    Okay so you participated more in marches than encampments. Good for you. But before you say all you see are threats to Jewish Americans, think back to what you were accused of, and google Jews for Peace. You’ll find they’re active in these protests. Which would be kind of weird if they were in danger from their fellow protestors? Media is making it seem like these are radicals in the same way they vilified the students protesting Vietnam.

    And the 1930’s Bonus Army wasn’t homeless people. It was World War 1 veterans demanding their pay.

      Well I was never threatened the way Jewish Americans are, but you seem to know better. It seems as though you put more importance on this than I do. There are stupid people inside protests just as there are in life and they say stupid things. It’s up to others to self regulate. I don’t see a lot of that going on, but I’m not there. I see a lot of fairly stupid things coming out of these protestors.

      You are right, the bonus army were looking for wages, and it was the beginning of the depression. They stayed in tents.
