UMD put up fencing and metal detectors, and flew up a security drone, as if to justify their failed claim that security was the reason for revoking the Palestinian protest permit today - overturned by a federal judge. The event went fine. A few hundred folks, speeches, prayers, Palestine flag.

Wouldn't it be amazing if Pres. Pines sent a letter saying, "I guess we overreacted. Thank you everyone for protesting responsibly." Holding breath for that.

@philipncohen more likely they will use the fact that they "had to" place fencing and security to imply that protest was tense / violent in hindsight, and use that to justify not allowing more protests.
