    So the guy says at 3:35 that "there has been some speculation and I don't know if there is anything founded in it ..." then, he continues with the rumours which he just said he did not know that they were true. What a bunch of bs ... let's talk about rumours because this is the news nowadays: unfounded rumours.

    Never before had the police been able to dismantle a tent so quickly. They can also help dismantle tents on the streets.

    Students have the right to protest and should make their voices heard, but covering their faces and forcibly occupying the building is crossing the line. The school was waiting for them to cross the line.....

    The German reaction to this war is yet another example of their tolerance for atrocities. It's shameful.

    How is it different from hk university protest huh
  • sad thing is these kids just don't know their history. It's good to have active youth against injustice, but this is simply NOT THE CASE.
  • @Zingoo_

  • If your from the US and Iran is cheering you on… you might want to ask yourself some questions kids
  • @chanelled767
    If they want their voices to be heard than they should go where the conflict is.. Or is it more about causing chaos everywhere..?
