An interesting and meaningful result of the recent solar eclipse April 8, 2024 that I didn’t recognize till now;

Protesters arrested amid crackdown on pro-Palestine student rallies across US campuses
At least 34 arrested at University of Texas in Austin and 50 more detained at University of Southern California while House speaker jeered at Columbia University.

Steve, do you mean the eclipse influenced the folly? But protests are all around the world, even without an eclipse. And outcomes are various. Peaceful protesters are not always so peaceful and sometimes they step beyond what they are supposed to do, like they occupy university rooms or areas, or prevent speakers from speaking. On the other side, policemen sometimes step over their legal duty. It's an invisible border, with lots of grey areas in there.
I agree though that the eclipse might have exacerbated the moods.
