You didn't really answer my questions...

...you just reiterated your talking points that I questioned to begin with. I'm back to the funding thing...so I'll ask again...are you making an explicit accusation that VT is funding something there? If so...who exactly and what exactly? ** Edited by vthokieq at 4/29/2024, 9:37:46 AM

Apparently they gave the squatters an 8:30pm deadline or face arrest
Burruss Writer • 04/28/24 08:23 PM ET
Protestors are hiding behind their children.**
Major Kong • 04/28/24 09:15 PM ET
how serious can you be about school if you are camping during exams
bigbadbird • 04/29/24 01:22 PM ET
Because most are not current students.**
VTaimhigh • 04/29/24 04:23 PM ET
Considering it’s Hamas they’re supporting it’s no surprise.**
BlackwaterHokie • 04/29/24 11:24 AM ET
Taking kids to a political protest should be child endangerment.**

No, but taking them to an illegal encampment where they are trespassing is**

48 hours too late. Should have been done Friday.**
Vienna_Hokie • 04/28/24 08:28 PM ET
This is far from over.
Coattail Hokie • 04/29/24 05:55 AM ET
Maybe you should focus efforts on not harboring Hamas**
ModerateHokie • 04/29/24 09:19 AM ET
"Far from over"?
vthokieq • 04/29/24 08:01 AM ET
Yes, Coattail and his friends are gonna hold their breath now**

What should happen is the state open an investigation into who funded...

As ol' Nan said..."astroturf" (or some thing like that)**
ColoVT82 • 04/29/24 06:47 AM ET
I was there Saturday
Coattail Hokie • 04/29/24 05:58 AM ET
It's not the "what"...it's the "how"**
BleedinOandM • 04/29/24 08:28 AM ET
Protest does not = camping out. Time/place/manner restrictions are
ModerateHokie • 04/29/24 07:46 AM ET
Yet none of which you said..
Coattail Hokie • 04/29/24 07:49 AM ET
Just Google "time, place and manner restrictions" and learn something. **
ModerateHokie • 04/29/24 09:22 AM ET
You're woefully uninformed.
vthokieq • 04/29/24 08:03 AM ET

It's been upheld that schools can put in rules and guidelines to...
vthokieq • 04/29/24 08:13 AM ET
I won't argue you there
Coattail Hokie • 04/29/24 08:19 AM ET
If you don't understand T/P/M restrictions, then yes, you don't understand
ModerateHokie • 04/29/24 09:23 AM ET
Exactly...there should have been "forms" in advance.**
BleedinOandM • 04/29/24 08:29 AM ET
Then they've been in violation since Friday and could've been removed then.
vthokieq • 04/29/24 08:21 AM ET
Once again, no arguments but....
Coattail Hokie • 04/29/24 08:36 AM ET
Absolutely hope it does galvanize students to self-identify
Vienna_Hokie • 04/29/24 10:36 AM ET
Thanks for raising your hand.**
Coattail Hokie • 04/29/24 10:53 AM ET
I doubt it will galvanize "most" students, but it may galvanize the few and
VTaimhigh • 04/29/24 10:14 AM ET
If they weren't removed, then it opens up free camping at VT for everyone..
RUHokie • 04/29/24 09:47 AM ET
Yes! I'm going to ask VT for my parking pass money back!

Coattail Hokie • 04/29/24 09:50 AM ET
they were told to leave and didn't, they chose to be arrested
Vienna_Hokie • 04/29/24 10:24 AM ET
Here's a firsthand post praising how the cops handled the situation last...
RUHokie • 04/29/24 10:08 AM ET
Agree...the protesters should've left when asked. **
vthokieq • 04/29/24 09:52 AM ET
So VT should just ignore their own rules…

"Let these people do whatever they want"
Coattail Hokie • 04/29/24 08:42 AM ET
Blah blah blah ...buzzwords...blah blah blah ... loud noises!
ModerateHokie • 04/29/24 09:25 AM ET
"Gaslighting"
vthokieq • 04/29/24 08:43 AM ET
Good Question
Coattail Hokie • 04/29/24 08:55 AM ET
Why does Russia get a greenlight killing Ukranian women and children?
EmpireHokie • 04/29/24 11:48 AM ET
Quite possibly the reason is
Coattail Hokie • 04/29/24 11:57 AM ET
so it's ok then**
EmpireHokie • 04/29/24 11:59 AM ET
Yes it's okay..
Coattail Hokie • 04/29/24 12:06 PM ET
I happen to have Ukranian relatives and have lost an uncle
EmpireHokie • 04/29/24 01:09 PM ET
I'm sorry
Coattail Hokie • 04/29/24 01:13 PM ET
So much to unpack here.

Educated response.**
Coattail Hokie • 04/29/24 09:42 AM ET
It's the only appropriate one there.
vthokieq • 04/29/24 09:51 AM ET
Again I agree
Coattail Hokie • 04/29/24 09:14 AM ET
Funny how often you agree with me.
vthokieq • 04/29/24 09:22 AM ET

EDGEMAN • 04/29/24 06:26 AM ET
There was zero security involved
Coattail Hokie • 04/29/24 06:46 AM ET
I saw a picture of the "protestor" holding up the "kill all Jews" poster
EDGEMAN • 04/29/24 08:36 AM ET
I totally agree with what you said
Coattail Hokie • 04/29/24 08:40 AM ET
What about "From the river to the sea"? **
ModerateHokie • 04/29/24 09:28 AM ET
I really don't understand the phrase
Coattail Hokie • 04/29/24 09:37 AM ET
That "phrase" states the Arabic goal since Israel was established in 1948
TomTurkey • 04/29/24 05:52 PM ET
I understand the history
Coattail Hokie • 04/29/24 06:01 PM ET
Israel said enough is enough and it is too much, or is it? I'm not there.

You should understand what it means if you want to have credibility here.

My last comments: Hamas could care less about the people of Gaza. If so,
VTaimhigh • 04/29/24 07:25 PM ET

You don't understand how that phrase is being used? Right.

calihokie • 04/29/24 11:44 AM ET

Coattail Hokie • 04/29/24 11:55 AM ET
All those deaths would be the fault of Hamas**

So how many protests did you attend/stand up for right after Oct 7?
