Democratic rep says Biden focused on ensuring ‘consequences are proportionate’ for student protesters
The Hill ^ | 05/05/2024 | SARAH FORTINSKY

Rep. Jennifer McClellan (D-Va.), a surrogate for President Biden’s reelection campaign, said on Sunday Biden is focused on ensuring “proportionate” consequences for student protesters.

In an interview on NewsNation’s “The Hill on Sunday,” Chris Stirewalt asked McClellan how Biden was navigating the opposing tensions on his base, with some embracing the student protesters’ viewpoints and others raising concerns about violations of the law and incidents of antisemitism.

This has nothing to do with federal law enforcement. Who cares about a president’s opinion. Stupid question stupid article stupid idiotocracy.

WHO ORDERED OVER A THOUSAND TENTS.

WHO DESIGNED SLOGANS AND TEXT FOR THE SIGNS.

WHAT COMPANY PRINTED THE SIGNS. Who attacted the sticks?

WHO SUPPLIED THE 8,000 MUSLIM SCARVES THAT WERE WORN AS MASKS AND SHAWLS (bought for a large number of colleges)

What organization can ‘get away with this under the radar stuff’ WITHOUT ONE PERSON LEAKING WHO’S BEHIND IT?

If the goal is to push Netanyahu to resign - who holds that position?

Is a US government organization involved? Or a foreign government group? It takes months to organized on this level and months to buy the props, hire drummers, coordinate fake student to ‘prime the pump’... Was this a part of Octomer 7th?


WHO PAID THE WAY FOR OUTSIDERS TO COME AND WHO ARRANGED FOR THEM TO BE ON CAMPUS

WHO PAYS THE DRUMMERS

WHO PAID FOR THE FOOD AND FLARES? HOW WERE THOSE ITEMS transported.Is our government assisting? Why isn’t the FBI looking into this?

(1) Try, convict, and jail/fine per applicable laws for any and all illegal acts.

(2) Suspend and expel students from the schools.

(3) Revoke student visas for all non-citizens and immediately deport them once they have served jail time or in leu of jail time, with permanent bar on reentry into the US.

Proportionate means they'd better find some Jews to prosecute also.

Guess that doesn’t apply to Jan 6ers.

You don’t restore order with “proportionate” consequences.

You impose consequences that lawbreakers are too terrified to risk.

This is none of the President’s business. Now allowing an invasion of our country by millions of illegals, that should be the President’s business.

Nothing will be done to them - in contrast to the J6 protesters.

You're right. J6 was a protest that went bad for FOUR HOURS. No spray painting, no fires, no flares, no multiple sites, no hidden organizers behind the protest.

None of the people behind this current demonstration/riot will spend even a week in jail. NOT ONE PERSON. The FBI not only won't look at his obvious horror, they'll hurt anyone who tries to look at it. FBI - dirty cop filth...or totally incompetent.

Guaranteed Federal jobs upon graduation or release from jail...whichever comes last.

” Democratic rep says Biden focused on ensuring ‘consequences are proportionate’ for student protesters”

So if they cause $10 million in damages to school buildings they should reimburse the school for that cost right Joe... and that will probably happen when Hell freezes over.

Exactly right!

"Proportionate" has an air of "break-even" about it which can be a sucker bet, in this case for the public.

There is simply no way to know the extent of damage caused when a violent group disturbs the peace and shatters the ordinary course of civil events. Beyond collateral physical damage there are such things as the cancellation of graduations, etc.

The terrorists behavior was 1000 times worse than the J6 freedom fighters. Yet Islamic terrorists go free and patriots languish in a DC gulag. Comparing the antifada to J6 is a good tactic.

Aggressive protests diminished significantly after the Kent State shootings, when protesters realized that they were throwing stuff at armed men with loaded weapons.

Protests would stop if riot cops waded in with batons, and broke bones and skulls. But the cops know THEY would be heavily prosecuted by the same DAs who release the protesters without charges or bail.

“proportionate”

To the treatment of the Jan 6 protestors? Yeah, I didn’t think so.

No. No. Conservative white male MAGA conspiracy theorist gun owners who go to white Christian churches are the ONLY existential threat to democracy of the polietariat social-communists.

By proportionate consequences he means jail the Jews and release the rioters.
