Did Abbott actually send them? Or where they called for by the University? Answer: The University President called the police and had the protestors removed for trespass. LINK: Texas Gov. Abbott faces backlash after mass arrest at UT Austin pro-Palestine protest | The Hill IE: They were arrested for trespass and not because they were exercising their 1st Amendment. Additionally, Abbott had nothing to do with it. Except maybe support the police doing their jobs. This knowledge was simple to dig up.

Lol, you live in a very strange world, where you see wanting to stop the slaughter of innocents as terrorism, and apparently seeing those damned red communists everywhere, where the argument has nothing to do with economic systems.
So, in your world adults shouldn't stand up against the slaughter of innocents and stand up for freedom for the oppressed? Just keep your head low and do as your told? Sorry, but that sounds downright unamerican of you. We don't fall into line because our government says to in this country. We have a bit of a rebellious streak going back to, well, the birth of our nation.
Because that is what these students are doing, and you are basically calling them immature spoiled brats. They are bravely telling our supposed 'leaders' to go to hell and to stop supporting death and oppression, and for some reason you don't like that.
9/11 was perpetrated by people the American government funded in Afghanistan to fight the Soviets. Hamas was funded by the Israeli government for years. By your logic, neither the American government nor the Israeli government is our friend. I agree.
People's right to protest is not unlimited. Your rights end at the tip of the nose of infringement on another person's rights. i.e., you don't have rights that allow you to take away another person's rights. It's that simple. These protestors who desire to make their point heard by taking away others rights, such as blocking a highway, should be run over.
Hamas received money from the Israeli government because of the understanding or perhaps hope that Hamas would use the money for public goods like roads and hospitals. Hamas used it for arms and tunnels instead with hospitals shielding their military operations.
No, focusing on the actions of the few fringe elements instead of the overall message of the protests is very picked information. You are focusing on what the MSM, the propaganda mouthpiece of the uniparty that is invested in massive arms sales and the money from elite special interests, wants you to hear. Don't fall for the BS. Do you really think that all of those college kids, my kids included, want death and terror inflicted on innocent Israelis? No, of course not. They want an end to the indiscriminate slaughter of innocent Palestinian civilians that had nothing to do with October 7th. They want peace for both sides, and do not support the terror of Hamas any more than they support the slaughter the IDF is inflicting. There is a huge difference between supporting Hamas and wanting an end to the slaughter of innocents.
You mistake the students and faculty which are the United States with the paid professional protesters sent by marxist organizations to damage the United States as they seek to replace capitalism as our economic system. Did you not notice the tents? The students and faculty didn't need those. This is a repeat of 2020. Then the "issue" was police racism. This year it is anti-semitism. You are rooting for the destruction of America as we know it. You couldn't be more wrong.
You are correct. I didn't like any of it. I didn't call them brats. They are simply ignorant youth. I was one of them long ago.
Your kids have a right to free speech. They don't have a right to impose on the rights of others. That's an important lesson to learn for the "everybody is a winner and gets a prize" generation.
Any members of congress who vote to directly fund Hamas or back pro-Hamas groups within the USA? Absolutely they should be called out. But who exactly would that be? Note that being for the human rights of Palestininan's and wanting them not to die isn't the same as supporting Hamas.
These students are being down a marxist path by well funded professional protesters. There isn't an ounce of bravery in what they did. Just youthful ignorance.
Does an ally attack your Navy vessels and kill your sailors? Does an ally attack your Constitution and its principles? Israel is not our ally. You have been conditioned to believe that it is. You've been fooled.
Glenn Greenwald and Kim Iversen, both at Rumble, showed video of Abbott from 2019 and then very recently. I'm sorry I don't have the time to dig up the video for you, but it shows Abbott's flaming hypocrisy in this matter of the First Amendment rights regarding free speech. I had greatly admired Abbott, and for that matter DeSantis and Noem, but recent events and actions on their parts show them to be just another group of Israeli First governors. By their actions as elected officials, they have clearly demonstrated how and why we are today the United States of Israel. It's been going on for decades, but this contemporary group is just the current example.
You were not ignorant back then. You just became a propagandized robot that has forgotten what really matters. I hope that doesn't happen to these kids.
Israel didn't intentionally attack any of our naval vessels. The Canadians and Brits attack our Constitution and it's principles all the time. I bet you still call them out allies. Canada has gone so far as to undermine our war effort and to aid abett our enemy. They harbored United States citizens who were fugitives of justice. Are they our ally?
