    Talk to the Resident. This could have been nipped in the bud, but he wants the votes.

        From what I'm reading, this went on for almost two hours. With no major police presence.

                        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.

                              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.

                                        ….made use of flash bangs

                                        As they should going into an occupied building or area where there was the possibility of belligerence and weapons of any sort being used to resist law enforcement. If the occupants were frightened, saw stars and their ears rang for a few hours or more after, that’s just too bad for them. They ought not to have been there in the first place.
