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.

Thursday night I’ll be back in NY at a fundraiser with my friend in leadership there. Can’t wait to get her take.

Gee, I sure hope this criminal behavior doesn’t show on their record..

Get the fire hoses.

[LuFins Dad]

Or better yet, something gross and embarrassing.

Dear Columbia Protestors, et al.... divestment won't work.

A group of Jewish students has filed a class-action lawsuit against Columbia for failure to provide a "safe learning space."

We all say, "LOL" with stuff like that.

But, in this case, I really did.

A different perspective ...This guy is rooting for the protesters...

I call that the LLOL (literally laughed out loud)

What I would pay for a nice mass arrest video, it would be so great.

Deport 'em.

Deport 'em all.

He nails it pretty well.

[Copper]

Here’s why.

Because the protests are revealing the rot in American universities.

Yup

The absolute BALLS...

A Columbia University protester representing anti-Israel campus occupation protesters asked the institution to provide people occupying Hamilton Hall with food and water.

During a press conference on Tuesday, the individual said that Columbia is “obligated to provide food to students who pay for a meal plan here.”

”I guess it’s ultimately a question of what kind of community and obligation Colombia feels it has to its students? Do you want students to die of dehydration and starvation or get severely ill even if they disagree with you?,” graduate student Johannah King-Slutzky asked.

The protester said that food and water for occupation protesters “is like basic humanitarian aid.”

”We’re asking for, like, could people please have a glass of water?,” the individual said.

Let them dehydrate and starve.

Freeze their bank accounts too. When they realize they have lost access to money they’ll come out with their hands up.

No sympathy whatsoever. These kids embody white privilege.

Very nice graphics to help visualize "how pro-Palestinian college protests have grown."

[George K]

Perhaps the Washington Post could have labeled it "How anti-Israeli college protests have grown."
