Clever but as in “I don’t pay several thousand per unit and hundred in fees to have random people take over parts of the campus”. Have an area on campus and whatever but clear out over night.

Well the universities seem to agree so too bad.

History will remember the students fondly. It won’t remember you at all.

Why even bother replying after 24 hours if it’s just going to be another childish attempt to insult/bait an emotional reaction? Your behaviour and the behaviour of “activist” defacing property is entirely reminiscent of why I have this view.

Spare me. No amount of insults will stop me supporting the ideals of the protest or resulting me flipping out in a racial/political tirade. Which I have to assume you’re hoping for to justify your snark since you can’t seem to devise any form of coherent discourse otherwise.

I wasn’t aware my replies had to be on your preferred timeline. As if your “too bad” comment wasn’t itself childish, much less your brain dead take on the extremely peaceful protests.

Yes, that was clearly my issue, that your ad hominem insult weren’t prompt enough. I expect further insults to be real time.

As opposed to your “no”, clearly you entered this discussion in all good faith and very much interested why I have the view that I do.

University of Queensland will involve police and take disciplinary action against pro-Palestine student protesters after their conduct on campus allegedly resulted in assault and property damage.

Peaceful except when they aren’t (which let’s be honest isn’t too frequently in the country fortunately). I don’t need to be yelled at by idiots who I already largely agree with. If they were pro Israel protesters or conservative activist camping out on grounds my opinions would be far worse.
