The bill passed 320-91. In addition to the bill, GOP Representatives supported the deployment of the National Guard to stop the protests.

    Your chain of causality is that criminal acts occurred, and the police responded in force. So I’m asking again, they broke into a building on every campus?

    Theoretically, if no criminal acts occurred, then would the police would have allowed the protests to continue?

      You’re throwing hypotheticals out there. I have no idea. It’s a weird knee jerk response. I remember my grandmother (RIP), upon hearing about a bad car crash in her area immediately saying,“It was probably drugs.” I suggested it may have been a medical issue, or you know, just an accident.

      You have to remember, there were far more arrests during the Vietnam protests, and we can’t forget that the National Guard actually opened fire on protesters.

      And finally, hell, getting arrested at protests is kind of a rite of passage, isn’t it? It was when I was going, but that is a long, long time ago.

        I used your reasoning and continued it, if your rationale is that they broke into buildings and the police had to respond, I’m curious how you rationalize the peaceful protests where the police beat people.

        That’s all. Also, sorry I was a cunt. I had a shit day and realize I’m taking it out on you, that’s on me and I apologize.

        Have a nice morning/day/evening/whatever.

          No worries man. Hey, if nothing was getting vandalized, fellow students aren’t being threatened, etc., then it’s an obvious 1st amendment issue. I have zero love for the police. I’ll see if I can top your day. I had to drive completely through LA, twice. I fucking hate driving through LA. Sorry back at you if I pissed you off. I’m high as hell when I’m on here and most of the time I don’t remember what I even wrote.
