there were massive BLM protests DURING COVID, including the one where Rittenhouse killed a dude.

They weren't close to being as impactful as this in terms of scale, potential influence and number of people involved, wouldn't you agree? Don't you think this is a "bigger protest" overall?

1/6, abortion rights, the protests we've had since COVID began are small potatoes compared to this. People died during 1/6 but we aren't hearing that in the US yet in regards to these protests. That's a good thing, I think.

Yeah there's been no indication of any violence from the protestors. Just so stupid to enflame the situation by having the cops move in.

Pro-Israel folk are probably calling the police and university and indicating they feel unsafe. It's possible for that to be true and the protesters to also be non-violent. If that's the case police being present makes sense

I'm saying is this isn't as bad as it could be. This isn't Kent State, Ferguson after Michael Brown or Charlottesville. Not yet at least. I've seen worse in the last decade. Is it still unacceptable? Maybe. I been watching this since Feb and I think the protesters and police have done a good job even though things have gotten worse over there. I've seen both sides be terrible at what they do. We aren't seeing police cars getting flipped over or riots yet.

I think what's different is protesters have mostly taken place during Ramadan and many of the Muslim protesters are great at showing restraint and encouraging others to do so.
