Columbia University and other schools have taken steps to try to address students' concerns over safety and freedom of expression. Follow for live news updates.
That’s not actually true, Vietnam Anti-War protests used encampments all the time. By camping instead of marching you allow more people to join the protest and it becomes more flexible. You don’t need to stay the entire time if you need to go to work or something. Camping as a form of protest goes back to at least the Bonus Army in the 1930’s. And in the Vietnam era the Mall in D.C. was camped on by thousands of people several times.
Yeah, he’s the classic boomer model of “my point is whatever makes me correct at this immediate moment”. Check his comment history for a laugh, he gives people grief for doing the same things he’s doing here. No self awareness or integrity whatsoever.
I don’t think you understand what anecdotal evidence means. One person seeing something repeatedly is still anecdotal and of similarly little value when making statements about broader trends.
You didn’t link or even reference this media coverage that specifically supports your assertion so yes, for your comment and even this one, the observation is still solely yours. We’re not mind readers, we don’t know what you’re not telling us and, in case you ask, no, we’re not going to look it up for you. If you don’t provide evidence, people online generally assume you’re making it up, and rightfully so.
Okay so you participated more in marches than encampments. Good for you. But before you say all you see are threats to Jewish Americans, think back to what you were accused of, and google Jews for Peace. You’ll find they’re active in these protests. Which would be kind of weird if they were in danger from their fellow protestors? Media is making it seem like these are radicals in the same way they vilified the students protesting Vietnam.
And the 1930’s Bonus Army wasn’t homeless people. It was World War 1 veterans demanding their pay.

A boomer thinks their anecdotal experience is indicative of anything beyond their own experience? Shocking.
/s
Suddenly so many of their comments make sense

I wonder if they will ever accept that israel constantly lies and shouldn’t ever be trusted without extensive investigation.

That’s a lot of deflection when you could have just said “I am unable to address anything you wrote” and saved so much time.

What’s funny is how you call someone a coward elsewhere for doing the same. I guess it takes one to know one.
