I did not show up to protest because I did not want any trouble with my record, but I firmly believe that the news coverage and attitude towards protesters is ever more immature and incomplete than their actions ever were, DAMAGE OR NOT. Maybe those people felt like the UC could spend a little money fixing a room with all the other campus building projects that our new tuition is being used for indirectly through bonds. Everyone needs to grow up or things will get a lot uglier. while a ‘relative few’ showed up to protest, and while their actions may have been less than completely constructive, there is no reason to talk them down like they are simply a violent group of immature (and probably poor by your standards) students.
