    @George-K

    ….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.

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

          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.

            Good points. I'd be surprised if they don't.

                That one might be fake. No news outlets are covering it and it looks like the first responders have Hebrew lettering on their shirts. Old video repurposed?

                      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?

                                  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’

                                      I went on a tour of UMASS Lowell yesterday with No. 1 Son - I was slightly nervous that there'd be protesting. Barring a small number of very polite Cambodians who were quietly protesting something about employment, there was no hint of a protest, and no tension whatsoever.

                                      It's odd that some colleges are virtually in flames, and some seem to be carrying on completely as normal.

                                      I was only joking
