My point is that what one person considers a peaceful protest, another can not.
If it’s a 99% peaceful protest does it still count.
For the record I understand your point to a point, but yes some people do deserve to be jailed for protesting genocide.
Just like the people who think anortion is basically baby genocide and fire bomb abortion clinics deserve to go to jail
Yeah, you didn't say "peaceful" but also I've seen no evidence of violence from students in these protests. That said, I haven't really kept up with it. Maybe there's an instance of violence, but you can use collective punishment to hold them all accountable for that. If you do then no protest is allowed. I haven't seen anyone defend anyone using violence. You're bringing that up as a strawman.
I feel like peaceful is the difference between protesting and rioting
It isn't, but I'll take the bait anyway. Where were these students not peaceful? I haven't seen it yet.
Just FYI, MLK Jr, the person most known for "peaceful protest" today in the US, was said to have been starting riots by much of the mainstream media. It's easy to say people are rioting to make people disagree with them, especially if you use violence against them and accuse them of being violent now.
I never said there were.
You said is if it just to be jailed for protesting genocide.
Yes there are
You asked if it is just to be jailed for protesting genocide.
I said yes, you didn’t ask is it right for these students to be jailed.
People like to use questions that are extremely vague in conjunction with subjects that are related, but not as strongly as the questioned asked.
That is bullshit wordgamery and I will call it out
How is it ever just to be jailed for protesting genocide. Maybe it is while sometimes, if you do something illegal in conjunction with it. The act itself isn't illegal though, so getting arrested for it is unjust.
Like I said, what I consider a protest, others might not.
So yeah, it depends on your definitions
Such transparent dogshit on display here xD you insist that they define basic words like "jailed" and "peaceful" and "protest" , and accuse them of "wordgamery" bc you can't understand the basic English words they're saying. Just letting you know nobody is falling for this, you're just making yourself look stupid by acting like others' words are utterly incomprehensible when it's obviously not :3
