Bear in mind these university incidents are always targeting kids, usually in their first year. Almost none of them have any life experience to prepare them for the full force force of the administrative system coming down on them, alongside the loosely organised syndicate of student special interest groups who hate him for what he is. Also given their demographics, they have no experience of mentorship from the education system either, because nobody wanted them. Until they became a PR problem, that is.

It's very easy for them to want to fight but have no practical idea how to, then some lawyer (waaaay to many are woke ideologians looking to score some woke points) or faux sympathetic administrator comes along to advise them that if they just demonstrate good faith first and have a little patience, that will get the administration to listen to them seriously. They know what they're doing with that advice, but they know how to make it seem reasonable, maybe even make it seem noble to rein in your emotions and 'be the bigger man' for a while. All whilst knowingly crippling the young boys' position.

Personally that statement smacks of being coached/ghostwritten, especially considering the much more straightforward sentiments expressed in the incident video. It's not necessarily weakness, it could just be foolishness.

It's fine to be a little mad at their naiveté, I wasn't that fucking gullible even as a fresh faced kid, but don't be surprised when someone throws some kids to a pack of wolves and they sometimes try to bark like one.
