The protest group, called Super UW, occupied the Interdisciplinary Engineering Building to demand that the university sever its ties with Boeing, as the aerospace company has military contracts which the students say “are used by Israel in their US-funded genocide of Palestinian people”."
Buzz word. They tried to burn the place down.
Well, I guess that’s equal to what Palestine has dealt with
While dumpsters may be symbolic of much larger things, materially they are still only dumpsters.
Outside of the plastic lids, are the dumpsters even damaged? Big metal boxes often contain fires pretty well
