I bet google searches of "how to set up a tent" has gone through the roof
I'm sure these came with instructions. I saw several on their "campground".

Note the price, although I'm sure they can be found cheaper.

Cry harder:
Again, I'm all for being fair. Charge and prosecute the students for misdemeanors. If they miss finals, tough cookies.
Charge and prosecute any non-students vigorously. If that also means misdemeanors, so be it. If they are known agitators, throw the book at them.
Always remember, Operation Valkyrie was an act of sedition.

The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

I think that these "protests" will quickly die down now. Two weeks from now, there wont be much left, especially after the semester has ended for most of the schools.

Do you think Fani has some tips?
Probably has two. Ask Nathan Wade.

I watched much the Columbia dispersal and roundup live last evening on the television - FYI, not on a US news channel either.
I thought the NYPD undertook their mission in a measured and determined professional fashion. My congratulations to them. I hope too see similar here should the need arise.
Ultimately though, as was demonstrated two years ago in Ottawa, police restraint in these matters is almost wholly dependent on the rabble and its ringleaders. Sometimes chips will fly.

I read a report that stated that tear gas was NOT used in the entry into Hamilton Hall, but they did make use of flash-bangs.

….made use of flash bangs
As they should going into an occupied building or area where there was the possibility of belligerence and weapons of any sort being used to resist law enforcement. If the occupants were frightened, saw stars and their ears rang for a few hours or more after, that’s just too bad for them. They ought not to have been there in the first place.

Remember when Viet Nam ended? And so did the protests.
So instead of protesting, college students started streaking.
I remember there was a giant streak organized. A few hundred streakers running across the quad, on a sunny Spring afternoon. I think it lasted a couple hours, I watched for a while.

Lawyer comments:
"If DOJ/DHS/TSA can track every person who attended J6 protest, label them as terrorists, and continue to hamper their rights to free travel, then they can ID every person participating in support for a foreign terrorist organization -- which is a crime -- and make sure they receive no financial aid and have no student loans forgiven.
Maybe THAT is a job I might apply for."
