CNN identified several of the counter-protesters who caused chaos at a protest at UCLA recently. Kyung Lah reports.


Edit to add, To me this seems like a microcosm of the West Bank as the settlers attack Palestinian homes while the IDF stands by.

[Think. Again.]

1. Yep, rightwing instigators, provocateurs, and chaos agents.

...causing trouble at the peaceful protests from day one.

[Uncle Joe]

2. I believe they're basically trying to turn Americans into Palestinians

in our own nation.

[Think. Again.]

3. Yes, the rightwingers would absolutely love that

6. We already have that

It's called being black in America.

We still have the impact of redlines - and nothing happens to people like George Zimmerman.

It's just not sexy when Dominant Culture Americans have to consider recompensing us for their thievery during the Raw Deal (1932 to 1968). All of a sudden things become impossible . . .

When it's America's own.

[Uncle Joe]

7. Well it's getting sexy now,

and it won't just be the "Dominant Culture Americans" that pay the price.

8. Eh?

I disagree. Start talking about a 36 year 5% tax break for everyone from Robert F Smith to the poorest elderly black woman in the South IF you, your parent, or grandparent was on the Census as black/negro between 1940 and 1970

And all of sudden 'It's not fair' because you can actually PROVE who is eligible goes gets louder and louder and louder and louder . . . Even though my dad, his parents, and his grandparents all lived in Jim Crow South and paid taxes into America for things they could NEVER take advantage of.

It's kind of shitty - but I wish we had this kind of focus on our own. Like - you are never going to be able to Phase Out the Palestinian/Israeli conflict - but for example . . . I'm 51 and have no descendants - if we did it next year - there's a strong possibility that I would die before taking advantage of all 36 years of the 5% tax cut. Also - the students who would never benefit from this just don't give a damn - because too many of the dominant culture (even liberals in some instances) view Americans who are black as a threat.

10. What precisely

do you disagree with?

[John Shaft]

9. Amen

4. Includimg RW Isareli MMA fighter David Kaminsky

Who owns a local fight gym, and is a well known fascist. He lead a group of fellow thugs to beat up UCLA college kids protesting (some who were Jewish) while the cops looked away.

He is so extreme, he was too extreme for Trumpie's buddy Dana White.

The students need to sue UCLA, like the kids sued UC Davis when that asshole cop drenched them in bear spray a few years back.

5. I would hope the FBI investigates

the police as well for just standing by for 3 hours, and doing nothing until the next night when they came to breakup the camp of the victims of the assault.
