    Students need to sue these colleges and administrators who allowed danger onto the campuses, as well a tuition refunds. ******************************************************

    It was violent way before the police showed up. This is bad reporting.

    There would be no humanitarian tragedy in gaza if their muslim brothers , the Egyptians open their border. Why doesn’t anybody point the finger to the Egyptians? Haven’t seen one protest in front of Egyptian embassy across United States.

    On a positive note everyone has forgotten about the migrant crisis! Isn't politics great

    Accountability..... Play by the rules or get expelled.... Not a student ??? Criminal trespassing...... Easy, Peasy......

    Nice work keeping things peaceful. Just like violence isn’t tolerated on campus it shouldn’t be tolerated elsewhere. Shouldn’t be too difficult to understand.

    History will once again prove you wrong.
  • Once the physical disagreements start it is often appropriate to deescalate by separation! This is very touchy and has explosive possibilities !

    to no one surprise especially my own, the "expert" happens to be someone who used to be in law enforcement themselves lol.
  • What exactly did the students expect the colleges to do about this? The deans to go tell Israel off so hard it ended the war?? That isn’t realistic at all and it makes no sense!
  • Let this be a lesson where you send your kids to college. If the police are not allowed on the campus don't send your kids to that college.

    No need for encampment , go down to public streets and put an official request to the mayor for peaceful demonstration and protection from the other side intruders and let us see how the mayor will respond. Let us see if the 1st Amendment and human rights are something real!
