Police disbanded a pro-Palestinian student protest at the University of Mississippi less than an hour after it officially started when counter-protesters threw a water bottle and other items at the protest, prompting the protesters to respond in kind with water.
When police removed the pro-Palestinian students from the Quad, a grassy area behind the library, the largely white male students roared.
“Nah, nah, nah, nah, hey, hey, hey, good bye,” the counter-protesters chanted.
