Discussion of campus protests on a popular Fox News talk show led to discourse about cleaning techniques as “enforcement.”
“Everybody knows you’re going to wipe things down with Clorox before mold takes over your home,” Attorney General Ashley Moody said on “Fox & Friends.”
“As soon as a protester goes to being a perpetrator, that needs to be shut down, it is time to shut it down and when they go to court and when they see a Judge, a Judge needs to say you will not go back. You’ve committed crimes or alleged to have committed crimes. If you do go back and you break another law, I’m going to have to hold you until trial. If they said that in New York, you wouldn’t see all of this.”
The Attorney General’s comments were tied to her alma mater, the University of Florida, arresting protesters this week as Gainesville activists mirrored the actions at other universities by protesting Israel.
The Alligator notes that eight of the nine arrested this week have already been released from jail with adjudication pending on various misdemeanor charges. The lone exception, Allan Frasheri, is alleged to have spit on police officer Kristy Sasser’s arm. That student faces a felony rap for assaulting a cop.
“This is not complicated: The University of Florida is not a daycare, and we do not treat protesters like children — they knew the rules, they broke the rules, and they’ll face the consequences,” went a statement from the school contextualizing the police counteraction.
That action seems consistent with the AG’s thoughts as expressed Wednesday on cable television.
“Colleges, universities want to promote free speech, they want to protect it. Our nation wants to protect it but we will not coddle and embolden criminals. And as soon as those protesters shape shift into perpetrators, it’s time to shut it down,” Moody added.

If they were protesting abortion or trans rights, Ashley would be screaming about First Amendment, and freedom of speech. Such hypocritical BS.

I do find it interesting.. FOX calls them Anti- Israel protesters while MSNBC calls the Pro- Palestinian protesters. I call them dumb and young college kids. Here’s hoping Gov doesn’t call in his State Guard. Let’s remember May 4th, 1970. How can you run when you know, Ashley?
Tin soldiers and Nixon coming
We’re finally on our own
This summer I hear the drumming
Four dead in Ohio
Gotta get down to it
Soldiers are cutting us down
Should have been done long ago
What if you knew her
And found her dead on the ground
How can you run when you know?

Remember how Nixon got elected in the first place?
Riots over Vietnam, law and order, the silent majority?
The last thing we need is another 4 years of Donald Trump and that is why the war must end quickly either thru the immediate release of hostages and surrender of Hamas OR by Israel finishing the job ASAP. The protests must be peaceful unlike the nutty stuff by BLM trying to burn down federal courthouses, or like the darkest day in American political history, January 6 when white trash Magas ransacked the Capitol.
Otherwise, the backlash will get us a second helping of Donald. Do you really want that? You think he will be sympathetic to the Palestinians?

Please cite BLM “burning down (F)federal courthouses”. The Portland Federal Building had been under attack prior to the BLM protests. The burning of the Minneapolis police station was done by angry locals. Perpetuating Fauz Noiz talking points doesn’t behoove you.

As long as they are college students protesting on their own campus and are not saying hateful things or destroying anything or committing acts of violence, it is freedom of speech and such an important amendment, it is and should be respected.

KATHRYNA, i’ve never heard of a protest like the one you described. wishful thinking, maybe, but it ain’t going to happen that way till maga cultism is reigned in. trump is the underlying cause of much of the problems our country has at the present time. when he is gone, then maybe things will become more civil. trump invited much of the violence we see. place the blame on trump and trumpers, not decent people.

Chlorox would make the browns white.
That has to appeal to the MAGA menagerie.

So why does Trump promise to pardon all those that have been convicted of violence attacking the capital on January 6 th?? How was that protest different.

These kids are probably being charged with disorderly conduct as a pretext to get them off the street with the exception of those smashing windows, etc. No real consequences.
Trump’s desire to pardon the Jan 6 folks is because he knows they did it for him, based on his lies, he put them up to it to steal an election…and because he has an enlarged black heart.

J6 was in support of DJT. Nothing outside Trumpworld has any value if it can’t be monetized.

It’s not too bad when used outside on the walls of the house but, no, not inside the house or as a therapeutic beverage.

PEACHY, i have struggled to find a good name to describe your personality as you display it in your posts. there is a chance that you are NOT the person that comes out in your posts, but i don’t give you enough credit to fool anyone with a fake persona. anyway i have chosen a name that you yourself have used in your post often. HOWLER MONKEY, is your new name, it fits you well.

Free Speech is about doing things the right way. You have a right to talk and to be heard. When you go past talking and protest in ways that block buildings, you are breaking the law. You can protest from the sidewalk, but do not get in the street; certainly do not break into buildings. There are plenty of lawful ways to get your point across.

LEXT, did trump use those ” lawful ways ” you posted about to storm the capitol and try to overthrow the election? so, are you being unfair in your statement? you sound like a person that is saying ” look over here, not over there “

There’s an abandoned camp town down in rural Guyana that could be bought for cheap. Assley and Rhonda should take their followers and relocate there to create their own anti-everything paradise.
RonsTown has a nice ring to it.
