Well, it's only taken 6 months for the White House to condemn what's happening on American campuses. If nothing else, the approval is tacit.

@George-K those are chairs and stuff getting ready for the Columbia commencement which is held on the campus. Although the ceremony is tentative at best right now because of threats of disruption.

"Mostly Peaceful."
This person, who identifies as a reporter, states that she didn't see anything that was close to violent.

Message needs to be sent. Do not interrupt graduation.
Want to protest? Do so peacefully and in a designated spot away from the graduation ceremonies.
Interrupt graduation? You are no longer part of the Columbia community. Have a nice life.

We, as a society - and at the moment - especially the left, have the lost - if it was ever had - the concept of "peaceful protest." What's seems especially
stupidill-considered is acting in such a manner as to lose the audience whose support one should be seeking - i.e. blocking the road to an airport, destroying businesses, frightening innocents, etc. The "medium is the message" has been transformed into the "method of protest becomes the message" - and the credibility and message of these protestors is lost. -

Echoes of something which, for me, Antifa was not a participant.
I have zero tolerance for the inflamed rabble be it right libertarian conservative or leftist rabid socialist/anarchist, pro Palestine or anti Palestine, anti-this cause or pro-that cause that does not disperse when ordered and disrupts the peace through mischief and vandalism.
