They'll have their bail paid and charges dropped so they can repeat this elsewhere. Especially in an election year. Bau
Why would you want to do that? Let's start with actually charging them with what they were arrested for. Not asking too much.
I'm not sure that it's somehow "better" that universities are letting (or in this case, not) outsiders not affiliated with their organizations take over their campus. All the more reason to call the cops sooner rather than later if that's the case.
I would be interested in knowing who pays their bail.
Paid for protesting by the left. Amazing people are just getting around to noticing this. When I go camping, I always notice every single person has the exact same tent!
Yeah, but then they can repeat it elsewhere. Shootin' just seems like the logical option.
It’s going to be such a disaster. My cop buddies have told me not to come to the city at all during the dnc.

I volunteer with a prominent inner city economic development organization. They have already had multiple meetings with police, etc on ways the community can try to suppress any violence associated with the DNC (on top of the usual Chicago violence).
Alas I suspect there will be a large number of outside agitators amplifying the situation. The same playbook it appears we are seeing on college campuses.
To some extent, at least to begin with, I’m not sure how you stop the initial protest or whatever getting set up, campuses have god knows how many non-students/staff and such on campus on any given day. Once they’re identified that’s a different story, tho that darn first amendment gets in the way too.
Send them to Palestine and see what Hamas will do to them in less than 24 hours. I’m sure they wouldn’t last a day.
If they were letting them, there would be no reason to arrest them, would there?
First amendment isn’t going to obviate trespass.
You can protest all you want, just not on my lawn.
And they is already a huge cop shortage. Everyone will be protecting the UC and downtown. RIP neighborhoods.
Is it necessarily trespassing if they’re public universities? For the most part they’ve just camped out on commons.
The ones that have broken into buildings are fair game tho.

They are impeding others, preventing fair use of the space, destroying the green space with tents etc. Most public space still requires a permit for larger gatherings - especially those that will last a while. You can’t just throw Lollapalooza in the Chicago’s Grant Park without permits for example.
