For soem reason either my posts are getting deleted or are just no showing up. I keep coming here and the post is there for a second then gone.
So I will make this fourth attempt even shorter. I dont' agree Joe, I TentU was not speaking out against violence or civil rights. They had no cause to resist the police and their requests. They resisted arrest and didn't comply with the police therefore the police had the right to detain them with force. Locking hands and getting together in groups is making it harder for the police to arrest someone without force, next time do what the cops say. I didn't see anyone getting beaten with a baton nor a group of cops harrasing a student who was walking away peacefully.
Don't insult great people from our past like Martin Luther king Jr or Gandhi by trying to say you guys were doing the same thing they were doing. MLKJR and Gandhi where great men trying to free their people and gain equal rights, TentU was not doing the same thing by any means. They could have easily got up and left and came back the next day. TentU leaving for the night and returning the next day would have had the same effect on their "cause" then if they had stayed the night.
I bet you guys are the same people who complain when you get in trouble with RA, why can't you respect people doing their jobs?
