Violence erupted at the University of California, Los Angeles after pro-Israeli counter-demonstrators attacked a pro-Palestinian campus encampment. Bubbling tensions on the campus boiled over following the alleged breach of a “buffer zone” between the rival groups.

    They were there counter-protesting and then attacked the pro-palenstine protesters. Why do you object to an accurate description of the events?

      It seems like you’re having a difficult time understanding this, maybe I can help. If another group of people showed up, and they had signs, and maybe bullhorns, and they started protesting the opposite of what the original people were protesting, they would be counter-protesting. Some heckling could even be involved.

      When they show up wearing masks and wielding baseball bats, they are not counter-protestors. They are violent criminals. They did not show up to protest. They showed up to insight violence.

        Im not, and your childish insults don’t make you right. There’s not dress code for protesters, and your No True Scotsman fallacy doesn’t win your argument any points. The Counter-protesters were counter-protesting, then they attacked the protesters. It’s a simple concept to grasp.

        Just because it doesn’t tell the narrative you wish it to tell isn’t my fault. It’s just the facts as they happened, not an opinion piece.

        Now go insult someone else for their ability to read.

      Protestors: Less filling!

      Counter Protestors: Taste great!

      not

      Protestors: Stop funding genocide, my college!

      Counter Protestors: We’re going to beat you with bats while you sleep!

      you disingenuous, festering carbuncle.

        Name-calling when you can’t come up with an argument. Typical

                    You’re not very good at trying to read my mind over the Internet. Or insults.
