A peaceful demonstration under U.S. law means:

No physical violence, property damage, or intimidation
Obedience to lawful police orders
Use of public space consistent with permits or regulations

Expression — even if controversial — that does not rise to threats or incitement
Peaceful protests are a cornerstone of American democracy. But the law draws a clear boundary between expression and aggression. When speech becomes harassment, intimidation, or a threat, it ceases to be protected and loses its “peaceful” character.

This is directed to you as I have much respect for you on the forums. I want your honest opinion too.

Why did our US politicians/presidents (Biden and Trump) push hard to stop college campuses from peaceful protesting against pro-Palestine vs Izzy? We saw these protests in the majority of Ivy schools, higher IQ schools, etc...

DeSantos threaten Florida schools with expulsion and other severe penalties.

Meanwhile, DeSantos approved the creation of, "We stand with Izzy" specialty license plate. In 2025, DeSantis signed SB 1678, expanding Florida’s anti‑BDS laws to include academic boycotts and restricting contracts with educational institutions that boycott Izzy.

Biden says Americans have 'right to protest but not the right to cause chaos' on college campuses. They will arrest students unlawfully protesting.


Trump did not specify what would constitute an "illegal" protest. Broadly speaking, the right to protest is protected by the First Amendment of the US Constitution.

Trump threatened deportation for illegal and violent protest.

Desantos passage is the strongest anti-BDS law to date, Florida has affirmed its role as a steadfast ally of the Jewish people and a leader in the fight against antisemitism. Desantos law might be taking things a bit far.

Personally I have no issue for those wanting to protest over anything. But to include violence in with your protesting makes it something else all together. It's no longer a protest but a terrorist attack.

Biden definition of chaos was the following:
He emphasized that violence, destruction of property, or blocking campus operations is “against the law” and not protected protest. None of this ever happened on the campuses. Now the US media, under Izzy instructions, pushed the agenda to portray this was occurring.

Trump publicly threatened consequences for student protesters and universities, such as:
Expelling or deporting students who protest.
Cutting federal funding to universities that allow certain demonstrations.

The issue I had was there was never any violence, blocking campus operations, etc... Many videos around the country showed this to be true. However, Trump wanted to stop it completely. Basically disregarding the 1st amendment.

DeSantos is one of many that serves Izzy first so it comes as no surprise with his past tactics.

Sick and tired of these politicians not serving USA first. Get them all out of here.

What a load of ****. Even mainstream media covered the occupation of Hamilton Hall, its broken windows and how Columbia shut down classes due to the pro-terrorist idiots. This took all of 2 minutes to debunk:

Columbia Protesters Storm Hamilton Hall - Newsweek

And this one from the ultra-conservative CBS:

Violence breaks out at some pro-Palestinian campus protests - CBS News

I guess the response to this one at U-Dub will be "arson isn't violence." Right up there with "Walls Don't Work."



You actually believe the propaganda you push.

This also took less than two minutes to search

Noticed you left out many of the initial encounters. UCLA had Zionism show up in force and attacked the palestine protestors

Peaceful protests: Christians at abortion clinics. Annual Walk For Life
Violent protests: Left wing professional protest thugs

Why did you leave you January 6th attack on the capital?

You can't have it both ways there champ.

You mean the Fed-surrection. Yes there was violence. Those people were dupes. They were protesting a stolen election. Like all of us, they witnessed mobs get away with cities burning, looting and disregard for police authority for really no reason. They were dumb enough to think think that the same leniency for that behavior would apply to them. Most were goaded into their transgressions and they paid dearly for it, including many who did nothing wrong. The pardons couldn't come soon enough.

So what you really meant to say, "Violent protests: Right and left wing professional protest thugs"...

The pardons was a complete joke as it was granted blanket clemency by Trump for nearly 1600 convicted, awaiting trial, or sentencing for offenses. It's a clown show led by the king of clowns.

They were sitting in jail for four years before the pardons. Unlike the Soros-backed professional Antifa and BLM anarchists, the J6ers weren't paid. They only believed the election was corrupted and fell into a trap. When it comes to speaking against violent protests, J6 is all the left has got, and ironically, they manufactured that one. Violent protests are the stock and trade of the left. They have their own organized shock troops.

They marched in, broke windows, destroyed property, etc... They are idiots and knew damn well what they were doing.

I just named one....

6 Stop the Steal Nationwide protests involving proud boys -- December 2020
7. Far Right anti-islam/anti fraud protest - January 2026

Let's not forget our favorite, Jake Lang and crew, who goes around state to state to cause violence.

Yeah, I will stick to far right and far left are both culprits to causing issues when it doesn't go their way.

Were Conservative politicians standing with the rioters? Were the rioters Conservatives?

Hint: The answer to both questions is No.

It happens on both sides was the point. At what point do you think making this comment changes what I stated previously?

What ELECTED politicians of the right defended the Far Right rioters?

Several defend the Far Left ones. No?

So which side of the isle is pushing division?
