Quote:Police take multiple protesters into custody on Emory University’s campusBy WSBTV.com News StaffApril 25, 2024 at 12:06 pm EDTPolice take multiple protesters into custody on Emory University’s campusATLANTA — Police have taken several protesters in custody on Emory University’s campus.
NewsChopper 2 flew over the scene where there is a large police presence. Channel 2′s Tom Regan spotted multiple Atlanta police officers, Emory campus police officers and Georgia State Patrol troopers responding to the protests.
It’s unclear how many people are in custody and if they are being charged.
Emory University issued the following statement:
“Several dozen protesters trespassed onto Emory University Campus early Thursday morning and set up tents on the quad. These individuals are not members of our community. They are activists attempting to disrupt our university as students finish classes and prepare for finals. Emory does not tolerate vandalism or any criminal activity on campus.”

You know better.

Leave that stuff on ATS.  Don't bring it here.  If you want to respond, then I'm happy to discuss.  But leave name-calling on ATS.

Quote:George Soros and Rockefeller foundations paying students of US colleges who are arranging nationwide protestsTwo major American philanthropic foundations, Rockefeller and Soros, are backing a group that pays certain activists. These protestors are disrupting college campuses across the country, WSJ reported.
The anti-Israel demonstrations initially erupted when students occupied Columbia University’s Morningside Heights campus lawn last week, now spreading across the nation.
Copycat tent encampments have emerged at various colleges, such as Harvard, Yale, Berkeley in California, Ohio State University, and Emory in Georgia. All were arranged by branches of the Soros-backed Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP), resulting in clashes with law enforcement at some locations.
At three colleges, protests are being fueled by paid radicals who are fellows of a Soros-funded group called the US Campaign for Palestinian Rights (USCPR).
The USCPR offers community-based fellows up to $7,800 and campus-based fellows between $2,880 and $3,660 to dedicate eight hours a week to organizing campaigns led by Palestinian organizations. They’re taught to “rise up, to revolution.”
This radical group has received over $300,000 from Soros’ Open Society Foundations since 2017 and $355,000 from the Rockefeller Brothers Fund since 2019. The SJP’s main organization has been financially supported by a network of nonprofits ultimately backed by Soros and other left-wing investors.

George Soros is paying student radicals who are fueling nationwide explosion of Israel-hating protests

Quote:George Soros and his hard-left acolytes are paying agitators who are fueling the explosion of radical anti-Israel protests at colleges across the country.
The protests, which began when students took over Columbia University’s Morningside Heights campus lawn last week, have mushroomed nationwide.
Copycat tent cities have been set up at colleges including Harvard, Yale, Berkeley in California, the Ohio State University and Emory in Georgia — all of them organized by branches of the Soros-funded Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) — and at some, students have clashed with police.

We had to travel in civilian clothes to avoid people attacking us.

It was a wonderful time.

But remember, we had a draft and people were protesting that.

People are now advocating for terrorist organizations.

I like most of the peace protestors registered willingly and most of us walked away during the time when the violent groups started to form. Remember we were kids dealing with watching the nightly body counts on the news every night and watching friends and loved ones come home in body bags. The group I aligned with were for peace, but we were not against those who served. In my community we welcomed people back and honored them.

I think we are seeing the same here and now at the universities. Most kids, and they are kids, are protesting for good reasons, but it's the few instigators and those driven by violence who get all the attention. Most of those kids don't have clue other than its popular to protest.

Thank you so much for your service.
