COLUMBUS, Ohio (WCMH) – Ohio State University police and the Ohio State Highway Patrol arrested about three dozen people Thursday night for staging a pro-Palestine encampment on campus – carrying out what is likely the highest number of protest-related arrests there since the Vietnam War.

After hours of peaceful protest on the South Oval behind the Ohio Union, dozens of officers clad in riot gear descended on the crowd, handcuffing protesters and carrying them to Franklin County sheriff’s buses parked nearby. Several protesters were arrested earlier in the day for pitching tents on campus, but police watched for hours – occasionally issuing threats of arrest – when hundreds of protesters returned in the evening.

    Calm down.

    There are exceptions, but for most people college is a waste of time and money.

      Calm down. Explain your weak argument.

          I think your lack of persistence in the face of even mild disagreement will carry you far.

              Comes with being educated. We know how to ask questions and poke holes in bullshit ideas.

              Enjoy your unquestioning day.

                  I’d wish you the same, if it were affordable. Trade schools, universities etc should be free.

          Repeatedly attacking other users is not a way to win friends and influence people. Removing the comments and temp banning. Do better.
