Anybody with a Yasser Arafat head scarf should be considered a nonAmerican and be deported to Palestine. You want to fight against what America stands for then go to the Middle East and begin your war there.
Are they actually breaking any laws or are we ok with militarized state police threatening 1st amendment rights for people who have opinions we don't agree with now?
Before the hate and downvotes come this is a serious question. I haven't seen encampments on these other campuses like Columbia and the articles I've peeped have said the troopers were threatening to arrest for trespassing but nobody had been arrested.
You are allowed to peacefully assemble on public university campuses.
For sure, the articles from this campus I had read stated they were threatening arrests for trespassing but none had been made. If anyone is vandalizing or threatening safety that would fall under a different category.
Doesn't help I'm not there as we all know how media can frame, but none the less this video is not a good look and feels like a great way to whip up some more division with media.
I suppose we have the rebranded BLM/antifa movement ready to ride.
You're spot on and I find it a bit distressing that you're getting downvotes.
These kids are complete idiots but we don't put people in jail in this country for speech. Or at least we sure as hell shouldn't. We're lowering ourselves to the tactics of leftist pigs.
For the kids who are destroying property, that's a whole other conversation. But it looks like a lot of these idiots are being arrested for saying something unpopular.
I’ve lived under Gov. Abbott’s regime in TX ever since he took office. He is 100% RINO and ANYTHING he does that appears like it’s helping is all optics and no teeth. Every EO and bill/law he’s signed that appears like a ‘win’ is NOT once you read the details.
The whole National Guard deployments at Eagle Pass and El Paso were mere photo pops and they’re merely routing illegals to entry points, letting them all in, and then depositing them into our country.
The TX National Guard’s presence at the border doesn’t mean diddly shit when their orders / rules of engagement are to serve as an an Uber service for the illegals. If anything, they’re adding manpower to process MORE illegals INTO the country faster. It’s a total disgrace, and oblivious Texans are falling for the propaganda all the time. Last # I heard is 1.7 MILLION illegals have been added to the Texas voter registration list. Thanks worthless Gov. Abbott! :-(
These children are idiots but we don't put people in jail for speech in this country. If they riot or if they destroy something, then arrest them and try them. But it looks an awful lot like most of these idiot kids are being put in jail for saying something that's unpopular.
Nah I'll have to dig more, but from what I've seen so far this looks like a violation of free speech. Doesn't matter if you agree with why they are protesting or not. If they were protesting on the campus without causing anyone harm then Abbot is out of line on this one.
Abbott "not messing around" is actually Abbott "Taking orders from our 'Greatest ally'".
Exactly.
Greg Abbott is smart.
The Democrats are waiting for any excuse to riot this year... like they did in 2020.
Having troopers in place to squash that bug is good planning.

That Arafat headscarf is almost the same (or perhaps the same) as waving a terrorist flag about.

You are not however; allowed to destroy property or threaten the lives of bystanders.

For some reason this link doesn’t work and tells my my phone has been hacked. Be careful.

Good job, Abbott.
Laws? Gee Weez, the left loves 'Hate speech laws.' What does "From the river to the sea" mean? DHU!
Laws? Illegally occupying private property to start with, destroying property seems probable. Why would anyone think that might happen? DUH!
