They are Schrödinger's Protestors, existing as a cloud of probabilities until the cloud collapses into a student or an outsider depending on what is more politically convenient for the person speaking at the moment.
But are they "students" or not? I thought the esteemed mayor made reference to "outside agitators"?

If only: "Security and UCPD both retreated as pro-Israel counter-protesters and other groups attacked protesters in the encampment " The cops had the usual "Stand Back And Stand By" response.

The scale/consequences are obviously not even close to similar but the first words this brought to mind were Sabra and Shatilla.

It's definitely a plausible initial hypothesis, considering the LASD.

An electron is a "Wave", until you observe it. Then it's a "Particle". A protester is a "Student", until right before the cop beats them. Then they become a "Terrorist".

I think we can blame Tiktok somehow.

I can see him trying to twist it and say he meant students from out of state. It makes as much sense as the other stuff he's said.

In no way am I defending the mayor, but it isn’t absolute yes or no. In with the students, cause they were locked down, probably no. But the organizers & manipulators of J6 didn’t go inside either. So to stay very quantum it could be yes AND no.

Outside Agitators was an aspect of quantum mechanics first promulgated by Sheriff Jim Clark in Selma, Alabama (1965).

Sadly, protests are not invitation-only events.

Parking lot was oddly full today. Also, a number of people appearing to be protest-affiliated were milling about. Weirdly, a number of this group were clustered around the parking kiosk -- as though not regular visitors. Weird.
