Why do so many take articles like this at face value?
The students who were arrested and sent to jail reported to the two staff members afterwards who then reported to a student-reporter who attends the same University and is a protestoer herself and none of this is biased? All of this is third-person and we need more sources other than the students themselves.
Everyone who leaves jail complains about the treatment. But now they can now go back to protesting peacefully because it is their right and I’m okay with that, just the vandalism.
Edit: are we really pretending that a student isn’t an adult? They are adults and not children, right? Where are they supposed to put grown adult college students? Student jail?
Edit 2: Gosh, we really don’t like pointing out that they were privileged University students that have probably never seen a jail cell and probably. Even the journalist who wrote this is a student from City University.
The conditions we’re hearing about are inhumane,” Mitra told The Intercept. “They take away the dignity of every person in there.”
