That seems to be the attitude percolating through much of these protests: That they can break the law, engage in shenanigans, incluidng occupying and trashing the interior of buildings, and nothing bad will happen to them. They'll get to go back to school, graduate, and go on to have fine careers with no indication of committing felonies or misdemeanors.
Because they (mostly) white kids who have known privilege all of their lives, the kind of privilege when the cops pull over their parents, the cops call them "sir" or "ma'am" with not even a prospect of a beat-down.
Maybe I'm wrong.
I don't think I am.
See, in those schools, in the graduations coming up, there are some kids who are the first ones in their families to graduate college or get a professional degree. To themand their families, graduting college (or medical or law school) is A Really Big Deal. The families are proud and they want to take in the event; an event which is being canceled because a bunch of white kids who couldn't have found Gaza on a map seven months ago are now pitching tantrum like a pack of lemmings who can't find the cliff edge.
And I don't think I'm wrong about that, either.
