According to the reports, the protestors blocked students from entering or exiting the library. So I’ll stand by my use of finger quotes on “peaceful” even if there was no physical violence.

That's a good question but I don't know the nature of her participation in the protest vs her reporting on the protest.

If you enjoy knee jerk reactions with ad hominem attacks, there is another site called X where people do that all the time. You'll feel right at home there.

If that's the word you use for people with views that differ from yours, then I'll accept the insult proudly.

Because I don't agree that occupying the library, barring access and egress to students, and not dispersing when asked to do so by security is consistent with peaceful protest.

For balance / context, here is the statement from the university in the disruption to students caused by the protesters occupying the library in the middle of exams:

Here is a report on the "peaceful" protest that occupied and blocked the school's library, blocking students from entering or leaving, mentioning efforts by campus security to unsuccessfully disperse the protesters.
