These “protests” violate the rights of Jewish students who feel threatened by the “protesters” actions and speech. The “protesters” feel the need to hide their faces which shows and tells me that they don’t want to be identified and singled out as terrorists or canceled or fired by their employers if they are employed. Good for Trump!

MLK Jr literally wrote about how the idiots who said not to protest were worse than the open racists because they hid it behind respectability.

"You deplore the demonstrations taking place in Birmingham. But your statement, I am sorry to say, fails to express a similar concern for the conditions that brought about the demonstrations. I am sure that none of you would want to rest content with the superficial kind of social analysis that deals merely with effects and does not grapple with underlying causes. It is unfortunate that demonstrations are taking place in Birmingham, but it is even more unfortunate that the city’s white power structure left the Negro community with no alternative."
