They were arrested for just being there. This is absolute bullshit. In the 90s, there was a protest camp there against the Gulf War that was there 24/7. I know because I was in it sometimes, helping to cook food and do other things to keep it a place to live in.
In the 80s, there was a semi-permanent shantytown there to protest South African apartheid.
This is utter bullshit.
33 anti-genocide protesters arrested at Dunn Meadow encampment Thursday
Fixed
Believe me, if I could have done that in the title, I sure as hell would have. This is absolutely unacceptable.
It’s a play on words purposefully used by the US media in order to frame the protests as a versus. “If it’s pro-palestine then it must be anti-israel.” I’ve seen Canadian articles that call them “Gaza protests”, which is far more accurate.
Don’t you know? You’re not allowed to protest anymore unless you have permits haha
So fucking nuts. Dunn Meadow has a long history of hosting student protests. My dad was a professor and he told me about the anti-Vietnam protests there in the 60s when students occupied the park.
