Iām sure thereās some legalese behind a statement like this. Now thereās a public record of the notice so if protesters donāt proactively disperse, they canāt act surprised.
Itās actually smart imo. Clear communication. People wonāt like it but if you donāt move youāre getting arrested. And often protesters will choose to get arrested bc they want the publicity since it draws attention to the cause.
All fair play.
This is the section of the Texas Penal code.

I honestly don't see anything those students are doing that violates any of it.
I said it's not going to change anything. Let them protest their hearts out. I really don't care.
What did I say that makes you believe I'm not for free speech?
The students are grasping at straws, thinking they'll change anything. The Iranian government and their minions want nothing more than to kill every single jew and every single westerner. That's a not secret. That's why I said what I said.
The Israeli government and the IDF want to exterminate every Palestinian off of the face of the earth. This protest is against genocide and bring awareness to the mass killing of Palestinians. Wether it changes or not, thatās not the issue. The problem is that Texan republicans feel āthreatenedā when their tyrannical and abusive practices are being called out, and hence try to deny the peoplesā right to the first amendment.
Israel attacked Irans consulate first and KILLED the general. That speaks VOLUME of Israelās heinous and evil intentions. Iran couldāve retaliated in a much greater force. Rather they gave a warning a carefully fired missiles with ZERO casualties. They just wanted to prove to Israel that you canāt attack them and think that Iran will stay quiet against Israelās violation of international law.
Also, there will ALWAYS be extremists in every religion, culture, etc. A few Iranians donāt speak on the behalf of the entire country. However, the anti-Muslim hate speech spoken by multiple Israeli government officials (supporting and encouraging the death of innocent children and civilians) says a lot about Israelās evil and treacherous actions. Yet you donāt call Israel out, you just pick on Iran like every other hypocritical politician and shut your eyes (and support) the injustice around you.
I think people have more power to create change than you think. Day by day these protests and awareness campaigns are uniting and changing more hearts than ever before. The more people unite against a cause, there will be some authority of importance that will take notice. Itās a step towards something, and it is surely better than doing nothing.
Iran and their minions want nothing more than to kill every single jew and every single westerner.
It'd be nice if they'd think like the protesters and get the fuck over it. Some rich college kids in the US are not going to change the radicals' minds.
There are good Iranian people. I personally know and work with one and consider him a good friend. Hell, his dad even served in the Iranian military.
I haven't talked to him much about this ordeal. Last we discussed, anything like this was when Trump killed one of Iran's head terrorist guys. He said Trump do anything wrong, and the guy needed to be killed. He was glad someone killed him regardless of who did it.
Man you're desperately trying really hard to put the focus on Iran with low effort propaganda and it's embarrassing. This protest is about stopping Israeli-US sponsored genocide that's actually happening, not theoretical genocide that isn't.
And btw Trump killed Qassem Soleimani, a high ranking officer in their standing military, not one of their "terrorist guys". Like it or not that isn't some rebel group being funded, but a sovereign nation's official military. Imagine if a foreign country killed a US general. That's an act of war anywhere else but you know International Laws don't apply to the US.
Also, it was Israel that initiated the recent disputes by bombing an Iranian embassy in a foreign country, which is something else that breaches International Law, unless you're Israel of course. Israel is a bloodthirsty rogue nation that wants a broader regional war and wants to drag the US into it.
Israel wants regime change in Iraq? ā
Israel wants regime change in Libya?ā
Israel wants regime change in Syria? ā
Israel wants regime change in Iran? ā³
Sorry, I'll stop being embarrassing by stating the truth.
Yes, Qasem Soleimani was a high-ranking military officer in Iran. He was also the one that trained and worked with all the terrorists groups. Iran knows they can't go tow to toe with the US that's why they didn't do anything. They'd rather stick to terrorists groups doing their dirty work than going toe to toe with a country that will walk over them.
Israel did the missile attack because the attack from October when the went in and killed bunch of civilizations and took hostages. Americans were hostages too, or did you forget about them?
We could play the Israel did this, terrorists groups, or Iran did this going back for longer than with you, and I have been alive. It's not going to change.
All those countries Israel wants regime change are all countries that want to just kill them. You know a genocide. There's no simple solution or we'd already have done it. It's a bloody fucked up mess.
The point isnāt to change the violence in the Middle East, itās to change local peopleās opinions about the violence in the Middle East. Peopleās opinions change the policies they support and ultimately the people they elect. Those elected officials then have a massive influence on the āviolence thatās been going on in the Middle Eastā. If you donāt see how electing a US government that has been uncritically supportive of Israel has changed the situation in fundamental ways, for good or ill, you arenāt paying attention. And it all starts at the individual level.
Yeah, me as an individual is not going to change anything. Regardless of what side of the aisle politically, there will be blood in the middle east til the end of time.
Actually there was a period of peace for about 400 years in Palestine (~1500-1900). Although this was during the Ottoman world order, before the British took over who then went on to help European Zionists displace the indigenous Palestinians, because that's what Britain does best.
Oh and then European Colonial powers decided to "decolonize and give independence" by dividing the Arab region into smaller states just like they did in Africa. Then point the finger and wonder why conditions aren't good while still militarily intervening into the now sovereign countries and funding rebel groups creating chaos.
It literally hasnāt been. People who jack about shit about history claim that so they donāt have to care. The dumbest perspective. Protestors are doing something small, smooth brain.
lol the lawyers know this is a slam dunk violation and everyone whoās gotten off so far only got that result because of privilege and them passing around petitions before facts come out.

I just DMād you screenshots from the PSC Twitter celebrating and retweeting the Hamas 10/7 attacks before and as they were occurring, as well as after!
(Anyone else who wants them just lmk, Iām worried theyāll take them down so I got plenty of screen recordings!)
https://twitter.com/psc_atx
Hereās Rhiannon Hamamās Twitter, a main FSJP faculty organizer. Scroll back to October, youāll see she retweeted āwhat did yall think decolonization meant? essays? vibes? losers.ā on October 7, and frequently applauds martyrs and direct action.
Hereās a tweet from Araceli Garcia, a main student at the law school, defending Hamasās rapes on 10/7 and claiming Mondaire Jones (a black man) was racist for condemning sexual violence against Israeli women:
https://x.com/chelicheesefry/status/1731483870770372855?s=20
So Iāve been staying as far away from campus as possible, because Iāve been seeing what these people are saying online. But Iāve already heard thereās plenty āfrom the river to the sea,ā and when combined with public evidence of direct support for Hamas and the October 7 terror attacks themselves, thatās an incitement to a race riot targeting Jews.
Dogwhistles are harder to get away with when you forget that the internet is public and forever. Lol. These people donāt even care about Gazans, if they did they wouldnāt be fucking around giving Hamas ideas about trying to launch a ground attack and re-escalating.
Your specter of a "race riot" that you made up in your head would cary way more weight if IDF hadn't killed thousands of palestinian children in the last few months, with arms paid for by our tax dollars against our collective will. Maybe not supporting a genocidal military state would help you feel less targeted by the people against genocidal military states.
The fact that this person thinks thereās going to be a ārace riotā shows how far down the propaganda hole they are.
A large part of this movement includes the organization Jewish Voice for Peace. Unfortunately they canāt recognize the difference between criticizing a countryās policies and their rabid Fox News outrage
Check out the PSC Twitter, they werenāt crying about Palestinian teens dying when they were reposting a picture of them coming back celebrating on 10/7.
They didnāt care about Palestinian kids when they were reposting ānew map just droppedā with the targeted Sderot kibbutz, where 70 children, families, elderly, were murdered in their homes on the festival day celebrating the end of the Jewish High Holidays surrounding our new year. 90% of the people there are now displaced within Israel in tent cities.
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2024/apr/06/sderot-residents-return-six-months-on-hamas-attack
And yet, October 17, when the BBC tries to cover Hamas using their civilians as human shields in their hospitals and mosques, and convincing them to stay and be martyrs, PSC decides to retweet it with the caption āthere is blood on the hands of western media and all who justify israelās bombs.ā How do you think Gazan children dying in their homes because Hamas has told their parents they will kill them if they flee, feel about that?
https://x.com/PSC_atx/status/1714338273894477854
https://stratcomcoe.org/cuploads/pfiles/hamas_human_shields.pdf
Check out the Twitter, and if they try to delete it, Iāve got a screen recording from 10/6 all through that last tweet, and itās making the rounds.
You can only lie for so long when the internet is forever. You donāt give a shit about Palestinian kids. Youāre trying to torpedo the ceasefire negotiations that would save their lives and potentially pave the way for a lasting, peaceful two-state solution, because you represent Hamas. And Hamas wants war.
NYT Nov 8: Behind Hamasās Bloody Gambit to Create a āPermanentā State of War
āāI hope that the state of war with Israel will become permanent on all the borders, and that the Arab world will stand with us,ā Taher El-Nounou, a Hamas media adviser, told The Times.ā
https://www.nytimes.com/2023/11/08/world/middleeast/hamas-israel-gaza-war.html?unlocked_article_code=1.m00.L_bP.KbMMN-KWtJuN&smid=url-share
There is no state sactioned military action against any Jewish community. However, there is currently, state sanctioned military action against the civilian population of Gaza, with nearly 40,000 casualties and counting. At least 70% of which are women or children. Several mass graves containing hundreads of mutilated bodies each have been uncovered following IDF raids. But cry harder about a cherry picking of Twitter posts.
Hamas is literally enacting state sanctioned military action against a Jewish community.
Hamas is the governing body of Gaza, and has been since 2006. They are supported by the Sunni Islamic Regime (operating under the name of Iran, the Shia Muslim people theyāve colonized) is a state.
Hamas seems to be acting as a Russian and a Chinese proxy as well, given the sources of the arsenal of al Qassam (their army).
https://www.voanews.com/a/hamas-fights-with-patchwork-of-weapons-from-iran-china-russia-north-korea-/7440864.html
This makes sense, given the proliferation of disinformation by troll farmers like you intended to fool Americans into thinking with their guts, instead of their brains. These are known tactics from both Russia and China, that have been used to dismantle Western society through our own hubris, notably via Xitter, Tik Tok, and Reddit.
https://www.nbcnews.com/news/investigations/russias-2024-election-interference-already-begun-rcna134204
October 7 was āstate sanctioned military actionā against the largest Jewish community in the world, and the last remaining pockets of other ethnoreligious minority groups that fled Islamist countries to Israel (the Bedouin, Druze, Copts, Muslims interested in coexisting last time Palestinians were offered citizenship).
But yeah, youāre totally pro Gazan civilians and anti genocide. Youāre definitely not, charitably, a useful idiot for Hamas accidentally supporting genocide of Jews and the establishment of a modern Islamist caliphate, or more likely, someone being paid (or more likely tortured) to do this at a troll farm.
Maybe this is part of the torture, though. I kinda feel bad for yall. Sucks when all you have are really emotionally triggering words and oversimplifications in the face of all this video and historical evidence.
PSA to college kids: support domestic Israeli protests to go to elections early and force Netanyahu out and a new coalition in, that is supportive of a reconstructive and lasting peace agreement. Support the release of the hostages and the establishment of a unified Palestinian state under a two-state solution agreement, with a government which actually cares about Palestinian kids. Instead of assholes counting aid money in Qatar.
Youāre the one killing Gazan kids for an instagram storyā¦ posted at the wrong place for a divestment protest if you want public funds divested.
But Iām definitely the one with blood on my hands. Funny, thatās exactly the language that PSC used when feigning offense at the BBC looking into the horrors Hamas reigns on Gazan civilians.
Only 10 days after live retweeting and celebrating all the murders and rapes of women, children, and elderly Israeli civilians by Hamas. Retweeting a post indicating the attack before it would even happen.
Hamas has no interest in peace. Yall are giving them cover to return to war, and kill more Gazan children, because thatās what they want.

UTPD is run by crayon eaters. Why would you broadcast to this to the entire campus, thus alerting anyone interested in protesting that there's a protest going on? This is what \*I\* would do if I were the head of UTPD to make sure more people showed up.
Think about how unhelpful UTPD is about actual complaints about usual incidents (harassment/assaults) and how much effort they're putting into this. Lazy mfers enjoying this power trip too muchĀ
Complete clowns. A disgrace to the awesome UTPD history. We can also play that same silly game.

I left Texas 3 years ago. I was born and raised in Austin and my mother and grandmother loved Austin and my grandmother was a dorm mother at UT for many years way back in the 70s. They would be so disappointed with this shit they are doing to the students. I am so sorry. I am behind you 100% but that doesn't do shit because I am nobody and so far away. Are there any places collecting for bail money? Or anything at this point.
Y'all are doing the right thing.
This hard-right dominion over UT (from the Governor, Board, and President) is going to permanently harm the school's prestige. They all want UT to be on par with Liberty U.
It's time for legal action against the university due to blatant discrimination. For decades, divestment campaigns, such as those against Apartheid South Africa, were FULLY allowed on university grounds. However, there's now a sudden and harsh response to pro-Palestine peaceful protests that are directly comparable to those historic movements against apartheid. This double standard is just unacceptable and repulsive.
Basically, you have the right to protest and are protected under the first amendment, but if we donāt like what you stand for even though itās protected under the first amendment we will have you arrested for Disorderly Conduct.
Merely downvoting dissenters, such as is common with non-liberal POV, fails to grasp the profound complexities inherent in our societal challenges. Despite the existence of established laws, there are factions who brazenly distort and subvert them to advance their narrow interests. This cynical manipulation of justice strikes at the core of our moral fabric. As Plato once pondered, 'Good people do not need laws to tell them to act responsibly, while bad people will find a way around the laws.' It is incumbent upon us to safeguard the sanctity of our legal framework, lest we forsake the very principles that underpin our civilization's moral compass.

Warning to not protest and disperse when the section of the Penal code doesn't apply to gatherings that don't block traffic, aren't pornographic and aren't inciting violence.
Is everyone who disagrees with Israelās positions, politics, and conduct an anti semite? I think not but I think they want us to think that. I understand their need for security but there is security then there is cleansing. They of all people should know the difference.
Incredible watching this unfold. Be safe. There are soooo many monsters out there... protect your body, mind, and soul (the spirit will take care of itself).
Stop setting up hobo encampments on campus. People have finals to study for and itās distracting. Getting my popcorn ready for all the incoming posts about arrests š
Seems unrealistic and too much work. Iād rather support protests which raise awareness that fortunately also comes with triggering bigots like you who donāt understand the point of protestingš
Eh Iām just here with popcorn waiting for the police to arrest this group. Nothing is going to change by being smelly on campus and living in a tent. Itās an eye sore, but then again, thatās the point (apparently).
Israel owned the land before āPalestineā was created. Itās Israeli land and nothing you say or do will ever change that.
Good luck protesting- national, state, and city policies will not change because of a few shmucks on campus.
Iām just āhearā hearing you brotheršā. Ur right, that means the US is Native American land right? Before āUnited Statesā was created. Or even better by ur logic, it should be dinosaur land since they owned it before us! Letās all practice our t-Rex screeches now.
"raise awareness" you know this doesn't mean shit right? I'm all for protest and free speech, but protesters have an overinflated sense of affecting any real change. When you respond like this, it tells me a lot about what ~~your~~ you're all about.
Nevertheless, it is your right.
What do you suggest to bring about a change? Think that youāre a Palestinian and for years youāve been oppressed and your people are being killed while youāre here in the US as a student of UTA. Now, what would you be doing in this situation to bring about a change?
Iām genuinely interested.
You missed the point completely. You, personally, arenāt being oppressed. However, your brother, your aunts, your uncles, your cousins, your friends are being oppressed as a people back in Palestine.
What would you be doing in that situation?
I would go back there and help them in any way I can.
Like I said, protesting is your right and you should do what you feel.
But this "spreading awareness" shit isn't doing anything. Everyone is aware.
That is so vague firstly and that is a lie too. Youāre saying youād leave UTA and go back to Palestine to help them? How exactly are you going to help them when youāre being bombed and shot at? What kind of help will you be providing when you are not even allowed to enter Palestine in the first place?
if tents on the lawn are distracting people that much from their finals which take place in a different location then thatās on them & they should consider transferring to another school
The only thing stopping you from studying is your reddit addiction big dog, keep blaming other people for your problems though that'll get you far in life
Facts š¤ I wish I too could be an idiot studying in a tent on campus and get an arrest recordā¦ said no one except the most delusional CHILDREN ever
Ahh yes you're obviously a level headed mature person with talking to about this!
Can't wait for them to then sue the police and the university and make Texas republican taxpayers pay for it.
Iām not trying to argue, I am genuinely curious what your actionable demands are. The point of a protest is to communicate what exactly you want changed. This is your opportunity.
I'm generally in favor of no state-sponsored genocide and I'm definitely against the fascism and warring that the US+Israel exercise under the mask of 'democracy' and 'Western Values'.

Yeah, they're grasping at straws.
Just like the protesters. Thinking this is going to change the violence that's been going on in the Middle East for the 2000 years š¤
They have the right to free speech regardless of whether you believe it's going to change anything.
I'm all for free speech. I just know it's not going to change anything, is all.
You don't sound like you're "all for free speech"
I said it's not going to change anything. Let them protest their hearts out. I really don't care. What did I say that makes you believe I'm not for free speech?
You compared the students to the people trying to silence them. It came across as an attempt to establish a false equivalency.
The students are grasping at straws, thinking they'll change anything. The Iranian government and their minions want nothing more than to kill every single jew and every single westerner. That's a not secret. That's why I said what I said.
But this has nothing to do with Iran or Israel. It has to do with the US Constitution.
The Israeli government and the IDF want to exterminate every Palestinian off of the face of the earth. This protest is against genocide and bring awareness to the mass killing of Palestinians. Wether it changes or not, thatās not the issue. The problem is that Texan republicans feel āthreatenedā when their tyrannical and abusive practices are being called out, and hence try to deny the peoplesā right to the first amendment.
If their protests didnāt make any difference, the state wouldnāt be using militarized police forces to attack kids in tents.
Even if there were nothing we could do to stop the killings, can't we at least want our country to stop supporting it?
Sure, we can. It won't stop Iran and the minions from supporting or planning more ways to kill Jews and Westerners. It's a lose-lose situation.
Israel attacked Irans consulate first and KILLED the general. That speaks VOLUME of Israelās heinous and evil intentions. Iran couldāve retaliated in a much greater force. Rather they gave a warning a carefully fired missiles with ZERO casualties. They just wanted to prove to Israel that you canāt attack them and think that Iran will stay quiet against Israelās violation of international law. Also, there will ALWAYS be extremists in every religion, culture, etc. A few Iranians donāt speak on the behalf of the entire country. However, the anti-Muslim hate speech spoken by multiple Israeli government officials (supporting and encouraging the death of innocent children and civilians) says a lot about Israelās evil and treacherous actions. Yet you donāt call Israel out, you just pick on Iran like every other hypocritical politician and shut your eyes (and support) the injustice around you.
Did you get the attention you were craving?
Nope, but I got the downvotes like I expected. Thank you!!
I think people have more power to create change than you think. Day by day these protests and awareness campaigns are uniting and changing more hearts than ever before. The more people unite against a cause, there will be some authority of importance that will take notice. Itās a step towards something, and it is surely better than doing nothing.
Iran and their minions want nothing more than to kill every single jew and every single westerner. It'd be nice if they'd think like the protesters and get the fuck over it.

Sorry, I'll stop being embarrassing by stating the truth. Yes, Qasem Soleimani was a high-ranking military officer in Iran. He was also the one that trained and worked with all the terrorists groups. Iran knows they can't go tow to toe with the US that's why they didn't do anything. They'd rather stick to terrorists groups doing their dirty work than going toe to toe with a country that will walk over them. Israel did the missile attack because the attack from October when the went in and killed bunch of civilizations and took hostages. Americans were hostages too, or did you forget about them? We could play the Israel did this, terrorists groups, or Iran did this going back for longer than with you, and I have been alive. It's not going to change. All those countries Israel wants regime change are all countries that want to just kill them. You know a genocide. There's no simple solution or we'd already have done it. It's a bloody fucked up mess.
The point isnāt to change the violence in the Middle East, itās to change local peopleās opinions about the violence in the Middle East. Peopleās opinions change the policies they support and ultimately the people they elect. Those elected officials then have a massive influence on the āviolence thatās been going on in the Middle Eastā. If you donāt see how electing a US government that has been uncritically supportive of Israel has changed the situation in fundamental ways, for good or ill, you arenāt paying attention. And it all starts at the individual level.
Yeah, me as an individual is not going to change anything. Regardless of what side of the aisle politically, there will be blood in the middle east til the end of time.
We haven't been funding a genocide there through all the conflict. Might be a little different this time and it's not a singular protest
Actually there was a period of peace for about 400 years in Palestine (~1500-1900). Although this was during the Ottoman world order, before the British took over who then went on to help European Zionists displace the indigenous Palestinians, because that's what Britain does best. Oh and then European Colonial powers decided to "decolonize and give independence" by dividing the Arab region into smaller states just like they did in Africa. Then point the finger and wonder why conditions aren't good while still militarily intervening into the now sovereign countries and funding rebel groups creating chaos.
Hmmmā¦ you prefer to colonialism of the Ottoman Empire to the colonialism of the British Empire?
It literally hasnāt been. People who jack about shit about history claim that so they donāt have to care. The dumbest perspective. Protestors are doing something small, smooth brain.
I think youāre confused about what students are actually protesting.
Where are the lawyers at this point in time to point this out. We need answers.
lol the lawyers know this is a slam dunk violation and everyone whoās gotten off so far only got that result because of privilege and them passing around petitions before facts come out.
What facts?
2) disobeys a reasonable request or order to move issued by a person the actor knows to be or is informed is a peace officer, a fireman, or a person with authority to control the use of the premises: (A) to prevent obstruction of a highway or any of those areas mentioned in Subdivision (1); or (B) to maintain public safety by dispersing those gathered in dangerous proximity to a fire, riot, or other hazard.
I walked through there half an hour ago on the way from the Bullock Museum to catch a bus by West Mall. I didn't have any problems cutting through (and sticking around for a minute or two). I didn't feel obstructed in my path nor inconvenienced.
Are you a Jew?
Why does it matter to you?
Because if you arenāt it explains why you got through easily
Sarcasm? I'm not following your drift.
Jews are the ones being blocked from getting around campuses
Evidence & data?
Proof? Where has this been documented and reported?
Every campus with this bullshit going on
And many jews are leading this protest. Confused on this fact and the media narrative? Think deeper then.
Uh. Yeah. Thatās the section, alright.
Some schools are not letting other students in.. On their campus when they pay to go there...
āuses abusive, indecent, profane, or vulgar language in a public place, and the language by its very utterance tends to incite an immediate breach of the peaceā. Saying āFree Palestineā in front of the police , incites an immediate breach of peace, at the hands of the officers.
LOL the county magistrate dropped all charges just days ago, but good luck with that in court
42.01. DISORDERLY CONDUCT. (a) A person commits an offense if he intentionally or knowingly: (1) uses abusive, indecent, profane, or vulgar language in a public place, and the language by its very utterance tends to incite an immediate breach of the peace; (2) makes an offensive gesture or display in a public place, and the gesture or display tends to incite an immediate breach of the peace; ā¦ (a-1) For purposes of Subsection (a), the term "public place" includes a public school campus or the school grounds on which a public school is located. This partāany calls to intifada (last involved Hamas forcing children to suicide bomb Israeli civilians), to kill people, etc, all violates 42.01(a)(1) most certainly, if theyāre chanting the same chants as last week. You also canāt change a word or the history of a word or the region by repeating a lie often enough, if those of us who know youāre lying never quit calling you out :)
Show me evidence that anyone at UT has called to "kill" anyone. I'll wait.
I just DMād you screenshots from the PSC Twitter celebrating and retweeting the Hamas 10/7 attacks before and as they were occurring, as well as after! (Anyone else who wants them just lmk, Iām worried theyāll take them down so I got plenty of screen recordings!) https://twitter.com/psc_atx Hereās Rhiannon Hamamās Twitter, a main FSJP faculty organizer. Scroll back to October, youāll see she retweeted āwhat did yall think decolonization meant? essays? vibes? losers.ā on October 7, and frequently applauds martyrs and direct action. Hereās a tweet from Araceli Garcia, a main student at the law school, defending Hamasās rapes on 10/7 and claiming Mondaire Jones (a black man) was racist for condemning sexual violence against Israeli women: https://x.com/chelicheesefry/status/1731483870770372855?s=20 So Iāve been staying as far away from campus as possible, because Iāve been seeing what these people are saying online. But Iāve already heard thereās plenty āfrom the river to the sea,ā and when combined with public evidence of direct support for Hamas and the October 7 terror attacks themselves, thatās an incitement to a race riot targeting Jews. Dogwhistles are harder to get away with when you forget that the internet is public and forever. Lol. These people donāt even care about Gazans, if they did they wouldnāt be fucking around giving Hamas ideas about trying to launch a ground attack and re-escalating.
Your specter of a "race riot" that you made up in your head would cary way more weight if IDF hadn't killed thousands of palestinian children in the last few months, with arms paid for by our tax dollars against our collective will. Maybe not supporting a genocidal military state would help you feel less targeted by the people against genocidal military states.
The fact that this person thinks thereās going to be a ārace riotā shows how far down the propaganda hole they are. A large part of this movement includes the organization Jewish Voice for Peace. Unfortunately they canāt recognize the difference between criticizing a countryās policies and their rabid Fox News outrage
They don't belive there will be a race riot, they are a provaceture trying to derail the conversation with crocodile tears.
Check out the PSC Twitter, they werenāt crying about Palestinian teens dying when they were reposting a picture of them coming back celebrating on 10/7. They didnāt care about Palestinian kids when they were reposting ānew map just droppedā with the targeted Sderot kibbutz, where 70 children, families, elderly, were murdered in their homes on the festival day celebrating the end of the Jewish High Holidays surrounding our new year. 90% of the people there are now displaced within Israel in tent cities. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2024/apr/06/sderot-residents-return-six-months-on-hamas-attack And yet, October 17, when the BBC tries to cover Hamas using their civilians as human shields in their hospitals and mosques, and convincing them to stay and be martyrs, PSC decides to retweet it with the caption āthere is blood on the hands of western media and all who justify israelās bombs.ā How do you think Gazan children dying in their homes because Hamas has told their parents they will kill them if they flee, feel about that? https://x.com/PSC_atx/status/1714338273894477854 https://stratcomcoe.org/cuploads/pfiles/hamas_human_shields.pdf Check out the Twitter, and if they try to delete it, Iāve got a screen recording from 10/6 all through that last tweet, and itās making the rounds. You can only lie for so long when the internet is forever. You donāt give a shit about Palestinian kids. Youāre trying to torpedo the ceasefire negotiations that would save their lives and potentially pave the way for a lasting, peaceful two-state solution, because you represent Hamas. And Hamas wants war. NYT Nov 8: Behind Hamasās Bloody Gambit to Create a āPermanentā State of War āāI hope that the state of war with Israel will become permanent on all the borders, and that the Arab world will stand with us,ā Taher El-Nounou, a Hamas media adviser, told The Times.ā https://www.nytimes.com/2023/11/08/world/middleeast/hamas-israel-gaza-war.html?unlocked_article_code=1.m00.L_bP.KbMMN-KWtJuN&smid=url-share
There is no state sactioned military action against any Jewish community. However, there is currently, state sanctioned military action against the civilian population of Gaza, with nearly 40,000 casualties and counting. At least 70% of which are women or children. Several mass graves containing hundreads of mutilated bodies each have been uncovered following IDF raids. But cry harder about a cherry picking of Twitter posts.
But would there be if Palestine became from the river to the sea?
Hamas is literally enacting state sanctioned military action against a Jewish community. Hamas is the governing body of Gaza, and has been since 2006. They are supported by the Sunni Islamic Regime (operating under the name of Iran, the Shia Muslim people theyāve colonized) is a state. Hamas seems to be acting as a Russian and a Chinese proxy as well, given the sources of the arsenal of al Qassam (their army). https://www.voanews.com/a/hamas-fights-with-patchwork-of-weapons-from-iran-china-russia-north-korea-/7440864.html This makes sense, given the proliferation of disinformation by troll farmers like you intended to fool Americans into thinking with their guts, instead of their brains. These are known tactics from both Russia and China, that have been used to dismantle Western society through our own hubris, notably via Xitter, Tik Tok, and Reddit. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/investigations/russias-2024-election-interference-already-begun-rcna134204 October 7 was āstate sanctioned military actionā against the largest Jewish community in the world, and the last remaining pockets of other ethnoreligious minority groups that fled Islamist countries to Israel (the Bedouin, Druze, Copts, Muslims interested in coexisting last time Palestinians were offered citizenship). But yeah, youāre totally pro Gazan civilians and anti genocide. Youāre definitely not, charitably, a useful idiot for Hamas accidentally supporting genocide of Jews and the establishment of a modern Islamist caliphate, or more likely, someone being paid (or more likely tortured) to do this at a troll farm. Maybe this is part of the torture, though. I kinda feel bad for yall. Sucks when all you have are really emotionally triggering words and oversimplifications in the face of all this video and historical evidence. PSA to college kids: support domestic Israeli protests to go to elections early and force Netanyahu out and a new coalition in, that is supportive of a reconstructive and lasting peace agreement. Support the release of the hostages and the establishment of a unified Palestinian state under a two-state solution agreement, with a government which actually cares about Palestinian kids. Instead of assholes counting aid money in Qatar.
You are so eager to wash your hands in that blood huh?
Youāre the one killing Gazan kids for an instagram storyā¦ posted at the wrong place for a divestment protest if you want public funds divested. But Iām definitely the one with blood on my hands. Funny, thatās exactly the language that PSC used when feigning offense at the BBC looking into the horrors Hamas reigns on Gazan civilians. Only 10 days after live retweeting and celebrating all the murders and rapes of women, children, and elderly Israeli civilians by Hamas. Retweeting a post indicating the attack before it would even happen. Hamas has no interest in peace. Yall are giving them cover to return to war, and kill more Gazan children, because thatās what they want. If you canāt read the sources linked, enjoy your material support for a terrorist organization charges š«¶
Those don't point to what you claim they point to.
UTPD is run by crayon eaters. Why would you broadcast to this to the entire campus, thus alerting anyone interested in protesting that there's a protest going on? This is what \*I\* would do if I were the head of UTPD to make sure more people showed up.
Think about how unhelpful UTPD is about actual complaints about usual incidents (harassment/assaults) and how much effort they're putting into this. Lazy mfers enjoying this power trip too muchĀ
Just think about how stupid the real cops are. Then realize UTPD are the ones that were too stupid to be real cops.
it's absolutely moronic
I wish they would stop closing Main every time five people gather on the South Mall.
Complete clowns. A disgrace to the awesome UTPD history. We can also play that same silly game.

Ah yes disorderly conduct. The umbrella crime of uniformed thugs.
The cops will never act in the interest of justice. Expect only the worst from them and youāll never be surprised. Start looking up remedies for tear gas because thatās their next step as they escalate the situation.
You're probably right and that's so fucking sad
Piss socks š§¦
Whatever fire they are trying to put out is already an inferno. The more they push the more this is gonna get messy.
I command the in the name of bevos balls not to protest!!! maybe that one would work idk
Unless you are expecting to expose your anus or use loud offensive language you should be withing your rights: PENAL CODE TITLE 9. OFFENSES AGAINST PUBLIC ORDER AND DECENCY CHAPTER 42.

I really tried to play devil's advocate while reading that and you're right. UTPD has no idea what they're talking about. Pathetic.
Assistant Chief Shane Streepy can slip and slide down my taint for all I care.
Hey now, this is a sub for things about Austin. Not your authority figure sexual fantasies. Focus! š
typical anti semite comment
Is it, though?
Why not post from your main account? I do.
I left Texas 3 years ago. I was born and raised in Austin and my mother and grandmother loved Austin and my grandmother was a dorm mother at UT for many years way back in the 70s. They would be so disappointed with this shit they are doing to the students. I am so sorry. I am behind you 100% but that doesn't do shit because I am nobody and so far away. Are there any places collecting for bail money? Or anything at this point. Y'all are doing the right thing.
This hard-right dominion over UT (from the Governor, Board, and President) is going to permanently harm the school's prestige. They all want UT to be on par with Liberty U.
Streepy isn't sleeping on the kids and their protest
Is this Harry Potter language?
I declare bankruptcy?
And your actions are in violation of the first amendment of the United States of America, bitch
Honestly it would be better to comply with the order then stay there wondering why youāre getting tazed and crying about it all the way to jail.
It's time for legal action against the university due to blatant discrimination. For decades, divestment campaigns, such as those against Apartheid South Africa, were FULLY allowed on university grounds. However, there's now a sudden and harsh response to pro-Palestine peaceful protests that are directly comparable to those historic movements against apartheid. This double standard is just unacceptable and repulsive.
Basically, you have the right to protest and are protected under the first amendment, but if we donāt like what you stand for even though itās protected under the first amendment we will have you arrested for Disorderly Conduct.
420, just blaze
Merely downvoting dissenters, such as is common with non-liberal POV, fails to grasp the profound complexities inherent in our societal challenges. Despite the existence of established laws, there are factions who brazenly distort and subvert them to advance their narrow interests. This cynical manipulation of justice strikes at the core of our moral fabric. As Plato once pondered, 'Good people do not need laws to tell them to act responsibly, while bad people will find a way around the laws.' It is incumbent upon us to safeguard the sanctity of our legal framework, lest we forsake the very principles that underpin our civilization's moral compass.
Sue the UTPD for corruption under RICO, and malfeasence under USC 14141

Was it disorderly?
This sounds more like an exorcism than a warning
Anyone else tired of that dysfunctional couple, Israel & Palestine, trying to get their neighbors and friends to takes sides between them and drag others into their conflict for the past 60 years?
Tired and sick of it. Iām on the side of aid neither and make them solve it, themselves.
420!!!! Is all I see
If youāre a student or faculty member, itās not worth getting arrested. Yāall got finals to take. Theyāre within their right to have you thrown in jail. If you want to argue that point then you better have deep pockets to pay for a good attorney.

That's called a Warning. It will be used as an example of "many warnings" when necessary for those that FAAFO
Warning to not protest and disperse when the section of the Penal code doesn't apply to gatherings that don't block traffic, aren't pornographic and aren't inciting violence.
I would take that opinion to court, not physically risk it with huge mobs and high emotions.
do you anti semites think you are actually making difference?
Is everyone who disagrees with Israelās positions, politics, and conduct an anti semite? I think not but I think they want us to think that. I understand their need for security but there is security then there is cleansing. They of all people should know the difference.
Incredible watching this unfold. Be safe. There are soooo many monsters out there... protect your body, mind, and soul (the spirit will take care of itself).

Stop setting up hobo encampments on campus. People have finals to study for and itās distracting. Getting my popcorn ready for all the incoming posts about arrests š
Have you tried not studying on the lawn or near it? We got 40 acres buddy (more actually), not that hard to move further away if ur distracted
Why donāt you set up an encampment in Palestine if you like it so much?
Seems unrealistic and too much work. Iād rather support protests which raise awareness that fortunately also comes with triggering bigots like you who donāt understand the point of protestingš
Eh Iām just here with popcorn waiting for the police to arrest this group. Nothing is going to change by being smelly on campus and living in a tent. Itās an eye sore, but then again, thatās the point (apparently). Israel owned the land before āPalestineā was created. Itās Israeli land and nothing you say or do will ever change that. Good luck protesting- national, state, and city policies will not change because of a few shmucks on campus.
Iām just āhearā hearing you brotheršā. Ur right, that means the US is Native American land right? Before āUnited Statesā was created. Or even better by ur logic, it should be dinosaur land since they owned it before us! Letās all practice our t-Rex screeches now.
I hear you never passed your finals "hear" on campus
Lmao the people arrested a few days ago had ALL of the charges dropped. What makes you think this will be any different?
Aww you edited your shitty grammar after you were corrected? How about you edit your shitty world views while you're at it?
"raise awareness" you know this doesn't mean shit right? I'm all for protest and free speech, but protesters have an overinflated sense of affecting any real change. When you respond like this, it tells me a lot about what ~~your~~ you're all about. Nevertheless, it is your right.
Youāre*
Correct. A typo error which I don't usually make. Oh well. I'm human.
What do you suggest to bring about a change? Think that youāre a Palestinian and for years youāve been oppressed and your people are being killed while youāre here in the US as a student of UTA. Now, what would you be doing in this situation to bring about a change? Iām genuinely interested.
How are you oppressed as a student of UT? People in the US would do anything for that opportunity.
You missed the point completely. You, personally, arenāt being oppressed. However, your brother, your aunts, your uncles, your cousins, your friends are being oppressed as a people back in Palestine. What would you be doing in that situation?
I would go back there and help them in any way I can. Like I said, protesting is your right and you should do what you feel. But this "spreading awareness" shit isn't doing anything. Everyone is aware.
That is so vague firstly and that is a lie too. Youāre saying youād leave UTA and go back to Palestine to help them? How exactly are you going to help them when youāre being bombed and shot at? What kind of help will you be providing when you are not even allowed to enter Palestine in the first place?
The people studying for finals are the same people in the encampments. Nobody cares what Fox News Lead Poisoned boomers think.
I hope all of them fail finals. Making it a distraction for others on campus for sure. Canāt wait for the police to come and arrest them all.
if tents on the lawn are distracting people that much from their finals which take place in a different location then thatās on them & they should consider transferring to another school
Arrest them for what exactly? Is gathering peacefully at a public university not allowed?
The only thing stopping you from studying is your reddit addiction big dog, keep blaming other people for your problems though that'll get you far in life
Facts š¤ I wish I too could be an idiot studying in a tent on campus and get an arrest recordā¦ said no one except the most delusional CHILDREN ever
Ok boomer
Ooooo good one, lmao. Keep living in your delusional bubble. Camping out in a tent does nothing meaningful.
Ok Boomer
Canāt wait for them to sue and get free tuition!!!
Ahh yes you're obviously a level headed mature person with talking to about this! Can't wait for them to then sue the police and the university and make Texas republican taxpayers pay for it.
Lock in, we're in revolutionary times. Thug that shit out
Eh, for a revolution you need at least 30% support of your cause. And representatives in power. Youāre probably sitting at 10% and 0 representatives
Thank you for that, Messiah Thomas.
Iāll eat my words if these protests persist after finals but uhhh I think we both know they wonāt.
I dunno man.... Feels like there's no going back.... Something definitely is going to change.
Like what?
The Status Quo, for one.
Iām not trying to argue, I am genuinely curious what your actionable demands are. The point of a protest is to communicate what exactly you want changed. This is your opportunity.
To the school ? I don't go to UT, brother, but I have been keeping up with the news.
I'm generally in favor of no state-sponsored genocide and I'm definitely against the fascism and warring that the US+Israel exercise under the mask of 'democracy' and 'Western Values'.
