I laugh and laugh and laugh at the campus protests and the manufactured outrage over them. Why?
How many colleges in the USA? What percentage are being "occupied" by the Palestinian student organizers? Are they violent? Are they civil protests or unduly riots like the Jan 6 event?
Baby Boomers comparing this to 1968 campus unrest?
FOX News going on and on about How "dangerous" breaking up the Colombia occupation of a library building was.
The whole media blowing it up. Pull the cameras back from what we are seeing and one would see how relatively small these protests actually are.
It's too, too funny if one stops and thinks about it.
