What’s happening at Columbia?

Why would they think they have amnesty? If there is no potential risk, no possible repercussions, then there is no power to their message. That’s stupid. Getting suspended or expelled makes them brave. Not facing discipline makes them whiny little bitches.

Wait until they discover that is not an example of the spirit of ecumenism.
Joking and deserved mockery aside, I can just imagine the visceral reaction of Chris Hitchens to these naive imbeciles if he were still alive.

Mark Levin (whom I can only abide in the smallest of doses) had Douglas Murray on his show. Nothing really new in either of their opinions, but it was Murray, so I watched a bit of it.

The Return of ‘Mostly Peaceful’
https://www.nationalreview.com/2024/04/the-return-of-mostly-peaceful/
At the Washington Post, campus rallies in which activists daydream aloud about the extermination of Israel are characterized merely as “antiwar demonstrations.”
“At Columbia, the Protests Continued, With Dancing and Pizza,” read the headline of an April 19 New York Times article.
“At a moment when some campuses are aflame with student activism over the Palestinian cause — the kind that has disrupted award ceremonies, student dinners and classes — college administrators are dealing with the questions that Columbia considered this week: Will more stringent tactics quell protests? Or fuel them?” the Times asked.
The report goes on to cite “academic freedom experts” — that’s a fun business card — who believe it sets a dangerous precedent for Columbia University administrators to break up a pro-Hamas encampment that cropped up this month on campus and send the trespassing students packing. Not in a million years would the Times or its “experts” question the wisdom of Columbia or Harvard in deciding to forcibly remove, say, a pro–Ku Klux Klan rally, one replete with slogans cheering for the murder of Jews, Catholics, and blacks, from university grounds. Yet we are asked to consider seriously the notion that it might set a dangerous precedent for academic freedom for campus administrators to ask for the police to remove students cosplaying as Hamas terrorists.
Ah! No more Death-to-the-Jews rallies! Can academic freedom survive this?

You know, it’s probably about time to spray those lawns with insecticide.

Good. Place their children in child protective services. Make these idiots explain to a senior caseworker or a judge, why they should get them back.

Yes I would support having all minors present at these protests put into protective services.
Protesters, especially identifiable ringleaders/organizers and any actively participating university faculty, should have their bank accounts frozen as well.

Somewhere I read that among the demands of the "students" is a provision that any suspension, expulsion or arrest not be on their student records, because if you FA you don't want to FO in the future.
