What’s happening at Columbia?
-
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.
Elbows up!

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. -

Columbia could become the next Hillendale! Winning!

Amen. The right of protest is not absolute.

Yes, if one is attempting to influence opinion, committing acts that undermine both the integrity of the messenger and the credibility of the message seems foolish.

There’s protest, then there is extortion and physical intimidation. Guess where we are?

@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.
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.

January 6 would have turned out very differently had all the protestors did so peacefully and in a designated spot away from the joint session of Congress.

Of course. Do you have a point you’d like to make? No one here has defended the actions of the people who invaded the Capitol.

Simply tourists taking selfies.
I was only joking

That’s characterizing the participants, not defending their actions.
-
Some would hold that the taking of selfies is merely a euphemism for some other less innocuous activity that was concurrent or subsequent to their wholesomeness of character and presence.
I would probably be one of those who holds that contention.

Is the Columbia protest just another example of Global Intifada?

Mayor Adams says there's nothing he can do, unless requested.
I find it surprising to learn that you can commit crimes on private property in NY and the police can’t do anything because it’s private property…
