"If someone is speaking more about 'violent encampments' than they are about violent genocide of the Palestinians, they have a problem reflective of deep and dangerous biases," said one supporter.
“nearly 100%” is probably as close as you can get without actually observing every protest from beginning to end including all behaviors of everyone present
What does nearly mean 99% 90% 70% or can we go as low as 51% and call that nearly 100%. Its purposefully is vague as shit. I’ve seen videos of violence so i can say for 100% certainty its not 100% peaceful.
Just over a week after U.S. President Joe Biden defended police crackdowns on dozens of anti-war protests on college campuses by declaring that students don’t have “the right to cause chaos,” a new analysis on Friday showed that nearly all the campus demonstrations have not been violent at all—and many that have descended into violence did so due to police interventions or aggressive counter-protests.
The Armed Conflict Location and Event Data Project (ACLED) examined 553 campus protests that took place across the U.S. between April 18-May 3 and found that fewer than 20 resulted in serious violence or property damage—meaning that 97% of the protests remained non-violent.
Jeez louise, all you had to do was read 2 paragraph…
Nearly 100% defiantly isn’t 100%. And I’m 100% sure anyone who says anythibg with 100% confidence is a lying bastard.

So why did they say “nearly 100%” and not “97%”
