President Biden on Thursday addressed the intensifying pro-Palestinian protests at American colleges, telling reporters that "dissent is essential for democracy" but that "dissent must never lead to disorder."

"There's the right to protest but not the right to cause chaos," Biden said of the protests, which have seen more than 2,000 arrests nationwide. His remarks at the White House were the first since April 22, when he made brief comments to reporters.

“In moments like this, there are always those who rush in to score political points. But this isn’t a moment for politics. It’s a moment for clarity. So let me be clear. Violent protest is not protected, peaceful protest is,” Biden said.

I'm not gonna hold my breath waiting for the Insurrection indictments to be handed down. I am expecting the usual suspects to say that these students have been so much better behaved than the 'J6 mobs.'

Good catch.

Even mostly peaceful chaos.

And the smoking pollution including released plastic and carpeting fumes going up from a block long fire of burning stores didn’t count.
