    This is proof that those making the decisions fear protest to the same level as they fear long guns.

    One they should fear much less, the other much more.

    What a timeline.

    What a shitty headline.

    It’s a suspension pending hearing. Happens all the time.

    They’re used for a whole host of reasons including things way less serious than taking a gun to school.

    Article chose to paint it this way for clicks and outrage bait.

      And it worked LoL. The simpletons are frothing over the bait. There’s video of one of the protesters at UCLA literally pulling a gun on a guy they thought was pro Israel…but wasn’t LoL he was there to join. He’s been doing pretty funny interviews about it, doesn’t seem like the brightest light.

      I disagree. Protesting with guns just means the whole thing would devolve into a firefight with more civilians than police being killed.

      And there’s the strong likelihood in that situation that innocent bystanders would be murdered.

        It’s not happened like that in the past.

        If protesters are armed then the police tend to back off.

        Of course, the government then has to choose wether or not to drop bombs on the protesters, but the odds are way, way against that.
