@George-K that's just swell. Let's bring the war over here.
Talk to the Resident. This could have been nipped in the bud, but he wants the votes.

Supposedly, at UCLA a Jewish girl was beaten unconscious.
From what I'm reading, this went on for almost two hours. With no major police presence.
Things that make you go hmmm....

That life takes money to live and travel. Where's the money coming from?

I'm sure these came with instructions. I saw several on their "campground".

Note the price, although I'm sure they can be found cheaper.

Cry harder:
Again, I'm all for being fair. Charge and prosecute the students for misdemeanors. If they miss finals, tough cookies.
Charge and prosecute any non-students vigorously. If that also means misdemeanors, so be it. If they are known agitators, throw the book at them.

I think that these "protests" will quickly die down now. Two weeks from now, there wont be much left, especially after the semester has ended for most of the schools.

Probably has two. Ask Nathan Wade.

I watched much the Columbia dispersal and roundup live last evening on the television - FYI, not on a US news channel either.
I thought the NYPD undertook their mission in a measured and determined professional fashion. My congratulations to them. I hope too see similar here should the need arise.
Ultimately though, as was demonstrated two years ago in Ottawa, police restraint in these matters is almost wholly dependent on the rabble and its ringleaders. Sometimes chips will fly.

I read a report that stated that tear gas was NOT used in the entry into Hamilton Hall, but they did make use of flash-bangs.
