    The ignorance of America's youth. We have seen this for generations. Let me join in just because my friends are joining in. They have zero understand of the global and political ramifications of what they are protesting. They think, let them hear my voice. Twenty years from now, some will celebrate their actions and some will say why did I do that or I wish I hadn't.

    In this instance, peaceful protests have turned to criminal riots driven by hatred and violence against others. Simple fact is, all of these people should be charged with the violation of federal hate crimes.

    Where is law enforcement? The liberal left is letting this happen!

    And for anyone who wants to argue:

    The Department of Justice enforces federal hate crimes laws that cover certain crimes committed on the basis of race, color, religion, national origin, sexual orientation, gender, gender identity, or disability. The Department of Justice began prosecuting federal hate crimes cases after the enactment of the Civil Rights Act of 1968.

    I can see those that protest the treatment of innocent Gazians

    but seems the pro-Hamas folks are using these protests to advance their cause as well, they are going over the line, they want to push hate, not peace

    The Civil Rights Act of 1968?

    And you’re lecturing us about the ignorance of youth!

    It's absolutely true. The rioters are chanting Hamas slogans and calling for the murder of Jews. You won't be able to ignore it any longer.

    But for God's sake, do not shoot dead any unarmed females. We've had enough unarmed dead women from another protest.

    I agree. These student protestors and the Jan 6th rioters are mentally defective morons who let nothing but emotion and a desire to belong to something drive their actions, they probably can't even help themselves.

    No, they're not. I think these protestors are morons, but being against the way Israel is treating Palestinian civilians does not mean you are Pro-Hamas. This is a dumb rationale, and actually one of the things the right always accuses the left of doing i.e. if you're not totally with us, you're totally against us.

    Atta boy, make up false stuff just so you can demonize those with whom you don't agree.

    We all know righties love nothing better than to imprison, torture and slaughter minorities, foreigners, and muslims in then name of defense and peace.
    Have at it.

    It's no surprise you continue to make up and post false statements.

    Quote me defending the pro-terrorist protestors.

    I think some are we'll find out eventually, the rhetoric and antisemetic chanting has gone on and on and at some point you have and need to answer for that.

    I just saw Mayor adams live press conference, wow! This guy literally praised America, praised the police for removing terrorist flags and replacing with the American flag. He went on about how we're still America and the best country on earth and you will not be trampling on us. How pro America, god hopefully Biden was taking notes, what a refreshing take from a democrat.

    And the right is quiet about Biden announcing this week that he is opening our doors to Palestinian refugees. This looks like it is going to be the big one and we will be providing free housing to all of them. This is exactly what I predicted at the beginning of this war. This was Israel's objective and it looks like they will get it. America will take in Muslims so dangerous that other Muslim nations will not take them in. Even Muslim leaders are better that crap we have leading America.
