Pro-Hamas protestors get Columbia to cancel commencement, but run into trouble when they try to shut down the Met Gala

Commencement scrapped? Sure. But nobody messes with the festival of the fops put on by the devil who wears Prada.

Pro-Hamas protestors have been feeling their oats lately, proud to have run circles around Columbia University for weeks with their illegal and smelly campouts, their antisemitic signs and screams, their building takeovers, their endless 'negotiations,' their adoring media coverage, and the groveling of their woke university leaders anxious to please them.

This crap went on for weeks, with deadline after deadline missed, suspensions reversed, non-charges filed, food delivered, and other foofaraw until the cops were finally called in and tasked with the dirty job of shutting them down and hauling them off by the busload.

They're out of course, but Columbia is out a commencement, saying it's too risky for more disruptions. Too bad about the kids who had put in the hard work to graduate, most of whom missed their high school graduations, too, based on COVID lockdowns. What do they need a big commencement for anyway? Gaza, Gaza, Gaza! And why wouldn't it be cancelled? The university has proven singularly inept at handling these fanatical protestors. The score? Pro-Hamas Protestors: 1, Columbia: 0.

Yup, protestors happy, got the Columbia main commencement cancelled under their belt.

Naturally, they wanted to take their show on the road after that spectacular, moving their act to the Met Gala.

They were in for a surprise.

According to HyperAllergic, a hipster e-zine of sorts:

As celebrities posed for the cameras on the Met Gala red carpet, hundreds of pro-Palestine protesters marched across Manhattan’s Upper East Side tonight, May 6, during the annual fundraiser for the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute.

A heavy police presence surrounded the museum with steel barricades, street closures, and dozens of armed officers blocking demonstrators.

The issue is never the issue; the issue is always the revolution.

Proving that the protestors can shut down the workings of higher education brings power to the revolution.

Shutting down the moral decay that has become the Met Gala, however, is counterrevolutionary, since moral decay weakens the society and makes it more vulnerable to the revolution, so the protestors there must be stopped.

Remember, to the left your worth is defined only by your usefulness to the revolution at any specific moment.

The group behind this is the communists.
It’s on the bottom of the signs they are carrying.

What the so-called left calls the revolution is actually a reset to hereditary feudalism demonstrated by North Korea, Cuba and even China.

We know that; they think they will "get it right" this time.

Nope, they think they had it right last time before 1775.
