A man who was arrested during the Columbia University protests on Tuesday is also accused of stealing and burning an Israeli flag during a Manhattan protest last month, police and sources said Thursday.

James Carlson, 40, of Brooklyn, was arrested Wednesday and charged with criminal mischief, arson, and criminal possession of stolen property in connection to the April 20 incident, according to the NYPD.

Carlson allegedly took the 22-year-old man’s Israeli flag and lit it on fire during a protest near West 116th Street and Amsterdam Avenue at around 10 p.m., authorities said.

The victim followed Carlson and two accomplices into the crowd when one of the accomplices threw a rock at the man’s face, police said. The victim suffered minor injuries and refused medical attention at the scene.

The other two suspects have not been arrested, police said.

Sources said Carlson was among the protesters arrested at Columbia University Tuesday night. He was charged with criminal trespassing.

Carlson was arraigned in the flag and protest incidents on Thursday and released without bail, according to court records.

I had to hold the phone πŸ“± away from my ear.

The waitress showed up at my table thank the Lord so I was able to go.

Do the same to an American flag and nobody cares. Tell me who runs everything without telling me who runs things.

I would have said to a so-called friend that was acting like that “are you being friggin anti-semetic?” And hung up on him. If that ended the friendship then so be it.

New York is trying to reduce to zero the amount of time between committing a crime and being arrested, and being gently and softly released and returned unsupervised to the city streets to perpetrate more violence.

It’s a long, hard Soros-inspired slog, but apparently some city somewhere needs to do it.

Released without bail... meanwhile:

Outrage erupts when authorities toss 2 farmers in prison on 30-day sentences . ( Pennsylvania )

“The state claims this is a punishment for not complying with a subpoena to turn over documents, but an agency can’t just order anyone to turn over any document they please. For a subpoena to be valid, the jurisdictional validity of the subpoena must be established, and it has not been in this case:

No trial, no rights, no bail- total violation of their rights.

I’ve already written another alcoholic former friend off (for all intents and purposes)

This guy was a coworker, basically very same years ago. I do believe that he’s lost his mind in many ways.

So I basically don’t call him anymore because I can’t deal with the insanity.

He’s been pushing “flat Earth” for some time now. He backed way off. Then started up again. I told him that people were going to consider him insane.

He’s now promoting supersession. Doesn’t know the term, but acting it out.

If the U.S. Congress ends up getting its way, even burning an Israeli flag one has purchased, and legimately owns, will be a federal crime—a “hate” crime—and lead to arrest, prosecution, conviction, and jail time.

I warned him once again that Satan will try to destroy the Jews and be slaughtered at Armageddon. I doubt that it got through.

He must have been drunk when he called. I was being seated for dinner by the hostess.

So the Jews run everything? Interesting. Did they also mastermind their own near extinction during the 1940s? Such a crafty bunch. You are obviously a deep thinker, wastedyears.

Tell your friend that you would really like to see is for Israel to regard HAMAS and their supporting terrorists the same as HAMAS regards Israel in this religious war: Israel must be destroyed and the Jewish people exterminated before "peace" is possible.

Remind your friend that because this is a religious war -- not a political war -- political solutions (such as the ludicrous "two-state solution" that the terrorists have persistently rejected on the condition that Israel cannot exist as one of the two states, have not, do not, can not and will not serve as a solution.

And for an extra kicker, educate your friend that in the 6,000-year history of the geographical region known as Palestine, there has never existed -- at any time -- an arab state, there has never been a muslim state, and there has never been a "palestinian" state in the region. What there has been over the past 6,000 years is a succession of three Jewish states, including the current Jewish state establshed in 1948, over 76 years ago.

It’s protestant heresy that prepared the ground, from which grew or brought runaway antisemitism.

Faithful Catholic societies historically protected the jews from 1940’s-scale persecution.

It’s OK to ask. 😁

Basically that the Church is now “Israel”

Yet there are very clear and direct prophecies of the End Times.

For example Ezekiel 38 - not everyone believes that it’s coming.

Keep an eye on Israel, Iran, Turkey and Libya.

And it appears that Russia does in fact get a “hook in the jaw” - how, dunno

God bless πŸ˜‡
