Have you actually been to Harvard during the protests? The protesters
are more than willing to 'pay the fiddler,' and have in fact been
paying in multitudes for two weeks. The proof is right before your eyes.

Don't trust the crimson.
By that I mean that their articles are very slanted and their surveys
poorly executed.
If you want to gauge support for the protesters, go down there and use
your eyes. It's not that far.
Also, the idea that the Harvard administration is waiting for the
protesters to be civil is bullshit. Neil isn't civil, nor is he
honest.
But protesting is still fun. I just came back from one. We got our
asses kicked (literally), but it was still fun.
