I'm not gung-ho for the Occupiers in every case, but these students were doing it correctly, and they got messed over. If anyone wants, I can explain (for the umpteenth time, though first time on MB) why this was completely uncalled for.

For what? Sitting, making a peaceful protest? "They were blocking people's path" No they weren't, they were sitting on the quad. I went there, I know the place. It's a huge one block by one block grass field with a walkway down the middle. There's so much room to go around that that argument falls flat in an instant if you know the place. "They shouldn't have been protesting." Ok STFU, you're ignorant. Sorry, reliving old arguments.
