A good start.

College campuses escalated their efforts to root out pro-Hamas occupations on Tuesday, with police arresting more than 430 people on nine different college campuses. Police have made more than 1,600 arrests in connection with the disruptive, illegal campus occupations since the first one began at Columbia University on April 19, according to an investigation by The Washington Stand. Disturbingly, some universities are beginning to cave to protestors’ demands to restore order to campus, even as campus protests become increasingly dominated by non-students.
The sheer number of campus protests and arrests can be a bit bewildering to keep track of them all. As of Wednesday, there were at least 1,641 arrests and counting at 33 colleges and universities in 23 states, with at least three more schools threatening to make arrests and more pro-Hamas encampments cropping up daily.
Since so much media coverage obscures this point, it bears repeating that universities have not called in police to arrest protestors simply for exercising their right to free speech, or even for the vile, anti-Semitic content of that speech. After asking law enforcement to intervene on two separate occasions, the University of Texas at Austin on Monday issued this representative statement: “Protests are allowed at the University of Texas. Since October and prior to April 24, no fewer than 13 pro-Palestinian free speech events were held on the UT campus, and four more demonstrations have been held since Thursday, largely without incident.”

A good start.
But Oprah, Hillary, Obama, Holder, Jarett, CNN, W’Post, NY Times . . . said . . .
Arrested?
No.
More like temporarily detained.
Just let things cool off a little bit, and the ‘arrested’ will be let go with a simple warning, and then, they’ll be back at it again.
The prosecutors will give them a cookie and let them go. Probably with a box of pre-filled ballots for this November.
Cops are suckers for doing this.
Once the cops clean up the Universities’ marxist mess, Woke university Admin and their red-guard spawn will have their kumbayah moment, and return to together eulogizing George Floyd, hating cops and hating the “white male patriarchy.”
BTTT
The global intifada
How many of those arrested are released the next day? Asking for some J6 Political Prisoners...
But nothing will happen to them, the lack of accountability is infuriating.
Thank you Brandon. Your trip to Michigan was the catalyst for this.
Check their Bank Records
How many are on student visas and should be deported? And how many have been expelled from their schools? And are any still in jail or even saw the inside of a jail?
[[More like temporarily detained]]
Yep, and how much is it costing taxpayers to temporarily house the criminals? IF they were actually going to prosecute, i’d say fine, but we’ve seen this movie many times over with blm, antifa, code pink etc “getting arrested” then let go with no charges.
We really are a banana republic nowz- the left are destroying this nation and laughing all the way to the bank about it too.
“Pro Hamas”? More propaganda you’re fed and immediately begin trafficking. Where’s your evidence? No quotes, no actions, no nothing, just the lying narrative you gladly promote. Anti genocidal warfare is what they are promoting. When will you actually quote what protesters are saying not what your media masters tell you to say?
And not a damn thing will happen to them.................The J6ers on the other hand.....................
And we’re paying for these azhos’ “college participation certificates.” The Hamass Walkers.
That’s almost exactly the number of innocent human beings the Fakestinians tortured or slaughtered on 07 October.
Now, let’s see the police round up the rest of this scum AND SEE THE PROPERLY PROSECUTED AND IMPRISONED!! No more “prosecutorial discretion” failures to prosecute. No more commie/Nazi/leftist judges dismissing the criminals with a couple hours of “community service!”
We have laws to prevent criminal assaults, threats, and riots. Let’s see the laws properly applied for a change now. Only then will good, decent American students be able to attend school safely and free of fear. Same for faculty and staff who are entitled to a safe workplace.
For the most part in most places these arrests are theater and nothing more. As many posters in this thread have noted.
As I mentioned in another thread, there is a not insignificant number of these so called protesters being brought in from out of state. Now legally they’re getting against federal law pulling that off, but fortunately with our two tier justice system the FBI doesn’t give a shit.
