DePaul University enumerates the crimes and damage caused by "peaceful protesters": Death threat, battery, $180K damage

From DePaul University:

The following is a selection of the many social media posts, images, data and quotes that exemplify the escalation of the impact of the encampment on DePaul’s Lincoln Park quad from a peaceful protest to an unsafe and intimidating environment for all DePaul and local community members. Data and images demonstrate the inability of the university to carry on normal, safe campus operations and also demonstrate hateful, discriminatory and intimidating signs and actions.

Some images on this page may be harmful or traumatizing and contain explicit or violent material. Viewer discretion is advised.
