Three professors at the University of Virginia were recorded discussing the necessity of using violence to "crash the U.S. settler state." The panel expressed support for armed resistance movements, including Hamas and Hezbollah, framing the October 7 attacks as a decisive strike against global imperialism. They advocated for teaching "Palestinian liberation" and "indigenous sovereignty" as tools to overturn the current world system.

A shooting at the University of Virginia left three football players dead, an event that is contrasted with the lack of national media attention on weekend violence in Chicago. Chicago's weekend statistics included 20 people wounded and five killed, including a 12-year-old girl. The argument is made that the media ignores urban gun violence when it does not fit a specific political narrative regarding gun control.
