A group of more than 200 pro-Palestinian protesters gathered on the University of Washington campus Tuesday night, with demonstrators twice using spray paint to vandalize the lens of a KOMO News camera.
Additionally, a KOMO News crew witnessed at least one fight during the demonstration, with at least 10 people involved in the skirmish. No arrests were reported and nobody appeared to be seriously hurt.
Throughout the protest, demonstrators held up black umbrellas as a means to block off access to the Quad on UW's campus. Moreover, several of the participants used plastic trash cans as a means to create a barrier between themselves and onlookers.

--------------------------------------------------
2:19 Conservative Commentator Charlie Kirk appeared on the UW campus Tuesday amidst heightened tensions, and just a few hundred yards away from a growing encampment at the Quad.
Kirk encouraged people to debate him about vaccines and foreign policy, and a couple hundred people stood around to watch the spectacle, which was rather calm at 1:30 p.m.
A stroll through the quad, home to protestors since last Monday, also appeared rather calm.
However, a few university police officers and security were seen near the borders of the Quad, and temporary fencing was seen in place, but students and faculty continued to stroll without obstruction through the popular campus spot.

I'm a UW senior and have watched a lot of Charlie Kirk's debates. It's the students or opposition who create the "social media worthy highlight reels" not his "instigation". UW is a very left leaning campus as are most universities. Conservative opinion, no matter the fashion in which it is orated, produces a strong reaction because these opinions are not represented in the course material on these campuses. When a conservative opinion is presented in course material it is done haphazardly because there just isn't any professors on campus who believe in the position's validity. I know the term "echo chamber" seems to be over-used but class discourse really can be summed up as a circle jerk 9 times out of 10 and there's no wonder why "social media worthy" content is regularly captured on these campuses.

@jaysaini955 Месяц назад

@@claytonbray8471 :( I'm so sorry to hear that, I wish it was about the subject rather then politics. Even though I'm right leaning, I don't really talk about politics that loud. In fact, here at WSU, in my engineering classes. They are nothing but suffering due to the lack of sleep because of homework :). But yeah I feel ya, I had a really mean english teacher who was so arrogant and made the class political. It was to the point that I had no idea what was going on because she graded so hard and her instructions were vague that I did not pass the class. I complained and I got her not to teach anymore and she hated me even more after that incident (She yelled at me during her office hours). Otherwise, when I pick my electives, I do so very smartly. Like I look at rate my professors and do the classes that are so easy. And luckily, I haven't had any toxic classes yet. But I'm sorry UW is forcing you to take that stuff rather then what pertains to law. But if you want, come to engineering, we are very cool people :)

The truth matters. Charlie Kirk invites debate. And you can hear the cynicism in many students - or the ones chosen to be aired - that any motivation must be just for clicks as if every appearance is only for clicks and not to engage in the truth. The Left teaches cynicism and nihilism.

@dev_tawny7775 Месяц назад

It's the students' choice to go and debate with Charlie Kirk, if you decide to let time pass and skip class because you decided to debate with Charlie, that is on you, your an adult in college you take full responsibility and accountability of what you do. Charlie Kirk is only spreading the truth which is seen as "misleading" or "fascist" in the eyes of democratic / liberal students.

Stop being soft and trying to police discourse. Why are insults off limits? We insult one another every day when joking with our friends. Why can’t we use insults against people we disagree with?
