What's a proportionate response to a peaceful protest? I mean other than leaving the protestors alone.

@HeerJeet You could give them food and water and medical care if they need it. That would be proportionate.
@HeerJeet It depends, if they impede others from their livelihood or waste their time they should pay damages.
@HeerJeet Letting the protesters protest is a fundamental right.
@HeerJeet 'One dude with a notepad' used to be a popular (and chilling) response?
@HeerJeet No universal healthcare and now no freedom to protest Israel's genocide
@HeerJeet Best I can think of is a peaceful counter-protest, but obviously if you’re willing to abuse power and ignore the constitution, using force is much more effective
@HeerJeet A university President asking them to their face to leave, mostly.
@HeerJeet So all restrictions on campus peaceful protest ... all of them... are bad? Time, interference with classes or finals... room for other protesting groups or speakers... building things on campus space... restricting by viewpoint? No restrictions are ok?
@HeerJeet Did you not read McWhorter’s oped? There are DRUMS.
