So they do thousands of dollars of damage to the library and thats peaceful?

[@mokulashi]

its peaceful according to how US/American supported Hong Kong riot , its a beautiful sight to behold

[@nyxboi427]

Oh no! Property damage? That's the last straw, we have to stop these student protesting babies from being turned into mist by a genocidal government while we pay for it! Totally the biggest issue!

[@jsward96]

Well more than thousands.

[@gjames7798]

Up to an estimated $750,000 give or take $100k according to another report!

The Governor stated that vandalism and destruction are unacceptable… but that’s not true. Show us some consequences for protestors’ criminal behavior.

[@freeknet2000]

Nobody cares what Kotek says, she is an imbecile. We need the entire government in Portland replaced with competent people. We are all tired of this circus, expect it to get worse, since they just don't care what the taxpayers say. All this unrest is what happens when you take and take, and give nothing back.

Misspelled riots

[@joeypollack5651]

ironically when I was in college there were literally more protests than I can count, all of which were PEACEFUL. not once did the college have the need to cancel classes, no one got blocked from going places, and nothing was vandalized defaced or destroyed. I cannot walk into the PSU library and I hold an advanced degree. Which is fine, but the point is how did these people get in?

[@ThePapasmurf1946]

That, sir, would require actual journalists to do actual research and present actual reporting on exactly what happened this week. There is little chance of that happening.

[@rdkuless]

You don't ask the PSU admin to call for a cease fire in a foreign country.. You contact the WH and tell little joeyB to do that.. You are directing your anger at the wrong people.. I thought PSU had educated students with college level communication skills.. Not sheeple..

This city has enough problems that actually need solving. Also, can we just talk about the antisemitic tones this kind of crap conveys? I wouldn't be surprised if zero of these folks get charged with anything. This city is exhausting.

“Americans don't want to know and many Israelis don't want to know what is going on inside Palestine. It's a terrible human rights persecution that far transcends what any outsider would imagine, and there are powerful political forces in America that prevent any objective analysis.” “The word apartheid is exactly accurate... So within Palestinian territory they are absolutely and totally separated, much worse than they were in South Africa by the way.” “I would say that in many ways the treatment of the Palestinians by the Israeli occupying forces is as onerous - and in some cases more onerous - as the treatment of black people in South Africa by the apartheid government” Jimmy Carter

There is a definite solidarity and connectivity between LandBack, FreeGaza, and various other anti-colonial movements yet they acted like they didn't understand who all these protestors were. They intimated without evidence that the movement was taken from students and was being hijacked. That is a lie.
