But not other students lives right? I mean, the whole reason Colombia did what they did was because other students were afraid. More specifically, Jewish students. But, they don’t matter, right?
Hi, just dropping by reading the comments. I believe Jewish students were a part of the protesters so you can’t really go that route without adding a conditional on which Jewish students were in danger.
If I’m reading this right, the groups themselves were peaceful, but individuals which may have been just anti-Israel instead of pro-Palestine or outside agitators taking advantage of the situation stirred things up towards violence.
The administration was ineffective in identifying these individuals or maintaining the overall peace, so instead members of the peaceful groups were arrested in order to shut the whole thing down.
So from this perspective, i can see why you would say that.

Something like this is always the line used when there’s protest violence and you really want to support the cause and so feel a need to minimize or disregard any violence.
It is also a common method used to incite violence at peaceful protests in order to disperse them. This is seen as such more clearly when the individuals apprehended are not the ones causing violence and instead are part of what seems to be the leadership of said protests.
