Why aren't they being forced to clean up their mess?

My question is why aren't those kids being forced to go clean up their mess. Part of the consequences of poor behavior

Notice carefully she never calls it a "mess". She calls it an "encampment".

I guess the summer of 2024 is going to be a revisit of the summer of 2020.

After they illegally occupied and trashed private property they left "peacefully"? Why not report that 2 bank robbers departed the bank peacefully? No arrest = no consequences for their actions=it will happen again and again.

About time! So disgusting this was allowed to go on for even more than a few hours from the very beginning. They should all be jailed and kept there until deported if they are not from this country!

Just leaving more messes for others to clean up. Disrupting other people’s activities and business just because they’re upset about something in the other part of the world. They should go protest over there instead

No arrests - funded by the same people that paid for the protest.
