Are Americans starting to see all their "rights" are meaningless? You know a few you have on paper. The law has another to take it away EVERY SINGLE TIME. You are not free, you are one misguided DAs decision away from jail and destroying your life. Everything is criminal.

Wtf does a rich asshole have to do with college students being arrested like it's Kent State in 1970 all over again?

aniki ,

Why are they being arrested?

pearsaltchocolatebar ,

Because the city banned camping so they can arrest protestors.

aniki ,

What were the protestors protesting?

An easy block here.

I don't give a flying fuck.

Worth noting it’s called the “Kent State Massacre” because the students weren’t just arrested.

Sadly it won’t be surprising if things escalate to that point but thankfully we aren’t there now…

If I'm understanding what you're not flat out saying, I think we need a reminder that: Jews ≠ Israel.

aniki ,

You should remind the police that.

Arresting for what? Does anyone know what the charges were?

I do, because I read the article.

From the article:

Viana said he didn’t know what charges the demonstrators faced but that some will likely be charged with disturbing the peace and others with trespassing.

They also were apparently reading some city anti camping ordinance to the protestors.

Why does the lawyer not know what the charges are? How were they arrested without being charged?

pearsaltchocolatebar ,

You can be arrested just because the cop felt like it. They typically have some time span in which to charge you or they have to let you go.

Cops aren't the ones charging you, that's the DA.

Last year, the mayor deemed it illegal to set up tarps and tents on public property in Boston, specifically to leverage against the growing population of unhoused people. I’m guessing that was cited.
