     @KatM @DrALJONES @Mary625 In the end it doesn't matter. I see what you mean regarding their brazen tactics and confidence that the police wouldn't stop them. The bottom line is, the police view certain groups as allies. People like Kyle Rittenhouse. Be safe out there folks. Someone is going to try to kill pro-Palestinian protesters this summer and the police will not be there to stop it.

     Elledeeay and Bill repeated this.

     @brendo @KatM @DrALJONES

     Two American- Palestinian students were killed in the West Bank since October 7th

     Three American- Palestinian students were shot in the US since October 7th, leaving one kid paralyzed

     A 6 year old American- Palestinian boy was murdered in Naperville, IL since October 7th

     Many students were injured by police over the last few days. At least one at Columbia was injured so badly he was taken by ambulance from the school

     I have no doubt you're right.

     @KatM

     And, for a long time, the police just stood by., letting the thugs do the dirty work.

     @DrALJONES I believe reports may come out that those were mostly Proud Boys cosplaying as Zionists doing what the cops wanted to do, but those pesky cameras. Watch the UCLA videos and then watch known Proud Boy violence on video, they show up the same way using the same tactics.

     @DrALJONES @Mary625

     So, people supporting Israel who don’t like other people protesting Israel’s violence against Palestinians showed up, and their response was to commit violence against the protestors? That’s a little too on the nose.
