Protesters return to Portland State University library after police leave

Why not just send these kids to Gaza for a study abroad semester.

It's Portland. There is no fear of repercussions because there are none.

'they will be charged', a pretty good bet there'll be zero punishment, so what's the point then...

Typical Portland

It looks like "summer love 2020" is making a comeback. Deputy Fine says, "Nip it!" These people who are students need to lose all credits and kick out of college.

Imagine cutting class and expecting us to pay your student loans

I bet that building stinks 💩

Wow, such dedication to their cause. Cover your face and run away! Run away!..bunch of cowards, just looking for any reason to play revolutionary..LARPers and cos players

May God protect law enforcement from all harm. Amen🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Catch and release doesn't work.

This was anything but a peaceful "protest".

Any excuse for barbarism in Portland… geez this is why we can’t have nice things.

Portland's final nail in its coffin for businesses there....

Feels like those escaped protestors just came back and re-occupied the library. Did someone forget to lock 🔒 the doors?

Im ashamed of Portland. We are the laughingstock of the entire country.

I’ve quite litterly traveled to third world countries with a more robust downtown than Portland. These people are a huge reason why.

This is what happens when you don't arrest criminals and keep them in prison.

Vote Republician! Vote American.

so do they get expelled?

As a PSU student, it saddens me greatly to see the library in shambles. I've built up some good memories with my classmates and teachers during my stay and hope to continue to do so. However, such acts of cowardice appall me. I fail to see the correlation between their "free Palestine" message and their brutal vandalism on an innocent learning ground. While the situation in Palestine is undeniably horrific, responding with more violence will only perpetuate hate rather than help remedy it. I remember a couple of months ago a peaceful protest was held near the Recreation Center at PSU. There was no barbarism whatsoever. Instead, everybody stood around a Palestinian speaker. I don't remember what he said but I do remember his face. It was sour as a newborn grape, and I could feel the pain behind his eyes. The protestors were awesome too. They all stood in solidarity carrying their flags and cardboards with words like "we all share the same Earth" and, of course, "free Palestine". THIS is a protest. The message they were sending was not "f da police" but rather that "the siege on Palestine is deeply traumatizing us so we want it to stop in order to prevent the killings of innocent children". TLDR: This situation makes me really sad. I want these protestors to band together and make a legitimate movement for change rather than being chaotic and stupid.
