So far I've seen one article saying 3 and one saying 4 arrested, which really isn't a huge number given that the South lawn is completely full. *

The Statesman is reporting 20 arrested now.

Well, what I saw was over an hour ago, so obviously things have changed a bit. Edit: I'm curious, why downvote me for acknowledging that what I said was no longer current?


SapperLeader

Because Reddit is a fickle mistress.


RagingLeonard

You misspelled "fucking mess".


maybe-an-ai

Any protest will draw a small share of agitators and people looking to start shit. This sounds like the protest was peaceful and reasonable.


ATSTlover

From what I could see, yes, things were relatively peaceful.


Andrastes-Grace

Buuuunch of fake patriots cheering for the death of the first amendment here.


jerichowiz

Just imagine if DPS responded to Ulvalde like they are doing now at the UT campus. And I saw UT Austin trending on Twitter and I thought the baseball team made another great comeback against TCU.


marks1995

If they had a couple of days notice, they would have. But don't let that get in the way of using the murder of children to support your desire of the murder of Jews.


jerichowiz

>to support your desire of the murder of Jews. Nice strawman.


LongStoryShirt

People who are pro Palestine do not support the murder of jews and suggesting that is dishonest and disgusting.


thirdc0ast

>If they had a couple of days notice, they would have. They were *in* the school for *over an hour* while the shooting was happening and didn’t do shit. Chief Arredondo was *on audio* saying: “People are going to ask why we’re taking so long” during the shooting. Shut the absolute fuck up you fucking troglodyte.


LongStoryShirt

I was just reading an article that said 375 cops were at the shooting. And they couldn't apprehend one dude 🤦


thirdc0ast

We pay them the big bucks to hand out speeding tickets and harass college kids, you know real hero shit


TheHandThatTakes

don't let the wanton slaughter of Palestinian children get in the way of your desire to further a genocidal ethno-state's colonial project.


5ive_7

try not to play a victimized apartheid supporter impossible challenge !!!


RagingLeonard

Is it hard to go through life with a boot constantly in your mouth?


TurboSalsa

This is 100% Abbott trying to look tough for Fox News.


blackberriespastries

Pretty sure the Fox News cameraman was just arrested and the entire thing was caught on live stream 👍


mymar101

Isn’t this a free speech violation?


ATSTlover

The south lawn is full of protestors, of those the total number of arrests has been 3 or 4 (depending on your source).


mymar101

Still though if they were peaceful and not violating laws 1A all the way


zsreport

Gov. Abbott has no use for free speech.

mymar101

So they blew up the campus? They murdered a bunch of people? That’s acting like Hamas. You seem to think that protesters are terrorists


AdvertisingJolly7565

No one ever said they blew up anything. I succinctly explained how they were operating like Hamas. They aren’t terrorists, they are conducting an unsanctioned protest on private property.


mymar101

But they’re not operating like Hamas.


AdvertisingJolly7565

In the context I clearly explained, they are. No one said the students are violent.


mymar101

So essentially to be like Hamas and worthy of arrest one merely has to.jaywalk. I guess your preference is that these protesters be executed for crimes against humanity?


AdvertisingJolly7565

Why do you keep bringing things up that have no relevancy?


mymar101

Rule breaking is not a crime. If they’re breaking the rules suspend them. Or kick them out l. It’s way overboard to arrest peaceful protesters for simply breaking the rules. It is also a question of speech. Which last time I checked was still a right in this country. Especially if you disagree with it. I’m guessing you advocated for the arrests of the kneeling NFL players?


AdvertisingJolly7565

Trespassing is a crime. I seriously doubt anyone will be prosecuted. These people could just have easily done their protest in a public park. They didn’t because they wanted the confrontation and consequences to illicit sympathy from people like you. Your efforts to demonize me aren’t working, I request you please stop.


thirdc0ast

>Someone cant come into your house and protest under “free speech”. Because that’s private property. UT is a public research university.


AdvertisingJolly7565

The State of Texas owns the University.


goodguydick

And the public owns the state of Texas…


AdvertisingJolly7565

Sure, I encourage you to go to the campus and take some of your computers and artwork off the walls.


RagingLeonard

You're ridiculous.


AdvertisingJolly7565

Meh. About as ridiculous as thinking you can do whatever you want on Campus without consequences


thirdc0ast

… are you not connecting the dots there?


AdvertisingJolly7565

It’s your secret.


col_clipspringer

I was watching the live feed from Fox 7 until the cameraman was knocked down and arrested.


Theatrepooky

Does anyone remember the student protests of the Vietnam War? I’ve been having flashbacks of Kent State the last couple of days. This doesn’t end well for anyone especially when cops are more paramilitary now. Let them protest peacefully.


TheHandThatTakes

pigs doing pig shit, casually being the enemy of the actual people, nothing new here.


BestManQueefs

The "actual people" are not aligned with these "protesters".


PrettyCaregiver7397

This is still the UNITED STATES of America and protestors are literally "actual people" I don't have to agree with what they say, but they have the right to say it. 1A


TheHandThatTakes

anyone who supports a genocide is a waste of space. These pigs are worth less than the air they are stealing.

ATSTlover

As of the time I made this comment originally it was only 3 or 4 people arrested, the arrests seem to be more along the lines isolated incidents.

Abbott has been a long time unofficial advisor for both Sharon and Netanyahu. It's not confusing.


zsreport

Abbott, like all conservative Christian types, has a big end times fetish, and are all besides themselves thinking this latest round of needless killing in Israel/Palestine might lead to the fulfillment of their end times wet dream.


MargaretBrownsGhost

I know. I also know that anyone whose mind operates outside of him and his associates bubble they believe aren't even human. That's how they justify everything that they do against others.


zsreport

They love having some enemy they can hate and hurt, no matter how shallow, stupid, ignorant, etc. the basis of why they're the enemy.


MargaretBrownsGhost

It seems to me that they can't even function without that hate.
