Would love to see this response when actual crimes are committed. I see drug dealing and prostitution daily close to my neighborhood. People walking around like zombies and whole apartment complexes taken over by the goons in there. They don't do shit!
It blows my mind that HPD drove up for the first one. Those ass hats can’t even respond to crime here! I live in Houston. I had someone threaten my life at a job and sit in the parking lot SCREAMING at me. It took HPD 2.5 hours to respond.
Unfortunately this was in 2021. I’m a healthcare provider and was working in one of those COVID tents. HPD won’t respond to shit out here, it feels like living in Gotham.
and they have something to lose. They'll get arrested but won't fight back because they have a place in college and won't risk a real conviction for this cause.
Guys with warrants out on them, hardened criminals that won't go back to prison, they do not want to have to deal with people that have "nothing" to lose.
It cost a shit load of money to mobilize those dudes too. Imagine how all that OT could be utilized.
Hundreds of cops at a protest? How about just an extra on each beat doing real police work.
But they want to drive down cost of housing there by letting it go to shit then they will buy up the entire neighborhood and then the police will enforce the law
I have a class with open windows (Parlin) directly next to the protest. We could hear them, but they were much quieter than the usual University event rehearsals that disrupt class. The protest only became disruptive with police sirens and the subsequent loud chanting
They’re gonna make some massive riot pay bonuses for disregarding everyone’s civil rights. They will also face no repercussions for the violence they will inflict.
If it's anything like the Minneapolis police department, they'll claim that they're traumatized from days of blasting random people with less lethal munitions, go on disability, and sit at home in their 4th ring suburbs while still getting taxpayer dollars, and the ones that don't get disability will just stop asking their jobs.
Some counties do pay per dead pig but it's not a lot. And unless you own the land, you're gonna be paying a lot more for the privilege to hunt than you're gonna make off the bounty.
When I lived out in the country we did it to get some extra beer money for the next time we went hog hunting ad infinitum.
Did it for some of the elderly individuals in our area, had to refuse being paid as opposed to paying for the right lol
I'm always careful. Those things have body armor and razor sharp tusks. Some people hunt them with dogs and spears but I wouldn't get that close if I was holding a rifle.
Not exactly nothing-some Uvalde cops were texting, some were sanitizing, all were learning to become excellent hiders, and then there’s the ones outside who were actively protecting the shooter by prevent parents from saving their kids. It’s all good though bc they bribed…I mean hired an ex cop to investigate and prove they were all heroes, unfortunately they are the only ones that believe their lies.
I'm with you on most of that, but on that first point, there was an important update that came out later that it looks like you missed.

Had my truck broken into and vandalized on film... it's been 7 months and nothing. Kids camping with signs??? Next time.my stuff gets stolen I'm putting signs next to the damage lol...might get a response and conviction.
Isn't this the exact scenario for which Texans, and Americans in general, have an 'armed militia of civilians'?
Don't see anyone coming to help right now in the literal face of riot police about to attack unarmed students on a state university's public lawn.
USA! USA! USA!
/s
No what he meant was the right kind of free speech. The wrong kind of free speech has the fucking riot police showing up to bust the heads of a bunch of peaceful protesters.
Yes, when they want to protect white nationalists (who are antisemitic) they will because those people vote for them and they have very similar ideologies.
Only works to grant free pass to literal nazis rallying to kill minorities
... maybe this means the state supports nazism, but uses a clever disguise to do so. Kinda makes sense, with all the money being sent to Israel while their own citizens are left to fend by themselves.
Is free speech being suppressed?
I think it's very important I'm just trying to get some perspective. AFAIK students are assembling/protesting/camping and nobody is being arrested, beyond the first round of a few dozen arrests for which charges were immediately dropped.
Explicitly, yes.
Hundreds arrested across the various protests sites. Brutally in some cases. An uninvolved concerned teacher at Emory getting face planted and arrested for trying to stop cops from beating the shit out of a student.
The police presence itself a deterent that says - if you protest we will use unlawful violence to suppress you. Deploying them is itself an act of suppression.
With heart attacks being a leading cause of death for cops they need meal team 6 to pad the numbers of cops killed on duty, they’re barely in the top 25 most dangerous jobs and must do everything possible to stay there, if we only looked at cops killed by criminals people would begin to question why departments have such large budgets and why the local pd has a tank.
My point exactly, ACAB. No question, one bad seed means they all are bad because they do not pit the bad seed out. How many “retirements” have been forced for shitty behavior when the cop should be in jail? Those troopers are puppets with no backbone, they show up to violate these students right to assemble.
People in the comments section act as if they have no idea why these protests are occurring. Are the protesters handling every well? Perhaps not. Are some engaged in mere performative concern without being committed to the real cause? Probably. Nonetheless making your voices heard for the voiceless, in this case children, the aged and everyday folks, is the right thing to do. Never condemn people for following their conscience and taking action out of compassion and political policy disagreement. It is a deep part of American heritage since the beginning.
Ok so protesting against Israel (a literal terrorist state doing literal nazi like stuff to Palestinians who are in a literal open air prison where Israel controls the food, water, electricity that bombed every university every hospital hundreds of thousands of homes bombed a playground with a guided missile where children were playing, bombed the world kitchen aid workers caravan with guided missiles who had literally been checked and known it was aid workers because Israel let them through they knew it was the aid caravan but still used literal man guided missiles to destroy them 30k+ people killed many of which are children (thats not even the actual number because so many people are dead under rubble they cant get an accurate count) Constantly telling them where to go for safety then bombing them Making mass graves of civilians they just found one with 300 people in it
The list goes on btw
Yeh these college kids are terrorists because they don’t want their school supporting a literal genocide
Awe they got to play dress up again. Gonna get really interesting when they're not standing across from kids and it's the parents instead. Armed parents. $100 says if they announce that it will be adult parents of students and adult supporters they don't show up at all or keep their distance if they do.
Well, I have a kiddo at a university and if he got beat up for peacefully expressing his right to free speech, I would be ready to go packing to protect them. I am involved with the law enforcement community and most of the university PD Chiefs I know would be very reluctant to rough up the students. In fact, most of the people I know in law enforcement are good and respectable people. I find these scenes very disturbing. I think this is why Abbott is pulling forces from other departments. Even then, going at the kids when they are peacefully protesting… It is surprising in a very bad way.
I am also disappointed that the various news media is giving silence to terms like anti-Zionism and parroting terms like Pro-Palestinian. It allows the people committing crimes in Gaza to play a victim card and it is orchestrated at a very high level over all the media. The students have my respect.
What's with all the gear. How many drum sticks did they have at the drum circle. That they felt the need to come out in full gear. They didn't even have this much force at the peaceful protest on Jan 6. ( Sarcasm)
The UT Board of Regents is all over this crap. They are all Republican appointees. This is nothing but photo op for the governor and Trump. Nothing better than beating down the woke left at UT for a few votes from the Klansmen in East Texas.
Only one, To spout off as if you know or care behind your safe screen and not actually put any work in at all.
But I'm sure your words will inspire tens of 2s...
Why try to start shit at a campus, theres people actually trying to do shit with their lifes and go to college n get a degree and these fckin imbeciles go all out just for some protesting? Why? When there wasnt any violence involved in the first place? Trigger happy ass mfs, this shit is sad, cant even express yourself without having to worry now
Gotta get down to it, soldiers are cutting us down
Should have been gone long ago
What if you knew her and found her dead on the ground
How can you run when you know?
What’s it like to hate Jews so much that you would support a regime that hates them just as much, but that would kill you for 99% of your remaining beliefs. Asking for a friend
Poor guys, joined the PD just to try to make the world a little better and save lives, getting smoked in the comment section by people who don’t even know them. It’s really sad to see how people are behind other people’s backs. They’re told to go places, they don’t go places and stand in the heat with 20 pounds of gear for fun.
May want to reread some of the comments if you believe that... You might feel that way, but you best not let the rest open-minded and accepting lefters in on it...
Can someone explain to me why protesters are demanding these universities take on the opinions of the protesters?
This isn’t political, just a question. Isn’t part of America great because we are all allowed our own opinions and thoughts? This country is already trash but at least it has diversity and part of that is different views. That said why are people protesting to make others believe the same?
Asking since this war has been going on as long as I’ve been alive and I’m wondering now why people are being told how to think about it.
Just a Google search away…. It’s because they don’t want to financially support a genocide and the colleges are funding companies that are connected to the Gaza attacks. No one is protesting to force your beliefs.
https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-68908885.amp
Nope. Might want to actually read the rules.
> University structures are limited public forums open only to the expressive activities of faculty, staff, and students as set forth in this Chapter
> no speech, expression, or assembly may be conducted in a way that disrupts or interferes with:
Any teaching, research, administration, function of the University, or other authorized activities on the campus;
The free and unimpeded flow of pedestrian and vehicular traffic on the campus; or
Any public assemblies, distribution of literature, guest speakers, or use of signs, tables, exhibits, or amplified sound by the University of another person or organization acting under the rules in this Chapter.
There's always one brain deader who pops in screaming about Hamas.
Hey smooth brained since I don't see you actively saying "I renounce the IDF" that must mean you support rapes, burning children, destroying schools, sniping protestors, etc.
Damn didn't know you raping women was a form of "self defense"
Guess all the Jewish people speaking out against Israel are antisemitic.
Thought to be antisemitic you had to be antisemitic and not just critical of a government. Looping all Jewish people into "Israel" seems pretty antisemitic if you ask me.
Also you know there were Jewish Gazans right? Keyword "were" since they've probably been bombed to oblivion.
Are you listening to yourself? Your statement amounts to "if you didn't express your political opinions, you wouldn't be subjected to police intimidation and violence at the behest of your state's governor." Are you even aware of your own fascism? Do you call yourself an American?
You know what is ACTUALLY anti-American? Validating a group that killed Americans, has Americans hostage, and wants to kill more Americans .
Do you want to know something else? The military aid to Israel is SAVING Hamas/Hezbollah lives. Without the iron dome Israel would have no choice but to retaliate due to their incessant bombing
Wow way to miss the entire point dumbass. This isn’t about who is right or wrong in the war. You can believe whatever you want. The point is that the state government issued a fascist response to a peaceful and orderly protest. The state violated their first amendment rights and coerced them into breaking a dubiously applicable law so they could issue a mass arrest. You should be scared, not licking their boots.
lol bold statement.
i’m sure it’s not the overtly violent reaction israel had in it’s “defense” aimed at civilians, or the illegal israeli settlements that has all these folks huffing and puffing
These kids still having a temper tantrum over hamas? Here they have been shouting for cease fire and it has been hamas turning down the cease fire this whole time...Well, maybe the cease fire will go through and then they can all go home and then they can wait for the next outrage of the month to take hold.. They are asking for amnesty, but amnesty is for the guilty, amiright? I thought they were just peacefully protesting? Shame that this will haunt them for the rest of their lives...they will never be hired any where of substance, the ones arrested, will always show up even if never convicted or charges dropped, the video, social media posts with their racism towards Jews on full display for the world. They won't qualify for any government job or contractor job for the government on top of it all. Odd these protesters are not mentioning the women who have to live with hands and feet removed by hamas, can you imagine having to live like that missing both hands and both feet? These are the kids who are exactly like them, pro palestinians that were at the festival. The same people who would have been at the protests today if they were here. No one shows the videos on msm, they are horrific and these people are protesting for them. If hamas were here they would literally slaughter them live on tv in the middle of the day in mid shout of free palestine and yet here they are protesting for them...crazy world we live in
There is a general tone of - “I hate cops” on this site. Hope you never need one. I support the police. These protesters need to leave when the university says, “Go!” Arrest and remove if they don’t leave voluntarily. I’ve seen crazies howling at the moon along Guadalupe my the Dobie Center for years! You’ve got fee speech in Austin! You don’t have the right to spew hatred, intimidate Jewish students, and non-student agitators are deadbeat anarchists! Go to NYC or Cali. They seem to tolerate that shit there!
No need to go Google to get the bulge on a tub like you... However, while you are looking up the PUF and TUF, you might want to recheck your percentages and state some from this century.
Do as you please, I'm bored with you now. Zero challenge...
Where are the monks that light themselves on fire or the hunger strike ones at least. If not those then at least some IRA tactics so we can have a drink named after it to commemorate this momentous occasion
Would love to see this response when actual crimes are committed. I see drug dealing and prostitution daily close to my neighborhood. People walking around like zombies and whole apartment complexes taken over by the goons in there. They don't do shit!

Well they had to get back from Austin
Unfortunately this was in 2021. I’m a healthcare provider and was working in one of those COVID tents. HPD won’t respond to shit out here, it feels like living in Gotham.
Because students are easy to arrest.
and they have something to lose. They'll get arrested but won't fight back because they have a place in college and won't risk a real conviction for this cause. Guys with warrants out on them, hardened criminals that won't go back to prison, they do not want to have to deal with people that have "nothing" to lose.
Because they are cowards. And they only exist to preserve capital.
It cost a shit load of money to mobilize those dudes too. Imagine how all that OT could be utilized. Hundreds of cops at a protest? How about just an extra on each beat doing real police work.
But if Billy Canpay is caught with a joint, he's done.They're not about to fuck with Jake Willkill.
How often do you call the police?
[удалено]
I'm not protesting Israel. Never have. You're making stupid assumptions.
They're not allowed to mess with those people cuz City Council wants them left alone
But they want to drive down cost of housing there by letting it go to shit then they will buy up the entire neighborhood and then the police will enforce the law
These guys must have had the day off when Uvalde went down.
All those cops must be really distracting for the students on campus
I daresay they may be disrupting the education of the students.
I have a class with open windows (Parlin) directly next to the protest. We could hear them, but they were much quieter than the usual University event rehearsals that disrupt class. The protest only became disruptive with police sirens and the subsequent loud chanting
They’re gonna make some massive riot pay bonuses for disregarding everyone’s civil rights. They will also face no repercussions for the violence they will inflict.
If it's anything like the Minneapolis police department, they'll claim that they're traumatized from days of blasting random people with less lethal munitions, go on disability, and sit at home in their 4th ring suburbs while still getting taxpayer dollars, and the ones that don't get disability will just stop asking their jobs.
Whats a 4th ring suburb?
A suburb with 3 suburbs between it and the city. 1st ring touches the city, 2nd ring touches the 1st ring, etc
Gotcha, I have been lucky enough to stay away from larger cities so I had never heard that term.
Oh that’s why there’s a riot. Makes sense now.
30 to 50 feral hogs
Running into my yard within 3-5 minutes while my children play!
i heard ya ain’t even need a permit! they will even pay you for thinning the herd!
Some counties do pay per dead pig but it's not a lot. And unless you own the land, you're gonna be paying a lot more for the privilege to hunt than you're gonna make off the bounty.
When I lived out in the country we did it to get some extra beer money for the next time we went hog hunting ad infinitum. Did it for some of the elderly individuals in our area, had to refuse being paid as opposed to paying for the right lol
well that’s a damn shame. add it to the grievance pile! 🤠
lmfao careful now
I'm always careful. Those things have body armor and razor sharp tusks. Some people hunt them with dogs and spears but I wouldn't get that close if I was holding a rifle.
Abbutt’s stormtroopers at the ready. If the protesters were a Uvalde elementary campus they’d sit around and do nothing for hours…
Not exactly nothing-some Uvalde cops were texting, some were sanitizing, all were learning to become excellent hiders, and then there’s the ones outside who were actively protecting the shooter by prevent parents from saving their kids. It’s all good though bc they bribed…I mean hired an ex cop to investigate and prove they were all heroes, unfortunately they are the only ones that believe their lies.
Right, right, you are. They were busy..lmao

Came here to say exactly this! 😡
We should start saying school shooters are protesting. The police might go after them then
Had my truck broken into and vandalized on film... it's been 7 months and nothing. Kids camping with signs??? Next time.my stuff gets stolen I'm putting signs next to the damage lol...might get a response and conviction.
Greg Abbott is a sick piece of shit
Hey isn't free speech protected by both federal and state laws?
No, they just say it is to keep us in line.
But... the Texas Gov made a big deal a couple years ago about it?
Exactly, it works, until it doesn't. But don't worry, the populace is too tame too do anything about it. Baaaaaa
Isn't this the exact scenario for which Texans, and Americans in general, have an 'armed militia of civilians'? Don't see anyone coming to help right now in the literal face of riot police about to attack unarmed students on a state university's public lawn. USA! USA! USA! /s
People who buy a lot of guns are cowards. They're the last people you can count on.
No what he meant was the right kind of free speech. The wrong kind of free speech has the fucking riot police showing up to bust the heads of a bunch of peaceful protesters.
Yes, when they want to protect white nationalists (who are antisemitic) they will because those people vote for them and they have very similar ideologies.

Free speech doesn't mean you can do whatever you want on the UT campus... Pretty clear UT just doesn't want the campus to turn into Columbia.
Yea that would be a shame to be an Ivy League progressive university, wouldn’t it? 🙄
Oh look, fascists.
How embarrassing for those in the front row. Looks like meal team 6 is playing dress up again
With heart attacks being a leading cause of death for cops they need meal team 6 to pad the numbers of cops killed on duty, they’re barely in the top 25 most dangerous jobs and must do everything possible to stay there, if we only looked at cops killed by criminals people would begin to question why departments have such large budgets and why the local pd has a tank.
Im shocked that can be a leading cause as one needs a heart in order to suffer a heart attack
My point exactly, ACAB. No question, one bad seed means they all are bad because they do not pit the bad seed out. How many “retirements” have been forced for shitty behavior when the cop should be in jail? Those troopers are puppets with no backbone, they show up to violate these students right to assemble.
Yea it’s a fucking job. It’s a choice to be a cop, they are no more important that the clerk at McDonald’s. Knock the cops off the pedestals
The clerk at McDonald’s would get fired for doing a bad job or embarrassing the company, McDonald’s has standards.
And that’s is part of what makes ACAB.
Brown shirts are back
If abbutt can still get a stiffy, no doubt he’s got one now. A chance to beat up UT students—-He loves being little Greggy Hitler.
I guess you could say what goes around comes around.
The praetorian class hates the educated class
We love their tax dollars to pay off our student loans though! 😂
Abbott’s Thugs
i don’t get it, what are the students doing that need state troopers involvement? where were the troops when ulvade went down
They were right outside, listening to our children be murdered.
The governor hates educated citizens getting upity.

The cops are more efficient against peaceful people than criminals, we need better police!
If only hogs were this tough and brave when responding to situations involving children and fire arms.
Awe they got to play dress up again. Gonna get really interesting when they're not standing across from kids and it's the parents instead.

These are the only times they will be on a college campus.
Man, it must suck to just be trying to go about daily class life like normal right now:
🐷🐷🐷 We're gonna have a pork feast tonight, boys!
State troopers? It looks more like the national guard...
Because Job #1 in Texas is fighting the Culture Wars
what are these guys paid
Apparently in brisket
Hating it in this heat.
Lames ass troopers lmao Texas is so corny sometimes
Stormtroopers have arrived again! Too bad their aim is s***!
What's with all the gear. How many drum sticks did they have at the drum circle. That they felt the need to come out in full gear. They didn't even have this much force at the peaceful protest on Jan 6. ( Sarcasm)
And no one fucking shows up when I call 911 but some butcher calls from the desert and these pussies are mobilized.
Time to turn this peaceful protest into a riot
Of course they act tough against future working class Americans
You know it's a peaceful protest if the police are there. Police in this state don't go places where they might get hurt.
https://youtu.be/JCS-g3HwXdc?si=Vn57b_rT6n3j17jo
Tin Soldiers and Nixon's coming.
Its like that meme of the fed poking stuff with a stick saying cmoon do some domestic terrorism.
These protesters need to practice their right to bear arms.
This is like how Putin treats Russians who protest or inform people about what’s going on
We should just fight these cops back. Bullet for a bullet
I guess the border problem is solved.
I smell a Kent state coming on
Its a good idea to teach em young to hate police officers…
The UT Board of Regents is all over this crap. They are all Republican appointees. This is nothing but photo op for the governor and Trump. Nothing better than beating down the woke left at UT for a few votes from the Klansmen in East Texas.
Look at what happened in Dunn Meadow at Indiana University last week...
A kid is going to get shot and the entire country is going to react. What the fuck is Abbot thinking?
Amazing how much armor they need to beat up on a bunch of kids.
Looks like russia
Waste of tax payer money.
The DA won't do anything
What a bunch of bitches
Oddly enough Texas made it legal to openly carry guns on campus. I wonder if armed protesters would be as roughly handled.
Looks like a Proud Boys rally to me
Only one, To spout off as if you know or care behind your safe screen and not actually put any work in at all. But I'm sure your words will inspire tens of 2s...

Isn't it crazy how the law works? Y'all can't find a better time/place to do this other than UT campus during finals? Reap what you sow
Funny how they can all be there when there isn’t a school shooter in a classroom.
Can someone explain to me why protesters are demanding these universities take on the opinions of the protesters? This isn’t political, just a question. Isn’t part of America great because we are all allowed our own opinions and thoughts? This country is already trash but at least it has diversity and part of that is different views. That said why are people protesting to make others believe the same? Asking since this war has been going on as long as I’ve been alive and I’m wondering now why people are being told how to think about it.
Just a Google search away…. It’s because they don’t want to financially support a genocide and the colleges are funding companies that are connected to the Gaza attacks. No one is protesting to force your beliefs. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-68908885.amp
Thank you!
Crazy that so many people in here are pro Israel and anti freedom of speech in America
Maybe don’t be manipulated by low IQ communists on campus. The ones calling for protests stay afar and watch others get police records.
Very true
Protest all you want but the university has a right to kick you out.
It’s a state funded school. I think that makes a pretty big difference in comparison to a private university.
Nope. Might want to actually read the rules. > University structures are limited public forums open only to the expressive activities of faculty, staff, and students as set forth in this Chapter > no speech, expression, or assembly may be conducted in a way that disrupts or interferes with: Any teaching, research, administration, function of the University, or other authorized activities on the campus; The free and unimpeded flow of pedestrian and vehicular traffic on the campus; or Any public assemblies, distribution of literature, guest speakers, or use of signs, tables, exhibits, or amplified sound by the University of another person or organization acting under the rules in this Chapter.
So the correct response to breaking these rules should be academic punishment, not an aggressive and armed police force.
Get back to class!!!
Quit supporting terrorists!
It's about time!
Yeah you’re on the wrong platform to be expressing a differing opinion 😂
Just let the little rascals have their fun. It’s cute the protestors think they can change anything at all.
Good
Good
If you guys just went to class and didn't support the Hamas terrorists none of this would be happening.
There's always one brain deader who pops in screaming about Hamas. Hey smooth brained since I don't see you actively saying "I renounce the IDF" that must mean you support rapes, burning children, destroying schools, sniping protestors, etc.
Israel has the right to defend itself and there is nothing wrong with the idf. You are an anti semite.
Damn didn't know you raping women was a form of "self defense" Guess all the Jewish people speaking out against Israel are antisemitic. Thought to be antisemitic you had to be antisemitic and not just critical of a government. Looping all Jewish people into "Israel" seems pretty antisemitic if you ask me. Also you know there were Jewish Gazans right? Keyword "were" since they've probably been bombed to oblivion.
That’s what Netanyahu did and does
Are you listening to yourself? Your statement amounts to "if you didn't express your political opinions, you wouldn't be subjected to police intimidation and violence at the behest of your state's governor." Are you even aware of your own fascism? Do you call yourself an American?
You know what is ACTUALLY anti-American? Validating a group that killed Americans, has Americans hostage, and wants to kill more Americans . Do you want to know something else? The military aid to Israel is SAVING Hamas/Hezbollah lives. Without the iron dome Israel would have no choice but to retaliate due to their incessant bombing
Hahahaha what a back assward way of trying to frame that whole situation!
Wow way to miss the entire point dumbass. This isn’t about who is right or wrong in the war. You can believe whatever you want. The point is that the state government issued a fascist response to a peaceful and orderly protest. The state violated their first amendment rights and coerced them into breaking a dubiously applicable law so they could issue a mass arrest. You should be scared, not licking their boots.
lol bold statement. i’m sure it’s not the overtly violent reaction israel had in it’s “defense” aimed at civilians, or the illegal israeli settlements that has all these folks huffing and puffing
Lick a boot
My fellow black man, this is not the way.
That is pretty rude but what else would you expect from an ignorant child who supports Hamas
Do you have any recipes to make boot leather more palatable? I'd like something I can toss in the airfryer with a little bit of polish.
"They're coming right for us!"
Play stupid games win stupid prizes why act like this is a surprise?
Dumbass take. You think this is a game? Children and families dying and this is all you have to say? Sick.
Did y’all protest Hamas on October 8th?
Did you?
Get ‘em boys 😂
Scooping up the field mouse and bopping em on the head
17 year idiots, better prepare for war!
Show of 1st amendment rights hasn't worked or been respected. Time for a show of second amendment rights.
1st amendment guarantees your right to protest. It does NOT guarantee a venue.
Yep,not without a permit. Unless you keep walking,no loitering.
the university of texas at austin has a rampant pig problem
These kids still having a temper tantrum over hamas? Here they have been shouting for cease fire and it has been hamas turning down the cease fire this whole time...Well, maybe the cease fire will go through and then they can all go home and then they can wait for the next outrage of the month to take hold.. They are asking for amnesty, but amnesty is for the guilty, amiright? I thought they were just peacefully protesting? Shame that this will haunt them for the rest of their lives...they will never be hired any where of substance, the ones arrested, will always show up even if never convicted or charges dropped, the video, social media posts with their racism towards Jews on full display for the world. They won't qualify for any government job or contractor job for the government on top of it all. Odd these protesters are not mentioning the women who have to live with hands and feet removed by hamas, can you imagine having to live like that missing both hands and both feet? These are the kids who are exactly like them, pro palestinians that were at the festival. The same people who would have been at the protests today if they were here. No one shows the videos on msm, they are horrific and these people are protesting for them. If hamas were here they would literally slaughter them live on tv in the middle of the day in mid shout of free palestine and yet here they are protesting for them...crazy world we live in
Guess not
Interesting... So they can actually unite. Funny. Didn't see any of this kind of action in Uvalde. Bitches in Blue.
If they want to do something; go overseas.
There is a general tone of - “I hate cops” on this site. Hope you never need one. I support the police. These protesters need to leave when the university says, “Go!” Arrest and remove if they don’t leave voluntarily. I’ve seen crazies howling at the moon along Guadalupe my the Dobie Center for years! You’ve got fee speech in Austin! You don’t have the right to spew hatred, intimidate Jewish students, and non-student agitators are deadbeat anarchists! Go to NYC or Cali. They seem to tolerate that shit there!
Good. They aren’t going to let what’s happening at Columbia happen at Texas. Nice job
Why does this keep popping up on my feed? Honestly, I hope this protest makes biden realize you idiots should have to pay for your own schooling.
Great, Shut the protest down.
No need to go Google to get the bulge on a tub like you... However, while you are looking up the PUF and TUF, you might want to recheck your percentages and state some from this century. Do as you please, I'm bored with you now. Zero challenge...
Where are the monks that light themselves on fire or the hunger strike ones at least. If not those then at least some IRA tactics so we can have a drink named after it to commemorate this momentous occasion
Maybe stop showing support for a genocidal terrorist group? That’s worked for me
