College campuses in the United States have been experiencing a surge in anti-Israel protests recently, leading to an increase in the number of arrests made by the authorities in an attempt to restore order.
According to the AP, approximately 2,200 individuals have been apprehended during this period of unrest.
Despite the utilization of riot gear, tactical vehicles, and flash-bang devices to disperse tent encampments and occupied structures, there seems to be no indication of the protests subsiding or the arrests ceasing anytime soon.
Interestingly, even amidst these arrests, some students are appealing for preferential treatment and requesting that no official records be maintained regarding their lawful detention.
The AP reports:
“A tally by The Associated Press recorded at least 56 incidents of arrests at 43 different U.S. colleges or universities since April 18.
“The figures are based on AP reporting and statements from universities and law enforcement agencies.”
According to a report by Breitbart News, former President Donald Trump commended the police officers for their commendable actions in apprehending numerous individuals described as “radical left” and anti-Israel “lunatics” at Columbia University and the University of California Los Angeles (UCLA).
Trump, who is currently running as the law and order candidate against President Joe Biden in the upcoming 2024 election, expressed his belief that radical “morons” should not be permitted to seize control of the nation.
Prior to entering a Manhattan courthouse, he conveyed these sentiments to reporters.
“I’m so proud of New York’s finest. They’re great, great people, too. I know so many of them. They’re incredible. They did a job at Columbia. And likewise, in Los Angeles, they did a really good job at UCLA,” Trump said.
“This is a movement from the left, not from the right.
“The right is not the problem despite what law enforcement likes to say.
“The FBI director said that he worries about the right.
“Don’t worry about the right; the right is fine.
“Worry about the left because this is a movement from the left.”

Better late than never, I suppose, but mobs trying to rule HAVE already taken control in the US! Mob induced prosecution and incarceration of law enforcement officers over the deaths of black or brown criminals because the officers were white, in most instances, but really because their intent was to see the criminal individual prosecuted for actual crimes of law breaking, because juries were afraid to exonerate based on evidence, or the lack thereof, lest there be costly and deadly riots has been going on since the ’90s (Rodney King)! Students ruling campuses instead of the “adult” administrations doing so is not new either. These things should have been stopped the minute they started! They are not “protected free speech”, they are anarchist and criminal acts!
