Activism Uncensored: A Déjà Vu Headline in Florida, as Police Crack Down on the SDS
At the University of South Florida, Pro-Palestine protests are disbanded with heavy police force
As is the case at a number of schools across the country, the University of South Florida has seen intense confrontations between pro-Palestinian protesters and police. Ford Fischer of News2Share here notes police departments and schools have employed varying strategies, some relying more on force than others, and “the University of South Florida has been among the most heavyhanded in their approach.”
This video shows a progression across three separate demonstrations. A brief note: numerous groups lead the USF protests, and one present is the Students for a Democratic Society (SDS), which is not that SDS, but reportedly a new group adopting the same name.
For those new to Racket, the purpose of the “Activism Uncensored” feature is to let cameras run longer and present protests and political demonstrations as they seem to the camerapeople themselves, so audiences can form their own opinions. David Decker of the News2Share team does a tremendous job capturing the scene. More to come.
These kids are uneducated morons instigated by professional activists and their own empty lives. It's like watching adult daycare. They're pathetic.
The free speech aspect is important, although it is hard to argue protesters have the legal right to form encampments, in areas not designated for camping. When asked to disperse, and protesters refuse, are the police suppose to call it a day, and head home?
The question no one seems to be asking, is what makes American college kids, especially young women, dress in clothing, clearly designed to subjugate them, and scream "DieJew Die", and Go Back to Poland". They clearly have the right to say vile things, but why on earth are they spewing such hate, having been raised in one of the most diverse nations, the world has ever known?
They no longer seem, to even feign concern, for starving Palestinian children. No one is collecting canned goods, or volunteering to visit the area ,and offer aid. Shouting "Hamas Forever", in no way helps Palestine, since it is inarguable, the IDF would not be in Gaza , but for the Hamas, Oct 7 attack.
Israelis left Gaza nearly 2 decades ago. Other than picking up the tab , for much of Palestinian life, Palestinians rule themselves. They chose Hamas.
Moreover, where were the protesters when Syria was killing Palestinians by the hundred thousand? Children are dying in the Sudan, by the tens of thousands, but then it is tough to blame the Jews, for their deaths. Free speech is very important. Using it to hide antisemitism, is legal, but hardly something to cheer.
