    I want the innocent civilian hostages held by Hamas released. Until they release them then Hamas is the bad guys. It ain't complicated which side to be on.

    That's nonsense! Clear indication that you don't know what "morals" means. Completely different topic, though.

    But let me just say one thing: people with no emotions have no sense of morals. They are psychopaths. Emotions are indispensable in adopting moral principles.

    Anyway... too far off-topic.

    Except the ones shot were not protesters. You have no idea the huge impact this had

    Yep! Was part of the “flower power” revolution myself.

    Bottom line - if you send troops into what was a peaceful demonstration it will cause an escalation to violence. THAT is the “manual” that Beau refers to.

    I have zero doubt in my mind that the BLM protests would have fizzled had they been treated correctly in the first place.

    It is complicated due to the fact there has been horrific impact on the innocent people of Gaza and because of that we need to handle protests with empathy or we WILL see bloodshed

    The National Guard isn't necessary in my opinion. Watching these live protest streams I keep hearing the kids chant stuff like "we don't see no riot here why are you in riot gear?" Also picking at the cops saying stuff like "we're just a bunch of kids, we're like 19 years old what do you think we can do why are you guys here".

    Sounds to me like even the kids themselves know they are no match for the actual adult men in uniform if push came to shove. If the cops wanted to clear them out they would and most certainly could. We of course know exactly why the cops are there and exactly what a bunch of rowdy teenagers are capable of hence why the cops are in riot gear. But the game is of course to poke at the cops while feigning innocence to be able to claim to be the victim when the cops actually do something about it. I for one am enjoying the spectacle on live stream. Let them protest and shut the colleges down, these places are doing way more harm than good to our youth anyway.

    You didn’t read the extract form Amnesty international I posted did you? Police presence often incites rioters to more violence.

    I agree, cops go away and let the kids have the place if they want. If the college has a problem with it then they can expel the students who refuse to not be disruptive then call the cops back and have them removed for trespassing. If the college is cool with the kids protesting and disrupting the normal academic schedule then the cops should let it be. Especially these private universities. Now if the colleges do allow the protestors to shut the campus down then the college should be forced by law to refund the tuition of every student not actively participating in the protest for not allowing them the in person education that they paid for.

    Mike Johnson is such a flaming pile of :icon_shithappens:.

    With each passing day he becomes more of a clown.

    no one cares about Hamas.. it's the innocent Gazans that people are worried about, starving them to death is not the answer

    But people with no emotions are not unable to understand rule of law, morality and justice. Why? Because it’s based on rational thinking, not emotions to which they have none.

    you nuked your own argument

    He is not the only one covering it many have been covering it

    The fact is that this entire protest at universityies nation wide is organized and led by communists. They do not give a rats ass about Palestinians or Israel. Just as they do not give a **** about trans people or racial minorities. They do however exploit these various movements to disrupt and undermine the system so they can destroy capitalism. Which they define as any and all private property.

    They WANT a repeat of the Kent state shootings and are sexually aroused by the idea of the national guard being called in and inflicting some casualties.

    With a litte luck law enforcement will handle this **** with no deaths or injuries. If the protestors get what they want they will follow up with a
    summer of rioting greater than 2020

    Please note the fact is that riots stop when they become to damn dangerous for the rioters to pursue. Lincoln ended the NYC draft riots by the simple expedient of send the second division straight from Gettysburg. The bonus riots of the early 1900's went the same way. Napoleon is Thought to have said something along the lines of, their is nothing like a whiff of grape shot to disperse a mob.

    thread winner. Reporters have asked the air head students attending these protests about their reasons and most of them look like they were lobotomy victims. They haven't a clue

    I don’t know about others but it is delightful to watch the disintegration of the right

    If Hakeem Jeffries was speaker, the exact same bills would have been brought to the floor and passed. SO what's the ****ing difference between Johnson and Jeffries? Not a damn thing. He's probably a pedo and one of the alphabet agencies is hanging it over his head. He flipped awfully fast for some reason.
    Let'm burn to the ground. 1/2 of the so-called Republicans are Democrats or they are so corrupt, they're just as easily bought as Democrats. Either way, I'm fine with disintegration if the RINOs can be flushed.
