Anti-Israel Muslim students and their far-left useful idiots have now been arrested at three different Florida universities while participating in pro-Hamas protests including Florida State University, the University of Florida and the University of South Florida.
WFSU Governor Ron DeSantis has praised the crackdown on the protestors, saying he believes they have gotten out of hand. “As much as I disagree with their opinions, you know, they have a right to do that. But you don’t have a right to commandeer the university. You don’t have a right to disrupt, to harass, to intimidate and do all those other things,” he said. “You don’t have a right to pitch a tent in the middle of campus and commandeer some of the property.” He added, “We’re not going to be sitting there, indulging this.”
At USF Tuesday, tear gas was used against protesters. “At one point, the protestors formed a tight circle, interlocking their arms in unison as a show of force. Another protestor began handing out wooden shields and umbrellas, and they used those wooden shields and umbrellas to fortify their stance in the circle. At this time, the protest was no longer peaceful,” he said.
At FSU, five protestors were arrested by university police Tuesday after they pitched tents. Protestors were warned earlier in the week that pitching tents and camping on the campus would get them arrested. Those arrested were members of the suspended student group Tallahassee Students for a Democratic Society, a group that was suspended from campus after disrupting a November FSU Board of Trustees meeting with pro-Palestine chants.
In Gainesville, nine protesters were arrested on UF’s campus Monday. One of the protesters has been charged with battery after allegedly spitting on an officer. The rest are facing various trespassing and resisting arrest charges.
Police deployed tear gas Tuesday afternoon against a circle of University of South Florida students attempting to set up a pro-Palestine encampment on their campus, their second time trying in two days. As police began arresting the protesters who had attempted to hold the line, they threatened press with arrest as well. “You’re about to go too!” they told News2Share contributor David Decker. “Leave!”
After getting tear gassed and witnessing their friends be arrested, other pro-Hamas activists walked gear away from the scene at the the University of South Florida.
HAMAS-front group CAIR-Los Angeles also condemned pro-Israel supporters who were violently attacked by the pro-Jewish genocide Hamas supporters at UCLA.
I went to FSU.
Line the perps against a wall – no blindfold, no last cigarette.
Of course they CAIR condemn the arrests, because they can see themselves being arrested too. If those Muslim students are foreign exchange ones their visas should be pulled and sent home never to return.
I concur completely.
