[@gavinrollot6426]

As a PSU student, it saddens me greatly to see the library in shambles. I've built up some good memories with my classmates and teachers during my stay and hope to continue to do so. However, such acts of cowardice appall me. I fail to see the correlation between their "free Palestine" message and their brutal vandalism on an innocent learning ground. While the situation in Palestine is undeniably horrific, responding with more violence will only perpetuate hate rather than help remedy it. I remember a couple of months ago a peaceful protest was held near the Recreation Center at PSU. There was no barbarism whatsoever. Instead, everybody stood around a Palestinian speaker. I don't remember what he said but I do remember his face. It was sour as a newborn grape, and I could feel the pain behind his eyes. The protestors were awesome too. They all stood in solidarity carrying their flags and cardboards with words like "we all share the same Earth" and, of course, "free Palestine". THIS is a protest. The message they were sending was not "f da police" but rather that "the siege on Palestine is deeply traumatizing us so we want it to stop in order to prevent the killings of innocent children". TLDR: This situation makes me really sad. I want these protestors to band together and make a legitimate movement for change rather than being chaotic and stupid.

[@bradmoyer9737]

[@incurableromantic4006]

This is what happens when there are never any charges, and never any consequences.

[@crushedorchids]

I'll never understand destroying your own resources for a protest. That's like burning down your own house to protest homelessness. The ungratefulness and stupidity of destroying a place of learning is so gross. Like, check your privilege bruh. I'd say that's first world behavior but their buddies in hamas do the same thing.

[@michaelpond6386]

All good questions about timing. Did they shut the power and water to that building off ? The police need to plan for mass arrests not just clearing the building. The campus should be off limits to non students. The streets and park blocks should be controlled until the situation abates.

Thanks Michelle! now that you put your 2 sense in The Police will know what to do now after your comment....you TooL

[@luisostasuc8135]

There are plenty of good places to protest (the areas where the point is to spend money, perhaps), but desecrating a library is the kind of activity that fascists engage in. Hell, there are researchers in Gaza who are pointing out the reality of educide, or purposeful destruction of places of learning, that the IDF is perpetrating. But that's just a whole lot of words to say that these protestors are in particular are ignorant of what their actions are saying about their intentions.

For sided official's maybe it was crime. Hence, for the students just a protest, I am sure the law makers knows better. Instead of force for violence thus people, better create a dialogue to understand that their ideology of why doing this protesting was. The dry yeastless facts, american officials who in crime around the world, students protesting makes them probably having more fear, if its get bigger :) Thanks students (ogrenci insanlari tahminim polis donuna etti ayni Gezi parki taksim gibi, sizin cia sefiniz orta doguda hayat durdu, yaprak kipirdamiyor demis di :) sueda polat kocaman Kucak dolusu sevgiler, amerikada democrat birileri varmis hissettik, dedi..
