I dunno, even if someone was outside my university and discharges two shotgun shells into the air and shouts "Fuck McDonalds" as he's being arrested, that's probably still going to scare the shit out of me and make me likely to go to a different, safer school. Most people don't want to even entertain the possibility of getting drilled by a lunatic.

The optics of him shouting "free Palestine" while shooting a shotgun outside of a Jewish place of worship seems pretty obvious what his intentions are. He's definitely not going there to celebrate the holidays.
