LOL!!!!
And yet, the ones you get in a froth about are the oens being assaulted.
The phrease "outside agitators" was coined by segregationists to discredit the Civil Rights movements
How nice for them. Sounds like the universities should be addressing that. Not state enforcers
OK with it? No. But, if they are students, faculty, or staff, I'd say they had a right to be there. I'd expect the university to act accordingly.
They sent in New York City's armed enforcers.
The Eric Adams Babble Hour
Ya, its just the constitution. And governments always stop with the first group of protestors. Never goes further than that.
Citizens have a right to an education, correct. How are the protests stopping that? People can push through a protest or go around it.
So Jews should have to PUSH their way through a crowd of violent Hamas-lovers to get to class?
How do you know they are violent? How is their free speech violating rights?
If you are using your body to prevent me from engaging in my constitutionally protected activity of getting education, with an unsanctioned protest activity, you are using violence.
Huh.
there really wasn't a big problem until the enforcers showed up. According to the timeline from the Columbia student newspaper, the contentiousness seems to be about Columbia changing their stance regarding peaceful protests specifically for this protest. Looks like the fake tough guy act the administration attempted escalated the situation
In violation of Columbia's own rules. And of course, the NYPD had to escalate the situation.
You mean the rioters who actually showed up armed and tried to kill people?
It is against school policy to take over the quad and use it for a long-term protest space. And use that protest space to ban people from getting to class because of what they look like.
Nobody showed up armed and wanted to kill people.

Protesters were actually trying to leave. The obstruction actually was because of the officers. If not for the officers, student would've had acces.
Protesters attempt to leave reading room protest as Public Safety demands identification

LOL!!!! Funny how you think the events of the last 2 weeks took place in a historical vacuum. This ◊◊◊◊ has been going on for years.
I saw video of the protesters taking over the library. They illegally occupied the building and engaged in civil disobedience.
fewer than the wood a woodchuck can chuck.
How the hell big is your campus? and how many protestors are there that they lock down 9 walkways on a campus that is at least half a mile wide?
Not really
I wouldn't have to ask. But I also wouldn't condone violence against peaceful (if morally reprehensible) protestors. And I don't think I'd expect the cops to go in there busting skulls. Those that join forces and all
The victims are the innocent people being slaughtered by US munitions. Having to take advanced literature online instead of in person is not the same thing. And this might shock you, but its not just Jewish kids at Columbia.
If the rights of one student at a college is violated because of his ethnicity or nationality, then the rights of every student is in jeopardy.
No one has said this. Please stop with the attacks and strawmen that paint everyone that doesn't agree with you as a anti-Semtic Jew hating, Nazi.
Except the epople who had guns, who built a gallow, who screamed "hang Mike Pence", who showed up in Walmart tactical and were repelling off balconies. As Brian Sicknick how peaceful they were. Oh, you can't. They killed him.
So have campus security deal with it. Don't violate the rules and unilaterally call in the armed enforcers.
I'd like to think we're beyond the "summary execution" phase of our blood soaked history. I guess not.
I didn't say no consequences. I have repeatedly pointed out the disproportionate response. Also, Columbia changing and violating their own rules on the fly shows they were not dealing in good faith.Oh, did you think you should have the right to engage in civil disobedience which restricts the rights of other people without any consequences?? Pooor babies.
Ya, we heard that before. There's never a proper way. There will always be something wrong with it. A dude sitting quietly before a football game was too much for this country.
Some people call that "good trouble".
Strawman. I never uttered such words.
Again there's no proof anyone was targeted over ethnicity by the protestors. You have trolls who went to confront them and tried to claim they were denied because they were Jewish. There were Jewish students among the protestors.
Its disgusting you are engaging in the anti-Semitic trope that "all Jews = Israel"
Summary execution?
Maybe. I don't think violent reprisals and kidnapping should be among them.
Really stretching the definition of "victim" there.
That was quite a leap, Evel Knievel.
Ok, then what did he mean when he said that not all of the students at Columbia are Jews??
Every accusation is an admission...
That was me. You keep talking like only Jewish students were dealing with the protests at Columbia. All students were. The protests were not about targeting Jewish students.
Fox News and Trump REgime said the protest were targeted at Jews.... so you're wrong!
Some of them did target Jews and Jewish-owned businesses.
