    Not students:

    Approximately 134 of the 282 people taken into custody at Columbia University and CCNY were not affiliated with either school -- more than 47%.

    Janice Yu is live in Morningside Heights with details on the pro-Palestine protest.
    At Columbia, 32 people arrested were not affiliated with the school, while about 80 people were. At CCNY, 102 people arrested were not affiliated, and 68 were.

    The estimates are based on preliminary background analysis by NYPD. The city is forwarding the lists of arrested protesters to the universities to cross-check and determine the current status of those arrested.

    "There were individuals on the campus that should not have been there," Adams said. "There were people who are professionals. We know the terminology 'outside agitator' was used during the Civil Rights movement, when people attempted to show that the movement was not legitimate, and we understand that."

    For some, the term "outside agitator" brings back memories of the Civil Rights movement. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. famously wrote about being called an outside agitator in the now-historic letter from the Birmingham jail in April 1963.

    "Now look here, you Baltic gas passer... " - Mik, 6/14/08

    The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

          In the comments:

          • Are they shooting an adult film?
          • If you don't send the Vaseline, you wont need the HIV test
          • I’m ok with the birth control.
          • “GET ME THOSE DIVA CUPS NOW WE HAVE A MAN DOWN”

          And the ever thoughtful Iowahawk:

                        I'm surprised not one person has made that comment in the "At 92" thread.

                            To me they look like people who ought to know better than they do.

                            Which reminds me….

                            The other day during a press conference in NYC the mayor made some statement to the effect that agitators from the outside were brought in to radicalise “our children” attending the university. I agree that protesting students behave like children but they are adults 18 years of age of and over. They should be called adults and treated like adults. Calling them children lets them off the hook for their actions. The mayor, whoever he is, is way out of line referring to the students as children. I can only hope he too knows better. I doubt it.

                              If I'm honest I don't really think I was an adult until I was at least 25. Some have said considerably later.

                                Point taken that few people, especially males, do act like adults until over 21. Some never do. But that is not the my point. 18 year olds are legally adults, not children. While their behaviour may be childish, their responsibility and accountability are those of an adult.

                                  As I've said many, many times. It's not like, at age 21, the "maturity switch" gets flipped to the "on" position.

                                    Americans aren't allowed to drink at 18, so they are still being treated differently at that age in that way at least.

                                      In some states, like Wisconsin, it was permitted for beer. A Friday night trip up to Kenosha was a common occurrence in the college crowd.

                                      I believe it's still permitted if in the company of your parents. I had beers at a restaurant with D2 when she was 19.

                                        Americans aren't allowed to drink at 18

                                        In some states, like Wisconsin, it was permitted for beer. A Friday night trip up to Kenosha was a common occurrence in the college crowd.

                                        I believe it's still permitted if in the company of your parents. I had beers at a restaurant with D2 when she was 19.

                                        Which really emphasizes the point that they're not considered to be fully adult. Obviously, they can join up and go fight in wars and shit, but they're not allowed to drink because it's bad for their health or something.

                                        I was only joking

                                          Yeah, but you can get pretty shit-faced on beer, amirite?

                                          But your point about drinking with an adult/parent/guardian is a valid one.
