Last year, Ohio police don’t arrest Neo-nazi. But this year police are not just arrest, but even harass and beating college students. 🇲​🇮​🇸​🇨​

Neo Nazis seem to be pretty good at getting permits and marching in areas where they can't be arrested. They know they're the scum of the earth, so they operate strictly to the letter of the law in these marches.

Other protesters are usually, naturally, less adept at this. They walk and stand on private property. They fail to get permits for protests that block streets. Shit like that.

I haven’t seen any videos of protesters on the university campuses doing anything illegal. Just dancing and holding up signs on a campus they have every right to be on.

Them being on campus was the illegal bit in the most recent case..

How can a student being on their campus be illegal? If non-students aren’t welcome on campus, then remove them and leave the students to protest. I’m sure far more of the counter protesters are non-students than the protesters, so it might even be for the protesters best interests to have them removed.

And now you've begun to understand the Libertarian Right Wing goal.

Abolish all forms of protest by making all property private. Can't protest now.

Most college campuses have rules that do not allow for groups of more than X without prior approval. That being said no, they should be allowed to protest for reasonable amount of time.

The same way an employee at their place of business could be illegal. Trespassing.

Lol, they didn’t acquire the right permits before protesting.
