There will be free food at the revolution.
one group organizing the Auraria campus pro-Hamas idiocy is SDS (Students for a Democratic Society).
wait. wut?
no, not your grandpa’s SDS that birthed the 70s Weather Underground of Bill Ayers & Bernardine Dohrn.

And yet the offer still didn’t draw more than a couple hundred students from a campus population of some 42,000.
Apparently, the revolution is very short-staffed in Colorado during final exams.
Denver Mayor Johnston made a brief appearance on the occupied lawn Friday night long enough to tell protestors their tents violated campus policy.
He gave them 30 minutes to disassemble the tents, assuring them, “We have no desire to make arrests.”
To which one protestor responded: “You fucking fascist!”
Democrat Mayor of Denver Mike Johnston went to the pro-Hamas encampment at Auraria campus yesterday and begged protesters to dismantle everything and just protest like normal.
Unsurprisingly, this accomplished nothing.pic.twitter.com/AEALjYu7jU

Throughout history, famous fascists like Benito Mussolini and Adolf Hitler were notorious for their ruthless assaults on the pop-up tents of privileged college students.
Despite Johnston’s anti-tent demands, the pro protest protesters remain defiant against The Man in their shaded encampments, with free food and bottled water.

There doesn’t seem to be much use for police to move in and arrest protestors for breaking any law, save for serious assaults.
The protestors would just be released from jail immediately, and the department likely sued for police brutality and taxpayers stuck with the bill for millions in frivolous lawsuits.
The universities where protests are unfolding have encouraged this kind of activity for decades now. Let them reap what they sow.
