    Any word yet on who bought all those matching tents and construction materials for the pro-Palestine encampments?

      Probably the cheapest tents they could find. Ozark trail at Walmart. Or something similar.

      I mean, there’s a solid chance that tent is going to get destroyed by cops.

      I wouldn’t bring my good back country tent to a protest… no way no how .

            I think it’s unlikely that dozens and kids bought the exact same tent in the exact same color at the exact same time without coordination. I’ll let someone more capable than myself calculate the statistics on that.

              Right. You throw money into a pool, and send a few kids to buy all the tents. Why would they all go? Why would they get different tents? You would want them all to be as similar as possible so there is no jealousy.

              Or one of them collected a fund and went out and bought a bunch of the cheapest ones they could find? The pro-Palestine lobby doesn’t exist and have billions of dollars behind it like the pro-Israel one. Your conspiracy is barking up the wrong tree. Even homeless people in LA can afford tents, let alone students joining an expensive university.

          There are hundreds of kids protesting.

          A cheap tent on Amazon is like $35. Every individual there can probably afford their own. Or their parents can help.

          Even if it was donated… why do you think random people on the internet are even going to know?

            This is a discussion about who is funding campus protests. Why would you think it’s unusual that ask a question like this?

              Just because one side gets outside funding doesn’t mean the other side does. If they’re getting funding, it’s probably a go fund me or something like that. Lots of smaller people,

              You’re acting like it’s some big conspiracy when the reality is most college kids could afford the tent and food for a week. Your entire line of questioning is a whataboutism.
