I have just observed the reaction to this (from the relative safety of stranmillis). Imagine if the same tactics were used in response to disturbances on the falls or shankhill? There would be uproar, and rightly so. But no, there's no uproar here, because sure it's only students. And when a few people voice their annoyance at this, all our representatives can do is mock.
