Not a particularly huge surprise that young people have strong opinions and are highly emotional and tend to think that their cause is the most important cause, and that they know something that everyone else does not. To try to paint this as somehow exceptional is kinda silly.
Regardless of which side of the fence they are on in any case it's encouraging that someone, somewhere is actually taking an interest in the future of this country, as opposed to spending every waking minute entranced by electronic toys. Or drinking. Or partying.
I think the point people are trying to make, and correct me if I'm wrong, how in the world does one know who is guilty and who is not...
in this country your innocent until proven guilty? It's all about the power they want, so they whine and cry b/c they don't want a republican in there....and blame him b/c they fear someone else having that power....and that's what it's all about, simple.
I was raised by people who believe that the earth is 10,000 years old and that humans were once immortal until a talking snake tricked them with a piece of fruit.
Then I went to college and learned math and science.
One of the things you learn in college is that extreme outliers are not a good way of determining the mean. Applied to this case, one woman burning her bra is not indicative of the norm.

Reason: autocorrect snafu
I don't know if that's actually true. It's just that there are enough of the disturbed, spoiled irrational kind, and they get all the publicity. The rational people studying in the library for their engineering finals hardly get the same coverage.
Now, if you made the statement "Rational Professors are rare in Liberal Arts fields"-I think you'd make a better case.
This. I work with college kids. The engineering and business kids mostly do not hang out with the political crazies. Thermodynamics is hard, ranting takes away from time not failing thermodynamics. They are not in the habit of kamikaze runs against SJW unmovable walls of crazy so they ignore it and work toward graduating.
Hmmmm...
Let's see, what can those children be charged with?
1. Littering
2. Public profanity
3. Inciting to riot (?)
4. Creating a public disturbance
5. Other violations of the law, depending on the local laws and college rules
How many were arrested?
None?
Ya think maybe that's why they think (know) they can do this stuff without fear of repercussions?

Nobody got hurt. Sheesh. Students on college campuses disagree on all sorts of political issues. Tearing up a sign and yelling at each other about politics is hardly a pearl-clutching moment.
Do I disagree with ripping up a sign? Sure. I wouldn't do it myself, even if I did disagree with it, unless someone was waving it in my face and chanting at me while I tried to walk to class.
But, over to the side, minding their own business? The logical thing is to let them be.
Teenagers aren't always logical.
