The only “outside agitator” I’ve heard them refence is a 63 year old woman who’s been involved in peace and environmental protests. They obviously can read her Wikipedia page the same as us, but choose to only refer to her with boogeyman terms. She’s exactly what you’d expect a 63 year old female peace activist would look like but they want you to conjure up images of a grizzled Antifa veteran clad in black and tossing Molotov cocktails.
I’m not from the US so I’ve been finding this story a little hard to track. It’s so weird. I was on a Joe Rogan sub (I don’t usually follow) and commenters were saying that over 60% of arrests were ‘outsiders’. No idea where they go that stat.
They might be being deceptive/deceived. There have been some protests where their policy is to only arrest non-students, so counting people who were “arrested” will have a different sampling than the people who are protesting. I certainly haven’t seen any reputable claim that most protesters on campuses are non-students.

Never trust any statistics you haven’t personally forged
