Maelstrom: Hooded figures break into Columbia buildings, take hostages; UCLA protestors block Jewish students from classes
American Thinker ^ | 30 Apr, 2024 | Monica Showalter

It's like someone out there issued an order ...

It's getting to be a maelstrom out there, with weak university responses emboldening pro-Hamas campus protestors.

Columbia University bought itself a boatload of trouble by ignoring its own deadline yesterday to make protestors clear out, although suspension notices were reportedly issued to some.

Now pro-Hamas protestors are taking over school buildings and taking hostages. Last night, hooded men crawled up the university building known as John Jay Hall where the administrators work and got out hammers to smash glass to break into the building, barricading it with junked furniture, and taking three maintenance workers in the building hostage. And like the Munich Olympics terrorists of 1972, they put on their black masked skinsuit ensembles and crawled up into a freshman student dorm full of 18 year olds called Hamilton Hall and took it over.

They're also reportedly physically assaulting and beating up Jewish students now.

And the faculty have joined, creating a new problem:

And in the swamp style, a 'consultant' and NGOs have crawled out of the woodwork:

SNIP

It's definitely an escalation, and coming at the same time, happening at the most prestigious universities in the largest cities in the U.S. has the feel of a directive given.

If this were a peaceful protest, as these university leaders are treating it, the protestors would have made their point and gone home. But it's not. It's a coercive thug action, as if might makes right, and never mind about the debate of ideas that a university is supposed to be about. The Columbia president is going full 'Clark Kerr' and allowing protestors to crawl all over her.

*****

As were the blm/antifa activities in 2020.

There is an active terrorist network in this country....and it isn't white supremacists.

Apparently all the thousands of NYC Police are off today.

They’re never going to do it but all you have to do is send in the National Guard one time. Arrest everyone on site and prosecute them or the fullest extent of the law. Expel all students involved. Fire all non-tenured faculty who participated and suspend those with tenure. Then this would end… but it’s not going to

Go in with SWAT teams and take them all down.

The ones that survive, imprison them for life.

What country do we live in now?

Conservatives have NO responsibility to save woke-marxist Columbia from the consequences of their own ideology and actions.

Lets hope this “protest” goes on for a year. It will destroy Columbia and force every admininistration, their board, and particularly their alumni to take action reform to these marxist cesspits.

That sentence is not at the link. Is that your own addition, or did the source article edit it out?

Hmmmm.... "building named John Jay Hall".

Wonder if anybody on any side of this article knows who John Jay was.

Noems rights to kill dogs is of more importance to people here than blocking Jews from schools.

This isn’t even a top 1000 issue here.

"... barricading it with junked furniture, and taking three maintenance workers in the building hostage..."

What am I missing here? Can ANYONE tell me, any SANE person tell me, why that place isn't swarming with armed SWAT teams, using deadly force to free the hostages?

Are they not hostages? Is this Kabuki Theater? When someone like Monica Showalter says "hostages" I presume they really are hostages.

WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON HERE?

Oh, wait. I know. There are no SWAT teams available. They are all resting from the dawn raids on Trump associates, Catholics who protest outside abortion clinics, and people who speak up at school meetings.

And this crap will keep going on until after the election...this is Soros’ doing as was 2020, and it will be just like the 2020 “summer of love” riots, only with more serious destruction since they got away with it last time. If they take hostages and Police do not kill the perps, blue cities will probably be without utilities (electric, water) leading up to election day

Okay, hostages, physically assaulting and beating up students? Is this real and verified? I'm asking as I've been listening to Fox News and zero mention of hostages, etc.

If so, then they are real terrorists and should be shot on sight.

I have not seen police or anything-—our government is simply encouraging these radicals to continue their “brown shirt” directives.

I knew we never should have allowed Muzzies into America. They are not American material. They never will be. They are sandbox trash.

This is all scripted to generate a fake excuse for the government to “help” people have “access” to vote again with more vote by cheat than 2022 or 2020.
