How is throwing rocks and bottles NOT “assault and battery”? Hope to see charges from this.
if you think rocks and bottles are bad wait till you see what they're protesting
@@kimura317 they keep shouting 'from the river to the sea", but I can't figure out what they intend to do to the Jews...
@@olivertinker Keep on thinking about it then. Jewish students are well represented among the protesters.
@@kimura317 yeah, I figured you wouldn’t want to address that charter. And Jews aren’t well represented there. Hell, in the videos at UNC the counter protesters are the ones holding the Israel flag. So I’m thinking that’s your terrorist deflection since you won’t say what ‘river to sea’ means to you
@olivertinker You shill hard, bro.
There is no excuse for removing the American Flag to fly the flag of another nationality/group. Aside from being conquered, it is simply the upmost disrespectful act they could do regarding the sovereignty. It goes beyond supporting a side in the Israeli - Hamas conflict. It was an intentional insult to all true Americans, most especially our veterans. Kudos to those who defended it.
I’m Pro-Palestinian 🇵🇸 to stop the war and at the same time Pro-America 🇺🇸 for freedom and peace and the U.S flag should be respected.
Yeah, that’s exactly what happened on January 6.
@@yeahiamtalkingtuhupunk8157I didn’t know there were pro Palestine protesters at the Capitol that day. Thx for the update.
@@sbp961"I support both the victim and the perpetrator because this creates the least amount of tension" (that's called having no backbone)
Replacing ones flag is an intention to Annex territory and engage in war . This , should NOT be tolerated on your soil . Should be stamped out with legal ramifications by a responsable Government before it even starts .
Dutch person here. Appalled by the Palestinian flags being raised in my country, I applaud your patriotism! We’re heading for the WWII Memorial Day here this weekend: let’s see how we manage to uphold our oath to remember the fallen, all the Jews who were killed, in this new environment. Keep you posted.
I think it is time to tighten the BOYCOTT on US products, we from the other part of the world know enough now ☝🏻 Stay strong US Students 🙏🏻
@@user-ui6ky9zw2c the students protesting are not strong. i remember the college protestors in the 1960s. when dad said no more money to be a student, get a job, they became yuppies consumed by greed for the almighty dollar. the white kids protesting here don';t give a shit, it's just play time. the foreign students, just go home and fight your war.
Do you not think that Israel and america are engaging in the same practices and have the same ideology as to those that they themselves fought against on WW2?
Thank you, from the grandson of a WWII ETO officer. I have seen my whole life the care you all have given to our cemeteries, and our people resting there. I admire the celebrations of your liberation in how these events are shared with younger generations, to show what our grandparents, and the world, went through. Much respect...
Excellent......excellent
The image of those fearless young men holding the American Flag in the air, above the ground, to protect it all while being under assault has me crying with pride and joy. Thank you, American Patriots,!!
Very telling statement there
@@karlmarx7511 Just like your name.
@@daletrizzino9639 I'm guessing your not picking up on the irony
Very PROUD of those young men 🫡 Our flag represents OUR FREEDOMS from us all who fought and those who died defending it.
It does NOT represent our parties... and Washington DC. Etc.
This conflict is mere terrorism trying to divide our country as it has over the years with Israelies & Palestinians. Likewise, Russia and Ukraine. And North n South Korea.
It's brothers and sisters pitted against eachother.
It boils down to an unseen enemy...; Our adversary Satan.
As Jesus said, " Love one another as I have loved you.."
Trust HIM.
Our True Freedom!
@@karlmarx7511You mean it took someone from another country to defend the flag…yeah I noticed that. It wasn’t about being a true ‘American Patriot’, whatever that is, it was grown up thinking and respect from a human being regardless of where they came from. Respect and Patriotism can be 2 sides of the same coin but sadly Patriotism as a term has been hijacked for Nationalism and isolationism rhetoric.
Canadian here. That flag deserved better then the indignity that was inflicted upon it
Thank you sir. Your country deserves better than the indignity of the PM that's been inflicted upon it. I'm blessed to call you my neighbor to the north.
Funny how the American flag, means a lot more to us, than some Americans.
@@LillianOglethorpe That is political trash. I call you out.
This is why the world stays hard. But it's a very different kinda hard for those who make bad choices. The truth is there will always be every level of human even the lowest. They will just matter even less in the future.
@@roderickcampbell2105lol
Thanks to Guillermo and his fraternity brothers. Thanks Ward for showing this.
I watched that happen live on CNN and I noticed immediately that those young men looked out of place among all the protesters in their dumb scarves, and I saw that they were holding the flag above their shoulders. I knew what they were doing and I was very moved by it. Happy to hear more of the back story behind it. They are American heroes and patriots and it gives me hope I haven’t felt in a long time. As Mr Rogers famously said “Look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helping.”
I noticed as well that the students protecting the flag didn't hide their faces like the protestors are. The only reason to hide your face would be because you either recognize what you're doing is illegal, or you have shame in what you're doing.
Amen.
Good to hear that there are Patriots tha actually watch CNN. Bad to hear that Patriots watch CNN.
@@jayrayram First time in ages that CNN were red pilled
Ward, I am SO glad that you posted this!!! It is so refreshing to see real, young American's taking a stand against this stupidity and anti-American activities. Those "protesters" should be ashamed of themselves. Also, why do they feel the need to cover their faces? You don't see the Frat boys doing so!! They are PROUD to be American!!
For your information...
American Gov, politicians, MSM, NGOs, Think-tanks... were and still are excusing the students involved in vandalism and riots in Hongkong !
The students who hide their faces just like the ones in American campuses !
Anti American activities included aiding and abetting genocidal behavior of foreign governments .
See-Hear-Speak no evil ...

You do know that it's protected free speech which is what you signed up to defend right?
MuH fLaG
@@hollyd8989 Yes and I didn't served so the flag of a foreign country or group of people can replace the American flag, specially in American soil. If you don't respect our flag, take it down with dignity. But don't dare to replace it with a foreign flag.
Bravo Zulu to those Young Patriots
Protesting is one thing. Disrespect the flag and the country you’re in and you might as well GTFO and go to the country you’re protesting for.
I agree thanks to the youngsters who try to protect our flag. May they continue protecting our flag
I’d rather they continue to protect what that flag stands for than the flag itself.
@@Justanotherconsumer I hear you. Both are valid and worth protecting, the actual freedoms and the symbol of that freedom. We fight to protect both of those here in Ukraine too. God bless our American friends and the symbols of freedom they stand for!
My dad served in the UAAF in the PTO. He never thought of himself as a hero either. He always said, "I was just doing my job".
Usually the response when your participation requires alienating your humanity
Yep....that's what we all say
@@karlmarx7511Karl marx....I suggest you read the communist manifesto published in 1840 and pull your head out.

The worst part is that the protesters who think they are speaking for Palestinians have no clue that they are in fact being manipulated through their own ignorance of what HAMAS stands for and its values. Values that do not include the rights of women, free speech, assembly, religion and on and on. Parents and educators have failed this generation by not teaching them the brutal realities of history or current events.
Your showing alot of how little you know here.
Entitled, spoiled punks, desecrating the flag to support an illegal terrorist regime. How typically 21st Century American
We were failed in many ways. This movement failed the moment they took down the flag. I couldn’t care less about Palestine and their supporters.
Well said!🇺🇸
@@karlmarx7511 Your Username say a lot too
There is still some hope for this country. We need more young people like those who protected the flag. I haven't given up on this country yet. The parents of those overprivileged students disrespecting our flag and country should be embarrassed and ashamed
I was commissioned through the NROTC unit at UNC Chapel Hill, and this video made me enormously proud. Thanks, Ward!
Same, I too commissioned through UNC (MECP). Does me well to see this from our old school.
The American funding of IDF genocide makes me utterly ashamed.
You should be too.
@@angusmatheson8906 you don't even know what a genocide means. Sit down and be quiet.
@@UsedToaster Actually, it seems *you* don't know what genocide means.
What is happening in Gaza is *literally* genocide.
@@angusmatheson8906 Actually, it seems you don't know what genocide means.
What is happening in Gaza is literally genocide."
Israel MUST BE REALLY BAD at this genocide thing, took them over 75 years YET P@lestine population ONLY INCREASED from about 750k in 1947 to about 5.4m in 2023. Even just the G@Z@ strip alone, about 1.3m in 2005 when the IDF left to about 2.2m in 2023, almost 2 fold INCREASED.
LET'S NOT forget that P@lestine are really just Arabs. How many Arabs nations are there? How many Muslims/Islam nations are there? Just the middle east alone, there are a lot more Arab/Muslim/Islam nations, not to mention South East Asia and other parts of the world.
BUT, HOW many Jews/Israelis nation are there in the world?
EVEN H@M@S's OWN video SHOWED them attacking civilians and in their own homes as well. If they are really resistance fighters, they would be in some form of military uniform and ATTACKING Isr@el's military bases, etc, NOT CIVILIANS or their homes.
BILLIONS of aid ANNUALLY for a population of about 5.4m and YET the citizens are lacking water, electricity, etc. While the top leaders of H@M@S are BILLIONAIRES and living in luxury in Qatar among other countries.
Maybe the IDF should save the plane's airframe time, money, effort, etc, instead of "wasting" it on delivering leaflets to ask the civilians in G@Z@ to leave as it's getting dangerous. Since doing that and not doing that equates to "gen0cide" regardless.
Same thing with being "occupiers", now that the IDF is mostly done with north of G@Z@, they withdrew from the north to prepare for the next stage BUT still being called "occupiers", might as well "live up to it" since they won it fair and square back in the six-day war in 1967. Maybe IDF should NOT have withdrew in 2005 and just accept the "occupiers" term, at least they would have the land, instead of withdrawing from it and still "keep" the term.
Wonder why Egypt built a wall against their "brothers" in P@lestine. Why didn't Lebanon or Jordan take the P@lestinians in. OH WAIT, they did back in the day and it did NOT end well, Lebanon civil war, Jordan Black September. G@Z@ strip was managed by Egypt for a period of time, and WestB@nk under Jordan, why didn't the P@lestinian asked for a statehood back then? Aren't they all "Muslim Brothers"?
This brings tears to my eyes to know there is still hope for Americans
These young men were taught right!
Hi Ward - greetings from UK. I was truly moved by this story. The United States and its proud history of welcoming all comers is something i admire greatly, and it is clear that people like Guillermo understand that legacy and are determined to protect the actuality and the symbols of their adopted nation. From an ex-Royal Marine, who did many exercises with the USN and USMC - Semper Fi. TJS
Ward thank you for this post.
I’m a retired fireman. I was proud to serve with brave firemen. Whenever we were referred to as hero’s, we would thank the person and then tell them that American Soldiers were our hero’s!
God bless America and may he bless those who protect America!🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Way to go men! As a Former Marine. Thank you 🫡
My dad was a Korean War vet, a Marine. When I was growing up in the early 60s he told me "once a Marine, always a Marine".
Thank you for your service Marine.
Semper Fi. Raised my hackles. I wore Marine Corps green too.
Watched this happen first hand, I was pretty shocked by how hostile everyone was getting
Those leftists should not shock you anymore they are the ones who want to trample on Americans rights! It’s time for the center and right to stand up and defend themselves and our freedoms
They dont belong here especially wearing the terrorists costume.
Being a US Navy veteran who served honorably after the draft was eliminated in the United States. I still consider my obligated to the oath that volunteerly had taken to defend The Constitution of The United States of America almost 50 years ago. To see this disrespect to my country's flag disturbs me. Thank you to the Fraternity Brothers for protecting the Flag of the United States of America.
US Army and I feel the exact same way 💯
Also Navy, agree totally.
We Soldier's, Sailor's, Airmen, Patriots have a many sayings about OUR Flag... yes, it represents the U.S.
Take the periods out... US.
THESE COLOR'S DO NOT RUN.
God Bless America 🇺🇸
From Israel.
USAF Vet here & agree 100%
I believe in the right of Freedom of Speech
I believe in the Right to Peaceful protest
BUT, there only ONE Flag that’s flying on American Soil and that’s Old Glory
I’ll just say it, real good way to get your ass kicked right there, especially in Carolina. I know , I Live here, trust me, not smart
God Bless these young men and the USA!
Brief, to the point, and accurate as usual. This is a great story to see, and a nice way to start the day. Thank you, sir.
Thank you Guillermo and your brothers!
Phenomenal video. Love the Frat Bros at UNC Chapel Hill. Thanks for sharing Ward
What really irritates me as well is the graduating seniors from many of these school were also not allowed to have a graduating ceremony as HS Seniors. The protesters are putting themselves above all the other folk on these campuses. Their behavior so reminds me of the treatment of the Vietnam vets on their return home. I have been reading and watching a lot about that war lately and the most striking/sad aspect of it for our vets is how they were treated and so many of them talk about that. ““The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.” Glad those students did something as I have been wondering where the majority have been.
That "bad treatment" never really happened. It's about as true as "teens doing witchcraft because of pokemon" and has about the same amount of "proof" too.
@@karlmarx7511you don’t know what you’re talking about. While I was never spit on or called names when I returned from Vietnam, I know many others who were. We were not welcomed home like other soldiers from other wars, and it was many years before we were shown any appreciation at all. Most of us got on with our lives, but many suffered from PTSD, and couldn’t adjust to civilian life. Some became alcoholics or got hooked on drugs, and some even took their own lives.
I hate the loss of innocent life in Gaza, but I also hate what happened on October 7th. I wish there was a ‘clean’ way to defeat Hamas, but war is always messy, and there are ALWAYS civilian casualties, especially in an urban setting.
I support peaceful protests, but I think many have taken it too far, and seem to support Hamas and what they stand for, not the people of Gaza. People shouting death to America, and disrespecting the flag is just stupid, and will not have any effect on how Israel proceeds with the war.
Well said Ward. I remember getting off the USS Kitty Hawk and being treated with disrespect by the local college children. I can't muster any respect for these immature punks any more.
Your forgot about the USS Liberty then, what a short memory you have...

Old black chick from a blue state here... I would d!e protecting our flag and what stands for! I'm so proud these wonder guys. I cried when I saw the video.

Go Frat Boys! Excellent show of Patriotism. Go Patriots.
What a worthy story to highlight. Thank you for your service Ward.
I was telling wife about this, a little while ago. Thanks for bringing this to us so she could hear the complete story and not just what I could remember.
Sergeant Major Carney of the 54th Massachusetts would be proud of these men.Sgt Major Carney severly wounded,when Old Glory was in danger in falling to the hands of Confederates at Fort Wagner,In that moment of danger Carney remembered the flag that represented all he held dear and was fighting to protect that day. Rather than dropping the flag and fleeing for his life, he wrapped the flag around the staff to protect it and ran down an embankment. Stumbling through a ditch, chest-deep in water, he held his flag high. Another bullet struck him in the chest, another in the right arm, then another in his right leg. Carney struggled on alone, determined not to let his flag fall to the enemy.The spirit of Sgt Major Carney lives with these young men,the Union still stands strong now and forever.
Somehow the mainstream media will not report this.
Given all the arrests happening and Americans generally being nervous about government crackdowns on dissent (we’re not supposed to do that, after all), it’s an easy story to put on page 12.
Good to see some pushback. These protestors need to be taught that they do not speak for the schools or their communities.
They speak for most of us.
@@angusmatheson8906they speak for themselves.
There are a lot of them, though, and it’s anything but a fringe view.
@@Justanotherconsumer Modt Americans are against the IDF's campaign of genocide in Gaza.
An encouraging sign that Americans are finally questioning our endless support of a fascist apartheid ethnostate.
@@angusmatheson8906 : Maybe you, but definitely not U.S.!!

Thank you Guillermo and the others who defended our flag....you are heroes.
that scene is going to be repeated all across the nation... it may be a spark in a very combustible atmosphere... we'll see where it goes... if they did that in my community... we would have a problem...
I would not have expected this to happen in the State I was born in. Imagine what is happening in our beloved country. Universities are subsidized by the federal government and then politicians take steps to secure the money loaned to students and than they take further steps to forgive a portion of these loans. This is a huge circle where the taxpayer has no end in sight and no hope that they will ever be treated with equality or respect.
Yeah regardless of investment schemes they are never getting those things from the current state
Rule number #1. Never ever shit where you eat.
If that flag touches the ground, they're in for a world of hurt
@@scarecrow108productions7 It did, and no they are not. Are you saying that you personally are going to commit an act of violence?

@@billynomates920totally not weird or anything.
As a Vietnam vet I salute these young people for standing-up for the symbol of our land and those that have perished in its defense. We already know why and they make us proud with their respect.
Thanks for this video and thanks for your service! I found your channel after watching a Rick Beato video in which you appeared. Keep up the good work - you have my respect.
These acts of disrespect to the Flag of The United States of America remind me so much from when I was a child and the war in Vietnam was going on, I remember students ( and others) burning The Colors, stamping on The Colors and spitting on The Colors. These people do not stop and think, if they did this in a lot of other countries they would be beaten and put in jail/prison. Yet, they disrespect the flag of the nation that allows freedom and a life they wish to live. If the flag of The United States of America offends you and this country offends you, why do you not try living in another and see how that goes?
Because we want this country to live up to the promises it made.
We love the ideals, not the blood and soil.
@@Justanotherconsumer Whose blood? Certainly not yours. If it's the soil you do like. I suggest that you try the soil some place else and don't worry you won't be missed.
In the Vietnam protests, I believe the flag was usually the property of the protesters, not of another party like the University.
@@JustanotherconsumerI think we have different ideals.
You mean the same nation that was going to send them to kill and die to fight an immoral war that they opposed? I wonder why they would be upset???. I don't see what is happening now to being any different to protests that have gone on before including the riots against being drafted to fight during the US Civil War.
THAT is one of THE greatest signs of HOPE, I've seen in a LONG TIME. Way to go, BROTHER. THESE ARE REAL AMERICANS.
And so are the protesters.
Dissent is not treason.
@@JustanotherconsumerDon't desecrate our flag.
It's just a flag. It isn't sacred, and it certainly isn't as important as the tens of thousands of Palestinian lives lost during Israel's campaign of genocide during this time.
@@JustanotherconsumerThese “protesters” couldn’t find Israel on a map. Just the current thing to be enraged about….they are on the wrong side.
@@xlandros Straw man.
Does it _really_ matter if anyone knows geography? If the "wrong side" is being against Israeli policy and the IDF's actions, then count me as being wrong too.
So glad you posted this because it brightens my day so much! These guys are the spiritual descendants of our founders and all those who have in the moment defended our republic! 👍👏(would have added the American flag emoji but UA-cam doesn't offer that...I think they should fix that now!)

Ward, Thanks for not only posting, but your kind words to the young man are spot on! There are some great patriotic kids out there, and you taking time to give them a boost is what we as the "old guy" generation need to do more of.
I'm glad to see some of these young people understand the basics. Not very optimistic for our future but at least not all is lost.
Thanks Ward For sharing this!
Ty W.C.!!! When i freeze-framed that moment when the Stars & Stripes was draped. It reminds of my grandfather's famous pic of the WW2 soldiers hoisting the stars & stripes & its pole on Iwo Jima Island. This is worth framing. Glad this vid was in my feed

They can’t cry “occupation” while literally occupying a university campus 🤦🏻♂️ 🇺🇸 🇮🇱
Good point.
You'd think for a group who is touchy about walls and checkpoints, they wouldn't put up so many walls...and checkpoints🤣
That's not how any of this works. It is their constitutional right to protest, it was never Israel's right to occupy the land of another peoples
You can when the University is funding the occupation.
@@SF7PAKISTAN so you deny Jesus existed? Or do you deny he was Jewish? If either of those are true (they both are, and I'm saying that as an atheist) then you are wrong.

Amen brother! As a one time refugee and now a proud US citizen I couldn’t agree more with you. I have the outmost respect and love for this country. A country that took my parents my brother and I in as political refugees from Cuba long ago. There’s no need to disrespect this nation and the many men and women that sacrificed so much, sometimes their lives, so that you and I can have the freedoms and rights that we do just to have some sort of citizen’s protest about whatever then issue is, no matter how important and legitimate the caThat’s what that flag represents to me. The issue is not a piece of cloth with the colors red, white and blue. The issue is the rights and freedoms that that symbol represents and the many people, our fellow citizens, that have sacrificed so much to make sure se all jave thise freedoms. Here in the US and abroad. In the military and in civilian lifr. Anyway, that’s just my opinion, I could be wrong but I strongly believe that I am not.

My father served in the Navy, my grandfather served in the army, my uncle is a marine. I've been around military people my whole life. Who rasied me to understand what the flag stands for. I am unfit for military service, too many medical problems. However, seeing these gentlemen take on the abuse and keep the flag up, brings me hope the future of this country is good hands
Thank You Commander, Nice to Know not all college kids are just Skulls Full Of Mush ‼️👍👍
These protesters have been out of control for what feels like weeks.
The IDF has been out of control for months, so… not surprising.
Just imagine what it must have been like in the 1960's with protests going on for years...
Sharing this with my teenage sons, thanks Ward, great sentiment at the end
Outstanding, Mooch. Thanks for the well-deserved shout out to these kids.
Thanks for posting this. Those kids parents (the fraternity) should be especially proud, they did well.
Still a thread of respect and decency running through America's youth. America isn't perfect, never has been. But millions of folks from around the planet come here every year to take part in our success and build a life for themselves and families that they knew couldn't be had in their former homeland.
God Bless the Republic.
There's more than a thread. As someone with a much younger sister who's in college, this isn't the norm. It's just a select few who have nothing better to do/don't care about their education who are protesting nonsensically. It's been like this forever though, if you hear from old vets. I had a 'Nam veteran neighbor and I had heard my fair share of stories about how he was treated by students when he returned. And bad news gets views, so you'll see it more often than not.
TL;DR -- Have faith; it's not as bad as it seems on the surface. Just don't give in to giving up on our youth.
Thanks for sharing this story. Ciao from Italy!

Wow. Smh. Heartfelt thanks to Guillermo and his brothers for standing up for our country. How could the protestors have become so rabid, regardless whether the response to the Hamas attack may or may not have been excessive, as if what Hamas did in the first place wasn't? It makes me wonder about the culture of child-rearing in our country during "modern" times. Seems for many there is an unjustified measure of self-entitlement. Young folks in our country in today's world have no clue how bad things can get during war time. They haven't experienced a Vietnam or a WWII. That all being said, it's been reported there have been agitators, not students, that have been trying to "stir the pot" so to speak. This kind of manipulation is important to watch out for and mitigate.
If Guillermo and his buddies came up in a military family or related environment, their experience was enough for them to know the difference. Bless them for that.
We are in trying times. Would encourage everyone to take care and try to think things through -
Thanks for sharing, and Thank you, Guillermo.
Thank you for posting this. People, old and young, need to see this and understand, as you so perfectly said, heroes come in many different forms. We could all do our part to stand up to defend this great country and the freedoms it grants to us.
i know this is unrelated to the video but for your DCS setup if you use a VR headset which one do you use id really like to know as i am intrested in getting into DCS !
Awesome presentation Ward... Thank You for posting this.... God Bless our Allies, and God Bless America!!!
NB: LDOC=last day of classes
I am saddened by the state of our country these days. I am an old guy now 70+. My father was a Naval Aviator during the Second World War and I was raised to have respect for what America stands for. He used to say, "I may disagree strongly with what you are saying but I will fight to the death for your right to say it". PEACEFUL protest is a right we all have but that right end where any form of violence begins. Destruction is violence and destruction of our flag is violence combined with disrespect. Those young men who held up the flag are Patriots and those people who violently opposed them don't have a clue about what America stands for. I am strongly in favor of peaceful protest even if I disagree with the reason for the protest. I am just as strongly opposed to violent protest. I miss my father every day and I am just a little bit glad he is not here to witness this mess. I know it would deeply trouble him.
America stands for nothing but capitalism.
Think his perspective was more relevant during the time he served, the next 70 years kind of showed how it's wrong
Gulemoe ( spelling ) brought tears of prideful joy to this old Marine eyes ! A hearty salute to you & your fraternity !
Young Men the same age as the Flag savers, were Landing on a Beach in Normandy France during WW2. I call these young men that had respect for our flag, Patriots which gives me Hope in America again.
😢🇺🇸 Well raised young men.
Truth...that takes parenting
Thank you Guillermo to you and your fraternity brothers for standing up for our country and our flag. Well done Sir! Thank you for the prompt report Mooch.
Great video!!! Thank you.
Ward, thank you for the good story of the day. You made my day better already!
They are definitely heroes.
And the college staff, they aren’t doing very much to stop this BS .
No because a lot of them have publicly agreed with the support for terrorists, and teach these values to the students. Also, seems like around 50% of the protestors on these campuses have been verified to not ever having been students.
NYPD literally arrested a couple hundred protesters last night…after responding to a call for assistance from the college president…
go ahead and look at how much money Quatar has invested in these universities in the past 2 decades. Then you will start to understand.
Then take all that Quatar money and build colleges and study in your own country.
Thank you for posting Ward!! There are so many genuinely good and respectful young men in our midst!! Unfortunately, it's the other types who seem to get all of the attention.
I appreciate how Mooch doesn't comment on these campus protests as a right wing vs. left wing debate --- he keeps it objective and down the middle, and we like that !!
Where is the Justice Department on this? Isn’t this antisemitism against our civil rights laws?
Most credible definitions of antisemitism explicitly exclude criticism of the Israeli government’s actions.
Yes anything and everything is antisemitism
@@Justanotherconsumer We have seen videos of many of these 'protesters' saying things like "We are Hamas!", "Death to Israel!", and even some chanting "Death to America!"; most of them simply excuse what Hamas did on Oct 7th, and many of them want to eradicate the State of Israel as an entity, which any intelligent person knows could only be done by massive force and bloodshed. I have no respect for them, period.
WTF is wrong with these people?
Might look into why they’re upset, getting people to ask that question is the reason protests happen.
so many things. how much time do you have?
I could not agree more Mooch! Thanks for sharing! I just logged into my X account, followed Guillermo and thanked him.
Thank you, Ward Carroll. I saw this in my feed, immediately went "wtf?!", and felt relief and pride in knowing there are some patriotic, heroic youth out there jumping into this fray. Bravo Zulu! to all those greek-frat brothers, thank you very much!
Hope this pic makes it in to many "Year In 2024" compilations.
To any protestor: It's one thing to *buy your own American flag* and disrespect it. I won't like it, nor like you, but I will respect and defend your right to protest in such a manner. Taking down and disrespecting a communal or public American flag is no bueno, and loses sympathy to your cause and speech.
The more I think about this the more it pisses me off. I actually think Netanyahu and his cabinet have gone waaaaay overboard, but these so-called protestors seem like they want to do all the things you’d do to purposefully sink your own cause’s popularity with the folks you’re trying to persuade. It’s just plain asinine. There is a juvenile sense of entitlement that is nauseating about all of these campus protests. Have a peaceful march in DC or your local city. Write to your Congressional Rep and Senators. Peacefully (and politely) serve as interlocutors and advocates on behalf of Gazan civilians, but FFS, stop occupying campus buildings and tearing down US flags. All you’re achieving is pissing off everyone including the folks you want on your side.
There’s a classic piece by MLK, his letter from jail, that talks about why moderates that “only want peace” are a bigger obstacle than those who directly oppose the cause.
It’s a good read, and important to understanding how protest movements work.
Forcing those who want to be able to ignore the protest to pay attention is critical.
Lazy complacency of the “why can’t they just protest in a way that doesn’t bother me” is often the direct target of an effective protest.
@@Justanotherconsumer To an misguided idiot...
I knew someone was gonna post this, but while I agree with the general sentiment I wholeheartedly disagree that it applies here. These folks are “protesting” by destroying property, some (not all) calling for the elimination of a people, and doing things in a manner entirely counter-intuitive to their cause. Not only that, but these kids ended up being the violent side while LE took it easy on them (and I am NO friend of LE). You don’t need to destroy to get your point across. Why not carry a 3 ft x 5 ft color pictures of dead, wounded, starved and maimed Palestinian non-combatants? Have 100 folks hold those graphic images on every corner in town, no words, no slogans, just vivid proof of the Netanyahu government’s wanton disregard for life. Do that and quit this juvenile bullshit.
@@Justanotherconsumer I'll wager you did not make a single post denouncing Hamas massacre/kidnappings of over a 1000 innocent Israelis on Oct 7th, did you? Nor did you make a single post denouncing the Syrian government when they murdered over 150,000 of their citizens over the past decade, virtually all who were Muslims...did you? You are a hypocrite!
@@Justanotherconsumer Thinking that ripping down the American flag and replacing it with a Palestinian flag will win people over to their side is delusional
God bless our country and these young men
Just saw Indo-Pac Commander is retiring. What place in line do you have to do a deep dive with Admiral Aquilino? Pardon my impudence, but since a team is stronger than its individuals, can I propose a “task-force” convocation to meet beforehand, that can represent and meld divergent specific issues into a wide band over-view into a cohesive focus? Thank you.
Amen to that Ward. So well said.
Stay cool and rational out there.
De-escalate ecape and avoid but carry defensive tools ON you.... of which are awareness and verbal judo
