Students tend to occupy buildings and in many other countries the police can't even enter the premises. Not in the US but it needs a careful approach especially when the students protest against the war. It's common to be called trouble makers, anarchists, communists. Many of them are and are very proud of it, they don't hide it. You want to be against the establishment when you are young and against war. You want to be on the side of the weak. You know what I mean?
I participated in the Peace Movement that played a part in ending the Vietnam War whether it's admitted or not. That was entirely different. We were not siding with terrorists. Siding with Hamas is the opposite of a peace movement. We have a serious problem here with so many of our nations young adults siding with genocidal terrorists. No thinking person is buying the lie that they are not antisemitic and it's clear they are.
To me it always read as strange that people like Hitler and Mao so easily recruited the youth of their counties into their insanity. Now it's happening here.
I learned there were very few authentic war protesters even in the late 60s, early 70s. Many if not most were about being a part of a fad and in all honesty were there for the thrill. It was very different then. In most cases it was polite and those who wanted to get through to go to classes were met with no resistance. After all violence has no place in an actual peace movement.
