If they are known agitators, throw the book at them.
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.

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.

I hope they have video. They can’t charge individuals for vandalism and property destruction unless they can show they personally did it. Without video they’d probably be stuck with criminal trespass or something to that effect.

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."

Something that very quietly has been happening...We're experiencing a lot of out-of-state students in the SEC, particularly schools like Tennessee, Alabama and Florida. Same goes for Clemson and Florida State.
I'd read or heard recently that half of the student body at Alabama, was not from Alabama.
Why the shift? Less woke? Cheaper tuition? Education quality?
“Cry havoc and let slip the DOGE of war!”
Those who cheered as J-6 American prisoners were locked in solitary for 18 months without trial, now suddenly fight tooth and nail for foreign terrorists’ "due process". — Buck Sexton

Just yesterday we were chatting with a young staffer in an NC rep’s office. She’s from Charlotte are but went to school at Ole Miss. FEMA guy mentions just what you did, that SEC schools are attracting more and more out of staters.
She said a number of kids from her high school went to Ole Miss and added ‘UNC is just too hard to get into’
