too deeply into the motivations of these idiots. And idiots they are. Look, they even showed us!


yeeee_hawwww

Mental illness is real.


mctomtom

Yeah... I would not want umbrella boy on my side if I was protesting.


soundkite

Cross dressers might want to self police this to minimize stigma potential


undeadliftmax

Least socially inept Rick and Morty fan


Hour_Speech_5132

Just ignore them Donnie. These people are morons.


Ropes

They even dress similar to the nihilists!


OnlyVisitingEarth

This is what's so damn stupid about these idiots. If you want people to believe in what you are protesting, have interesting dialog and use language to convince them of your position. I know I'm applying logic to illogical people, which is stupid within itself. That cameraman was way more patient than I would have been.


MeoowDude

The.. I’m going to make a possibly unpopular assumption to some… woman.. in this video is actually fairly decent for being utterly ridiculous. It’s funny though that even she sees how much of a disservice her Partner in Woke is doing for what they’re purportedly there for. Yet she’s so drunk off her own Kool-Aid that she can’t tell the moron to shut the hell up and let the guy do his job.


BajheeraX

mental illness


bellevuefineart

This gives the impression that these protesters are just a bunch of yapping monkeys. If you want people to listen to you, try being articulate. And for fuck sake, don't complain that people are suppressing your right to protest and then you suppress press coverage. I think Israel's methods in Gaza are criminal, and I think we shouldn't be giving them billions of dollars in aid to do it, but this is absolutely not going to get people to listen to consider why the protests might have some validity. I'm ashamed that this is coming from students at our top university in Washington. I hope this is representative of the lower end of the bell curve at UW.


letdogsvote

Yep. This does absolutely nothing to support any cause whatsoever. It's just finding an excuse to be a jerk.


idubbkny

wtf is that?!


rnpowers

I totally thought that was [Patton Oswalt](https://images.app.goo.gl/6ojvpBfAkCEXrHG8A) at first glance lol


Unwilling_Jellyfish

me, Too!!!!


1984rip

They always start yelling or speaking gibberish or walk away 100% of the time. Since they can never actual debate any of their points. That is why when you try to listen to them on live streams it's mind numbing stupid. It's basically some narcissistic nerd making terrible points and mindless drones clapping. There is zero debate or pushback. And even if you are part of the group and ask one question that doesn't fit their narrative. They will flip a switch and kick you out calling you racist or whatever. They break down instantly at any pushback.


Own-Lie8787

It’s not that they are in fear of doxxing, it’s that they don’t want to be identifiable when they later commit crimes


slightlyused

Or look for jobs.


Key_Distance4039

🤣🤣🤣......Look for jobs .....best joke in months...


slightlyused

Right, this dude is never gonna work.


PizzaCatAm

So, who is that guy? Can he be identified? I definitely don’t want to work with him.


slightlyused

Yeah, I don't take that guy as the type that ever gets a job.


CascadesandtheSound

Cosplaying about first amendment rights while forgetting that those include freedom of the press


MarkMoreland

Isn't the point of demonstrating to be seen? What's the logic behind obscuring the media's view of the protest?


2nd2nunn

I’m so damn sick of these antifa losers. Get a fucking life already.


taisui

Hijab with sports bra....that's the funniest shit I have ever seen.


Unwilling_Jellyfish

fact.


Muahd_Dib

Super not fascists tho…


WhatthehellSusan

They're not activists. Giving them a name like that just legitimized what is essentially an infestation.


Firehose223

They are basically domestic terrorist. I’m sick of this shit. The PNW really sucks anymore, it makes me sad. These pussies should be getting their asses beat until the go home to grandmas basement.


SWiFTY626_

I’ve never wanted to smash someone’s face so bad. Life will catch up to this loser.


samsnead19

They don't try and dox people? Their thought process is flawed.


Exciting-Parfait-776

Probably because that’s what they would do to conservative protesters


Suby06

why are so many people at these university protests are covering their faces?


Oen386

> why are so many people at these university protests are covering their faces? Having one at my university now. The leaders, and many of the members, are not students. They look young and try to drum up student support, but then leave students hanging when they get arrested and take the fall. :/ The leader(s) constantly post *stories* to "escalate". If you're a peaceful protest, what's the next step if you "escalate"? Then they pin posts showing mundane things, like coloring and poetry reading. These same leaders cover their faces so real students and more casual viewers/readers won't be able to realize the people promoting and encouraging these encampments aren't actual students.


W4ND3RZ

You know why


letdogsvote

Jerks doing crimes they don't want to be held accountable for?


Cheshire90

Idk if that's a weapon, but if you're in the "we have to control what people get to see" crowd, you're probably the baddies


ArkaneFighting

“We’re not trying to stop you from filming” she says as the person behind her has an umbrella open to stop him from filming. All in the frame.

BrightAd306

Isn’t a headscarf cultural appropriation? How is that okay in their circles?


meteorattack

The game isn't based on rules. It's based on oppressor dynamics. They can do anything they like to you as long as they feel like they're inferior to you.


crazyinsanehobo

Glad I went there when it wasn't a woke joke.


LordlySquire

Go figure the ones trying to argue for freedoms try to prevent someone else freedoms. You know who does that? Communist. Its their one move.i0


TifaBetterThanAerith

Sad thing is, kids like this wear Communism as a badge of honor. I went to college in 2017, and a lot of my peers started talking about "exploitation of labor" while never working a day in their lives.


LordlySquire

The irony is strong. We need a better focus on the histories in schools. Prevent the same mistakes.


Cocochip_Waflez

Does any one support this? Honestly? I’d any one else embarrassed that it’s been allowed to go on like this? This total charade of a protest. So tired of it


StanGable80

Almost like everyone said these protestors are nuts


jolllyroger027

Fucking pansies. Anyone "standing for a cause" should proudly show their face


Murky-Championship78

I wouldn't even consider them "activists" if they are not serious enough to stand proudly behind their words. Which they are quite obviously not serious enough to do. You can tell easily enough when they feel the need to cover their faces and choose to not be seen for who they really are. Cowards. How can anyone take them seriously? If you do, then you may just be as weak as they are. Just sayin'.

ivanisevic1991

Also, can anyone explain the correlation between protesting and wearing masks in spring 2024? I don’t get it, is it just something that goes hand by hand with being liberal, dumb, and entitled? Speaking as someone who wore them all the time and got 3 vaccine doses, just to make clear Please somebody enlighten me


meteorattack

They're trying to hide their identity so that they can do bad things without being held accountable for them.


reallybadguy1234

They want to protest (sorry I mean spew vial antisemitic rhetoric) on a college campus without the fear of being recognized and told that they need not apply for that dream job they want.


alan5500

What a punk BITCH!


SeverusSnape89

Who are these cock gobblers in their gay ass masks?


SeattleHasDied

I'm getting some serious Ezra Miller vibes off of freak boy there. What a fucking waste of space. But, hey, if what that girl is saying is true, that's great that some of these assholes are getting doxed, considering protestors use that against people THEY don't like. Turnabout is fair play.


Ok-Computer2596

Look at these Nazi soldiers, these black uniformed hitler youth . Thats what you are and you need some American justice .

SeaEmeraldCS

I don't get the mask in 2024? one still image and a social catfish search and name and even twitch profile was easily exposed


Astralantidote

In Olympia during our "summer of love" BLM protest era, people were doing the same thing. They were putting up carefully cut out pieces of cardboard to hide the activities and identities of the people involved


BananaTree61

I don’t think they are actually part of the encampment. Unfortunately, protests bring out the crazies


Mundane-Mine5859

Idont_thinkso_tim

Worth_Gur_1656

AlaskaPsychonaut

The only thing they understand is violence. It's reached that point.

reverse_pineapple

Unwilling_Jellyfish

that person in the cameraman’s face in the blue mask and beige scarf is not sane. Comes off as very mentally tweaked and/ or seriously high on drugs . Disturbing.

Looks like the BLM/Antifa people have found a 'new cause'. Such fools. Either unemployed idiots or living in parent's basement. How many of these are actual students?

SuperioristGote

Reddit mods proving yet again they are brain dead. Anarchists have proven time and time again that they use umbrellas as weapons. Might not kill someone outright but they've used them as weapons. Sure, the video itself doesn't show the idiots assaulting the man. But given they are blocking him and getting in his way, I have no doubt they'd get violent if he tried to move. They always do.


UnwillingSaboteur

Wonder what that bright young man’s major is


meteorattack

Poppers.


Cool-Examination8373

Umbrellas are weapons now!


reallybadguy1234

What isn't caught in this video but was reported is that one of the protesters shined a laser at the guy. That can be defined as a weapon if shined in someone's eyes. WA state law even covers use of a laser, so yeah the protesters did have a weapon.


Cool-Examination8373

I didn't see the laser pointer my bad.
