President Biden says he won't be sending in the National Guard to deal with a wave of student-led protests against Israel's war against Hamas. Biden says demonstrators have the right to peacefully protest, but not to cause chaos.

Crews have been cleaning up at the University of California's Los Angeles site hours after police removed barricades and began dismantling a pro-Palestinian protest camp in the early hours of Thursday. Officers arrested dozens of demonstrators in the pre-dawn raid after protesters defied orders to leave.

More than 2,000 people have been arrested on university and college campuses across the US in the last two weeks. - 05/02/2024.

It looked just like a similar bogus demonstrator in the George Floyd riots breaking the window on an auto supply shop with a brand new carpenter’s claw hammer

2. I have no idea why anyone would want to infiltrate a group of demonstrators, but I have no doubt they exist

After what we've seen from TFG and his deluded "supporters" over the past years, it's getting so I'd believe anything.

3. We have to face the fact some people love violence, especially when there's no consequences

Why would anybody bring a hammer to a political demonstration?
