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.

I don't disagree with you in general, I just think in this specific case, the students writing the article are more likely to be sympathetic to the protesters fight against the genocide.

As far as downvoting, don't sweat it, it doesn't bother me. People are allowed to not like what I have to say.
