When you are young and ignorant it is easy to be influenced by professors and current events. These people are college students who have not yet achieved the ability to think critically. They are high school students who believe that since they borrowed money to attend college they are intelligent. They have never had to work, they have never had to support themselves, and have never really thought much about reality. They live in a socialist state of mind and think they will receive brownie points for being so "aware".
In my opinion, they should be allowed to get this B.S. out of their system but NOBODY should take their actions as seriously. Until they have to live in the real world their opinions are worthless. Yes, the police should move in when they are violating laws. The police should crack a few skulls when they resist. Maybe when they hit 30 they will realize that a bleeding heart doesn't matter and they have to put food on the table it isn't a perfect world. Maybe they will understand that when a country is attacked and its citizens are murdered the appropriate response is to retaliate. They are like puppies biting and nipping; too inexperienced to understand what they are doing.
Remember the anti-war protests of the late 1960s/early 1970s/
Those participants got federal jobs and worked their way up through the ranks to policy making levels while maintaining their ideology. Now, look around and start toting up some of the more misguided policies adopted over the last couple or three decades.
Guess what the veterans of these protests will do once they're out of their elite universities, where so many upper level bureaucrats originate, and get their government jobs.
If they were just protesting, it would be different. But they're "occupying", like the dolts in Portland did. They can protest peacefully all they want, but cannot destroy property or try to take over things that are not theirs. They're idealistic, not realistic, and are almost certainly being affected, maybe even brainwashed, by professional agitators.
Are we talking about CHAZ/CHOP? I think that was a different liberal hellhole, Seatlle.
Ill bet they didn't pay any property taxes/rent during their occupation either
College kids are idiots. I can say that because I was one once. They are still kids and easily influenced. Protesting is the cool thing to do.
But protesting and supporting Palestine is supporting terrorists. The same ones that chant "death to America". That is nuts.
I truly think that college students make up the minority of the protestors, and most of the college students that are protesting don't truly understand what they re protesting for.

Hasn't it been reported that most of these protesters are either school faculty or people who aren't even enrolled there?
Yes, there are simps going to these schools, who are being turned into mindless anarchist communists, but I'm hoping it's the minority of the student body.
Yes, we should all be concerned about these easily led and easily manipulated kids. These kids are the future movers and shakers. They are going to top schools and will eventually enter the world to influence business and some will go into politics.
Can we really blame these do goody punks? They have been handed trophies all their lives and left to think that their feelings are all they need to succeed. They have been told what to do and when to do it while living in a bubble of socialism, save the planet, capitalism is evil, social justice, equity for all, DEI and lately if you can be whatever or whomever you want to be gender wise nonsense.
They are confused and casting about for their own identities when the greatest problem they face is that they have too much safe leisure time on their hands to think and react.
I wonder how many "students" would stick around for the protests and occupations IF they happened at the start of Summer break?
I don't think anyone cares if students got together, marched around, put up a stage and gave some speeches, and went home.
What they can't do is occupy spaces indefinitely and prevent other students from going where they need to go.
What they can't do is put up tents and trash the yards
What they can't do is break into buildings and do real damage.
I want to see these students painting and cleaning up all the damage and graffiti. At their cost.
