Protests calling for universities to boycott companies and individuals with ties to Israel amid the ongoing war there have swept college campuses across the US.
Tensions have been escalating at universities in the wake of the 7 October attack by Hamas that left around 1,200 people dead in Israel, and led to Israel's assault on Gaza that has killed more than 34,000 Palestinians.

We continue to walk that thin line between Constitutional rights and safety of other citizens, between democracy and anarchy.
As long as the protest are peaceful, I see no justification for interference by the authorities.
"I MAY NOT AGREE WITH WHAT YOU SAY BUT I SHALLE DEFEND TO THE DEATH YOUR RIGHT TO SAY IT."

1.) US senator recommends ripping skin off Gaza protesters
20 April 2024
Tom Cotton, the bellicose US senator from Arkansas, is not satisfied with pushing to employ the US military against Black Lives Matter and antifa protesters.
He’s now encouraging vigilante violence against Gaza genocide activists.
On Monday, he proposed throwing protesters in American cities off bridges. He urged people stuck in traffic related to Gaza genocide protests to take violent action.
“I encourage people who get stuck behind the pro-Hamas mobs blocking traffic: take matters into your own hands to get them out of the way.”
Protesters for Palestinian freedom are “pro-Hamas mobs” to Cotton, a man who inveighs against over-taxing but on the American tax day promotes bodily harm against those protesting US tax money fueling war crimes and genocide.

A.) Demonstrations and Political Violence in America: New Data for Summer 2020
Introduction
The United States is at heightened risk of political violence and instability going into the 2020 general election. Mass shootings hit a record high last year (BBC, 29 December 2019), violent hate crimes are on the rise (Al Jazeera, 13 November 2019), and police killings continue unabated, at 2.5 times the rate1 for Black men as for white men (FiveThirtyEight, 1 June 2020; Nature, 19 June 2020). The COVID-19 pandemic has killed well over 180,000 (New York Times, 3 September 2020) and disrupted the economy, while George Floyd’s death in police custody has sparked a massive wave of protest across the country.

B.) History of Riots and Protests in the U.S.
Riot is a violent offense against public order involving three or more people. Like an unlawful assembly, a riot involves a gathering of persons for an illegal purpose.
* In contrast to an unlawful assembly, however, a riot involves violence.
