   Some states aren't like other states. The pro-Hamas fanatics  attempting to illegally "occupy" college campuses learned that the hard  way on Wednesday. 
As RedState has 
reported,  numerous encampments sprung up in the preceding week, including an  especially contentious one at Columbia University in New York City.  Chants of "Hamas, we love you" and "Globalize the Intifada" have become  commonplace. University officials have mostly responded with 
attempts at appeasement.
Extremists part of the 
@Columbia CHAZ-style occupation chant support for Hamas terror:
?Al-Qassam, you make us proud, take another soldier out?
?We say justice, you say how? Burn Tel Aviv to the ground?
?Hamas, we love you. We support your rockets too?

April 20, 2024Texas isn't New York, though, and when DPS officers in riot gear showed up at the University of Texas, beautiful chaos followed.
Palestinian  activists TACKLED to the floor and arrested as Texas DPS troops make  dozens of arrests as an unruly mob surround the officers and scream.
Hundreds of students have occupied the University of Texas- Austin and have been ordered to disperse.

April 24, 2024Intimidation  tactics by pro-Hamas supporters may work at Ivy League schools because  their blue-haired faculties are too scared to react (or are outright  supportive), but they don't play these games further south. There's a  reason you haven't seen any of this insanity in Florida either, and when  it was attempted, the consequences were severe. 
    
 Protest is not illegal. Illegally "occupying" areas despite dispersal  orders, setting up encampments, and preventing others from passing is.  There will be a lot of crying about what Texas did here, but they owe it  to their residents to keep everyone safe and not allow privileged,  entitled brats to dictate the terms in violation of the law. 
Austin  is not Gaza. There is no justification for this nonsense, and the  phrase "try that in a red state" is starting to have some real meaning.  Watch how quickly these protests stop happening in Republican-led  jurisdictions because consequences have been so swiftly doled out.  Meanwhile, you can expect the lawlessness to continue in Democrat-led  states. Once you give the pro-Hamas contingent an inch, they will take a  mile, and they aren't going to back down in the face of polite  negotiations at places like NYU, Columbia, and Yale.
