I hope your readers watch the video at the end. Because the written post is misleading. The student first makes the valid point that some protesters have paid for the university's meal plan, so administrators have an obligation on that score. Second she notes that they're asking the university to simply not block the outside delivery of food and water. Are these requests not reasonable? Do they sound like the ravings of a whimpering revolutionary "demanding" curbside service?

Even if true, no meal plan of which I am aware delivers food to you no matter where you are, in lab, at the sports venue, in the quad, or in your dorm. You have to go to the dining hall for it. If you don’t choose to go there for a meal, they don’t put up a snack box for you to pick up at your leisure, either.

It's the context of an illegal occupation that makes them unreasonable requests, and her points invalid. I think that your post is disingenuous.

Oh my, an "illegal occupation." Civil disobedience. I gather we've retired the social consciousness of Henry David Thoreau? On the other hand, once you wrote that I'm being "disingenuous" I stopped caring about what you thought about anything. Have a nice day.

I should have said that your post is disingenuous. Fixed.

Presumably the meal plan does not include delivery to wherever you feel like being at the moment.

She explicitly admitted that she had no idea if any deliveries had in fact been blocked. Her references to starvation, death, and violence were all purely hypothetical.

People should definitely watch the video.

Committing criminal trespass after being warned to cease criminally trespassing is why criminal trespassers cannot have nice things while they are criminally trespassing.

Why should they do anything to make life more comfortable for these horrible Jew haters?

Jews are among the protesters.

The wannabe radical, self hating kind.

Blocking food deliveries would be inhumane. They should just cut off the power. Once their cell phones go dead I bet they'd leave the building in a heartbeat.
