Protesting students at UT Arlington who demand the university system divest from companies that profit off the war in Gaza shared this video of UTA philosophy professor Charles Hermes being arrested for the simple act of putting up a tent in solidarity with the student protest.

The protest at UT Arlington is led by the Progressive Student Union. They first shared this video captured by one of the protesters on the PSU Instagram.

So the crime is putting up a tent?

So he wanted to be arrested to draw attention to his cause.

You can’t ‘encamp’ on school property.

That Uni has been overrun with immigrants.

Keel haul

Don’t support terrorism and you’ll be able to lose the tissues, you incompetent little pussy.🤷‍♂️

@TexasObserver I didn't take the video and wasn't there at the time it was taken
