    So, what do the Universities do? Just let them stay there as long as they want?

      I mean, Lemmy lets you stay even though you are annoying as fuck, and nobody brutalizes you for sharing your viewpoints (psychotic as they may be). Perhaps you could put that shoe on the other foot if you could first pull it out of your mouth.

        Is this a joke? I’m probably the ONLY person on this entire site that leans Right, and I’ve been called every name in the book for my opinions because they don’t align with the Left…

      As long as they’re peaceful, then pretty much, yes. A state university where the land is publicly owned (government “owned” property), it sounds like they were exercising their rights to assemble, speak, and petition the government…

        But they weren’t peaceful, that’s the issue. The whole reason the university went in was because the protestors were putting other students at risk, more specifically, Jewish students.

          From what I’ve heard since then, there was some vandalism / breaking and entering going on. I haven’t heard about any violence directed at people, but if they’re breaking into buildings, it is reasonable to stop them. If they were all just peacefully (meaning non-violent, not necessarily quiet) camped out on the quad, then I would say the govt had do right to remove them.
