In an age when people can self identify as something other than what they actually are, protestors who trapped employees inside a building are claiming, “This is not a hostage situation.”

Uh, yes, that’s exactly what it is.

CNN just reported: (the bolding is mine)

After weeks on campus, pro-Palestinian protesters entered and barricaded the Student Services Building at California State University, Los Angeles, Wednesday, video from CNN affiliate KABC showed.

A group of 50 to 100 protesters barricaded the exits on the first floor and blocked off areas around the building, university spokesperson Erik Frost Hollins told the Los Angeles Times. The university asked employees on the upper floors to shelter in place, Hollins said.

A small group of staff members were staying Wedneday night “to handle the situation,” the Times reported.

Demonstrators “don’t want folks inside the building,” a protester told KABC, saying, “This is not a hostage situation.”

This most definitely is a hostage situation.

I hope the federal government sends 1,000 armed law enforcement officers, arrests every single one of these hostage takers, and prosecutes them to the full extent of the law. I hope they all get put in prison for as many years as the law allows.

California is TOTALLY LOST!

With the Dems in control? Not a chance.

Or the normies could take up long distance shooting and start picking off the hostage takers.

It’s akin to white people with self hate hell some people even have a limb removed because they believe it doesn’t belong on them some types of crazy can’t be cured or treated.

[I want the USA back]

It’s a hostage situation or kidnapping or unlawful detention.
Whatever it is, the innocent parties have the right to kill the hostage takers.

The police have the right to shoot on sight.

I know it’ll never happen in Ca.

[Lazamataz]

I’m against this.

We need an Israeli attitude toward terrorists, and not just the ones where Israel is the issue.

Then they should let them go. If they don’t, those people most certainly are hostages.
