"Police were pushing into the camp after an hours-long standoff. Chan, 31, a medical tent volunteer, said protesters limped in with severe puncture wounds, but there was little hope of getting them to a hospital through the chaos outside. Chan suspects the injuries were caused by rubber bullets or other 'less lethal' projectiles, which police have confirmed were fired at protesters."

I can’t get over #Trump saying watching students & police clash
“WAS A BEAUTIFUL THING TO WATCH”
Yesterday Trump said talking about the #protests:
"[#Biden] said he ran because of #Charlottesville.… Well, if the people that know Charlottesville, when you extend that statement, it’s a big hoax. Charlottesville is peanuts compared to what you’re looking at now."
#WhiteChristianNationalism #Israel #Gaza #Palestinians #FreedomOfAssembly #FirstAmendment #law #VoteBlue #BidenHarris2024
#Biden’s stance is more nuanced, more difficult to explain to a mass audience. He supports #peaceful #protests consistent w/ the #FirstAmendment, but not #demonstrations that result in vandalism, trespassing & other #crimes.
Like the #protesters, Biden believes that #Israel has inflicted too much carnage in #Gaza. Unlike some of them, he defends Israel’s sovereignty & recoils at the notion of Jews losing a homeland.
A #Biden adviser said: "Donald #Trump has repeatedly fanned the flames & encouraged #CivilInrest as a political strategy, & it has repeatedly failed to be effective."
The campus #protests pose a dilemma for Biden as the pace of the general election campaign quickens. Trump’s stance is simple enough for a bumper sticker: “People have to respect #law & order in this country,” he wrote in a post on Tues.
[unless they’re his supporters aiding his #coup, beating police, & looking to hang his VP]
#Trump says #police raid on university #protesters 'beautiful to watch'
Trump, at a rally in Waukesha, #Wisconsin, called for tougher action against campus protests & again suggested some of the protesters were paid actors. He called on college presidents to “remove the encampments immediately, vanquish the locals & take back our campuses for all of the normal students.”

He also, again, described 2017’s deadly neo-#Nazi rally in #Charlottesville, Virginia as “peanuts” compared to pro-#Palestinian student protests across the country

As pro-Palestinian #protests continued to escalate across the country, ofcls & students at #BrownUniversity set a rare example on Tues: They made a deal.
Demonstrators agreed to dismantle their encampment at #Brown, which had been removed by Tues evening, & university leaders said they would discuss, & later vote on, divesting funds from companies connected to the #IDF campaign in #Gaza.

Fear is widespread on American campuses, researcher says
Students are “observing acts of physical violence and intimidation right in front of them. Jewish students are seeing Jewish buildings attacked. Muslim students are seeing people ... counterattack against Muslims. The students that are not Jewish and not Muslim, they’re just seeing everybody getting ... attacked.”
