Encampments have been very destructive. The one at my alma mater, UCLA, cause millions in damage, including to the irreplaceable sandstone walls of historic Royce Hall. And for what? To scrawl the hate filled "From the river to the sea" epithet all over them. How does that help anyone? That is not the equivalent of throwing tea overboard in Boston. UCLA is not an evil king unfairly taxing its subjects. It's a school trying to teach students. Interfering with a king's unfair tax on tea makes sense. Destroying school property does not.
