What's the history of 'outside agitators'? Here's what to know about the label and campus protests

A recent incident police just let those counter protest to attack campus protesters. Campus protesters asking why tax money being used to fund genocide, however some people just don't like it.

Agent provocateurs enable the police to attack the protesters. Long history.

Some people have difficulty hiding their Jew-hatred. I’m glad it’s out in the open now.

To liberate Gaza, step one, get rid of Hamas. Bury them twenty meters below the ground.

Step two, whatever government they set, it needs to be separate from religion. No Islam, no Christianity, no religion. State and religion set apart.

Gargoyle, no need for a random shot at the Christians. They’re not likely to be running things in that part of the world

So proud the university students all around the World are standing for what is right.

Peacefully and with respect.

The counter zionist protesters, the police, the media will try to break you, brutally attack you, lie about you and demonize you. Standing for what is right can't be stopped.

From the river to the sea, Palestine will be FREE!

Garthgoyle, completly agree.

All three monotheistic religions have brought unspeakable harm to humanity since their beginnings through their all-blessing, intolerant fanaticism.

So proud the university students all around the World are standing for what is right.

I disagree.

Peacefully and with respect.

Apparently, you haven't watched the videos that tell a much different story.

The counter zionist protesters, the police, the media will try to break you, brutally attack you, lie about you and demonize you. Standing for what is right can't be stopped.

And Hamas will still fall and the Jewish state will still stand at the end of the day, so what was the purpose of these spoiled and entitled kids in the end?

From the river to the sea, Palestine will be FREE!

That will never happen.

Christians would do just the same ore worse if they were to run the government. It has happened in story already. State and Religion are not meant to be together.

“Outside agitators”, “Agent Provocateurs” or whatever you want to call them, getting involved, infiltrating an otherwise legitimate, peaceful protest, to de-legitimize that protest, have been around for many years. And in my lifetime, I can think of Greenham Common; Orgreave and other Miner’s strike incidents; Chelsea thugs at Heysel causing riots later blamed on Liverpool fans.

And I am sure there are many more.

You oppose their First Amendment rights.

What's the history of 'outside agitators'?

That is has overwhelmingly been used against progressive, socialist movements advocating for more human rights and freedom.

From union busters and massacres against inhumane conditions to the civil rights movement and McCarthyism.

Historical fact.

Some of the vandalism in this case could be linked to that.

You oppose their First Amendment rights.

No, I oppose radicalism as well as agents infiltrating these campuses to stir up these protesters to the point where they think they can hold their campus hostage, inconveniencing their fellow students that do want an education, these people are not peacefully protesting when they deny others from an education. There should be severe consequences for these radical actions.

That is has overwhelmingly been used against progressive, socialist movements advocating for more human rights and freedom. 

And most useless and futile.

From union busters and massacres against inhumane conditions to the civil rights movement and McCarthyism. 

To an extent, but in Israel’s case, it’s not going to matter.

Some of the vandalism in this case could be linked to that.

Whatever the reason, these thugs should be kicked out and barred from graduating and their tuition be forfeited and used to pay for the damages caused by these people.

And Hamas will still fall and the Jewish state will still stand at the end of the day, so what was the purpose of these spoiled and entitled kids in the end?

True. Just entitled, misinformed frustrated children.

There are student protests across the globe including in Japan. Not all have been violent and in many cases it was the police who caused the violence or outside actors provoking the situation.

I expect that the same criteria were applied to the individuals who vandalized the Capitol Building on January 6 and attempted to subvert the Constitution. Thousands were arrested, and more than 500 were imprisoned, some receiving lengthy terms.

The difference is, they didn’t vandalized, spray painted, setup tents, help Jewish supporters hostages, set demands, chanted and called for the destruction of the nation.

and attempted to subvert the Constitution.

No, that’s not what happened. Protesting and challenging voting irregularities is within the constitutional rights of all Americans. If you go by that then we can go back to 2016 Raskin and Hakeem’s didn’t want to certify the duly elected president at that time, that is subverting the Constitution as well.

Thousands were arrested, and more than 500 were imprisoned, some receiving lengthy terms

That won’t be forever, clock is ticking.

They vandalized the building. Stole personal property. Smashed-up offices. They caused $2.73 million of damage. Plenty of online photos and videos.

Trying to prevent the Constitutional handover of power

It will be until they finish their sentences or receive parole. More will receive prison sentences.

University students are not children.

As I do for the mob that rioted and looted and injured and killed cops during the 3 month summer riots of 2020

They vandalized the building.

Defaced and laced with graffiti? Offices smashed to bits.

Stole personal property.

A gavel? How much millions and millions of dollars worth?

Smashed-up offices.

Where? What photos?

They caused $2.73 million of damage. Plenty of online photos and videos.

Ok, so where did that number come from, the Dems posterior derrière?

and attempted to subvert the Constitution.

As the Dems did as well.

Trying to prevent the Constitutional handover of power

Same as what the Dems tried to do.

Thousands were arrested, and more than 500 were imprisoned, some receiving lengthy terms

Again, the clock is ticking on that.

It will be until they finish their sentences or receive parole. More will receive prison sentences.

Or when Trump is back in office then on day one, they’re out.

Trump will not pardon 800+ rioters imprisoned for attacking the Capitol Buildings.
