We must stop this violence and call for a two campus solution.

[-] MolotovHalfEmpty@hexbear.net 87 points 5 months ago

Reporting from the ground that one encampment member was taken out on a stretcher. Zionist attackers then threw their fireworks towards it.

Elsewhere...

At Columbia cops threw protestors down a flight of stairs, then denied access to EMS or medical help despite the fact that one was unconcious.

At Washington University St Louis, video has come out of police tackling and beating a professor for filming a police assualt. He's still in hospital multiple broken bones and in the video you can see the bicycle cop deliberately breaking his ribs while he's restrained on the ground.

Every EMS I've known has hated cops with a white hot vengeance. One paramedic I knew said if they saw a cop blocking their way to a scene ever again they'd just accelerate.

As for the professor, bold of the cops to antagonise the usually easy to appease haute intelligentsia.

[-] Bloobish@hexbear.net 21 points 5 months ago

Yup, most medical people that have to work with patients on the ground fuckin hate pigs

I know of one exception, an ex friend who was trying to get hired as a trainee cop after working as a licensed EMT for a little while. Comic book brained-ass individual

Liberals aren’t even pretending to care like they did in 2020.

[-] HamManBad@hexbear.net 22 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

Good, cleaving liberals from the left is absolutely necessary to move forward. This genocide, and the war in the donbas to a lesser extent, has been a good filter to get the imperialists to show their ass

[-] 420blazeit69@hexbear.net 12 points 5 months ago

It's not enough to draw lines between liberals and leftists. Ultimately we need to convince a lot of people (almost certainly a lot of now-liberals) to get on our side if we're going to accomplish anything.

[-] HamManBad@hexbear.net 10 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

I would make a distinction between soft liberals, who are generally left-leaning normies who just absorbed the ambient ideology around them, and the hardcore, "uhm acktually" neolibs who are as rabidly imperialist and anticommunist as any fascist. The latter should be treated the same as chuds

[-] 420blazeit69@hexbear.net 5 points 5 months ago

That's definitely a useful distinction, but I don't think you treat the latter group like chuds -- they're the ones who articulate that ambient ideology the former group nods along to. Dismiss or attack a group someone already disagrees with (chuds) and that group will give you broad latitude, or even cheer you on. Dismiss or attack the sacred cows of liberal spaces and those "soft liberals" will tell themselves that you didn't actually address what was said.

Local News Reporting

the pro-Palestinian group Divest from Death USC

That’s a very good protest group name.

[-] ZWQbpkzl@hexbear.net 27 points 5 months ago

That reporter got the best footage possible.

[-] Greenleaf@hexbear.net 71 points 5 months ago

Remember, when the campus protests first entered the news cycle, it was all about how Zionist students felt unsafe even though no one had actually been harmed in any way?

[-] 420blazeit69@hexbear.net 32 points 5 months ago

"Unsafe" gets thrown around way too much, and not just by right-wing freaks. Absent a plausible physical threat, there's no safety issue.

[-] AutomatedPossum@hexbear.net 15 points 5 months ago

The claims being obviously bogus and weaponized in this case doesn't mean you have to go full stupidpol and pretend that opression starts only when somebody gets punched. There's tons of ways to make a space unsafe while it maintains a perfectly civil appearance.

[-] 420blazeit69@hexbear.net 9 points 5 months ago

There's tons of ways to make a space unsafe while it maintains a perfectly civil appearance.

Those ways would fall under "plausible physical threats." Absent that, we're talking about people being uncomfortable (which can also be bad and may warrant addressing), but that's not the same as unsafe.

[-] EllenKelly@hexbear.net 10 points 5 months ago

Uncomfortable and unsafe are are synonyms, sorry I dont make the rules

[-] JohnBrownNote@hexbear.net 64 points 5 months ago

arm the student protestors

[-] 2Password2Remember@hexbear.net 28 points 5 months ago

take the cops' guns and give them to homeless ppl, trans ppl, and student protestors

Death to America

They cut away from the helicopter shots when the lapd started moving in

Wait, I though Israeli Zionists liked walls?

[-] Lemmygradwontallowme@hexbear.net 38 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

Ye gotta remember... there is only one standard for them: zionist or not?

If you're not a zionist, according to them, then you should be trampled upon by them... remember the Jericho walls?

[-] Bloobish@hexbear.net 36 points 5 months ago

I'm honestly really worried a Zionist or other alt-righter is going to bring a firearm or do something equally horrendous while the pigs stand by and allow it to happen

[-] NewLeaf@hexbear.net 26 points 5 months ago

It's going to happen. Gun violence in "self defense" has been completely normalized in this country. It's going to be way worse than Kent State by the time this is over.
