This comment is is a severe over-reach and hilariously, just as bad as the girls over-reach in the video.
It was the Police Lives Matter sticker, coupled with them being white, in a space I'm certain was designated for POC (I went to school at a very liberal institution and had to deal with the same thing) that set them off. I was asked to remove myself from a space that was designated for POC, and had no idea I'd even infringed on it. I shrugged, then left without incident... and laughed with my friends later about how stupid it was. I didn't show up in a Blue Lives Matter shirt looking for conflict the next day. And I think that's the difference. Take it up with the Administration if you're bent out of shape about a space reserved for POC... but trolling it is just sad.
While, as a sane person, I think they are absolutely ridiculous, I also have zero doubt that they were completely serious. And that they were drawing on the merit of a very serious issue to create unnecessary and undeserved drama. But I also think both parties were looking for drama.
The only ones who brought the drama were the two racist girls.
