It's getting disturbing that so many young people think they can commit crimes as long as it is done in the name of protest

Big fat negative, they get brainwashed by their TikTok and assume they have this "right"?? They might want to study Dr. Martin Luther King.

Look through or history look at Samuel l. Jackson. It’s not new and in the majority of cases the young people have stood on the right side of history.

@@GordyThomas Misguided? We are talking about 75 years of death and oppression but sure keep talking about October 7th. And why are we talking about the people who attended the Student Lead Protest. The mayors narrative is intentionally misleading the public’s perception of the student protests.

Throwing around the shock and awe term "genocide" around only waters it down from what it actually means. Much like racism. A quarter of the Israeli population is Arab, they're pretty bad at genocide if that's what they're doing.
