See when you give something away for free for years some think they are owed for, well, being alive.
Free? There is no "free". You mean exactly like how we subsidize our state university tuition in the same way, through state tax dollars? (England funds tuition breaks through their tax system for public university). What do you think would happen if the tuition at every state university in our country suddenly tripled (yes, I know our state university system is not connected across states) simultaneously went from $5,000 a semester to $15,000 a semester? (in England, that $5K is what they pay a year, and it has gone to $15K a year.)

If my tuition suddenly tripled in the middle of my course towards a degree, I'd get furious, too! It tripled, Dell.

Turns out the violence was contributed to by teens, non-college students rampaging with the crowds. Alot of the demonstrations was peaceful.

Unfortunately looked alot like what happened outside the Democratic Convention in Chicago in 1968.
