I would've thought its a good thing that students didnt cause terror in the streets. I would imagine that if a group of students started protesting outside accy town hall to the extent of the armed forces being called out then Accy web would be complaining for weeks about the waste of tax payers money.

In the past, students had idealism, which saw them take to the streets to protest against things like unjust wars, racism, and broader social inequalities.
All things we still have, but today's students are more concerned with their own futures, especially finacial. Not commenting as to why this is so, it's just a fact.
Your extreme naivety is rapidly losing it's charm.
