Student Mob Returns to George Washington U. After Dozens of Arrests
“the protest was becoming more volatile and less stable”
This is what happens when people are arrested and then immediately released with no consequences.
The Associated Press reported on the arrests:
Police clear pro-Palestinian protest camp and arrest 33 at DC campus as mayor’s hearing is canceled
Police used pepper spray to clear a pro-Palestinian tent encampment at George Washington University and arrested dozens of demonstrators on Wednesday just as city officials were set to appear before hostile lawmakers in Congress to account for their handling of the 2-week-old protest.
The House Committee on Oversight and Accountability canceled the hearing after the crackdown, with its chairman and other Republicans welcoming the police action. House Speaker Mike Johnson said, “it should not require threatening to haul D.C.’s mayor before Congress to keep Jewish students at George Washington University safe.”
Mayor Muriel Bowser, a Democrat, said she and Metropolitan Police Chief Pamela Smith decided to clear the camp because of signs that “the protest was becoming more volatile and less stable.” Among them were indications that protesters had “gathered improvised weapons” and were “casing” university buildings with the possible intention of occupying them, police said.
About 24 hours later, the mob returned.

I keep seeing “pro-Palestinian” when it would be more accurate to use “pro-Hamas” or “pro-terrorist”.
Or Pro Nazi since that is what they are.
If there are no negative consequences for their actions, they will not change their actions. Liberals have trouble understanding that.
