Liberals supported soft-on-crime policies — now that crime has come to campus
New York Post ^ | December 3, 2021 | By Nicole Gelinas

Columbia University president Lee Bollinger calls the random stabbing murder of PhD student Davide Giri on Thursday night “unspeakably sad and deeply shocking.”

It’s sad, but it’s not shocking.

Elite universities may prefer not to talk much about violent crime as much as they can avoid it, but they can’t protect their charges from what goes on in a freshly violent New York City.

Giri is the second Columbia student to be killed in a stranger-on-stranger attack in a supposedly safe public space in less than two years. In December 2019, in another attack just weeks before students were to leave campus for the holiday season, three teenagers targeted a female victim, 18-year-old Tessa Majors, in Morningside Park. They tortured her to death, holding the vulnerable young woman down and stabbing her.

The hypocrisy of liberals is emphasized emphatically.

That’s only about one student per year.

FWIW, I remember stories about Columbia students getting mugged going back to the 1960s at least. It's in what has always been a "bad neighborhood" in my lifetime.

Maybe it's worse now, but hardly a new phenomenon.

Yes, that must be acceptable losses for creating the worker’s paradise. Eggs —> omelette.

It’s not like they weren’t told where coddling criminals would lead. It’s not rocket science. But they can always find someone else to blame.

Well the Left is about to find out about its own cultivated violence.

Its comning home to roost in ALL dem Controlled Cities.

People do not feel safe, and they feel they cannot rely on either federal , municipal or state police.

The People are opting to defend themselves.

The BATF approval of arms purchases on Black Friday this year of 2021 doubled from 2020, at 186,000 in 24 hours.

People who have never had guns in their homes are buying them. Many do not know how to use or store them safely.

This is the direct effect of the Lefty Dem Commies who now run Washington DC.

One thing we learn? They always do the opposite of what they say. COnfigure yourself accordingly.

Stay safe, and ready.

Eric Holder led an armed black student occupation of a ROTC building at Columbia in 1970.

Yet the Silicon Valley, Hollywood, Beverly Hills, New York, Washington elites feel and remain secure protected by armed bodyguards and security systems that exceed the capabilities of the local police. Sure they pay tribute to the gangs as well.

Liberals are certainly willing to sacrifice their own for their misguided dreams of a utopian world without property, police, God, guns, gasoline, meat, free speech, patriotism, CO2, or anything representing civilization as we know it. If it burns, burn it. If it can fall, bring it down. Human life is expendable to them, even the lives of their fellow communists. They think their goal is whatever remains when the dust and smoke of their destruction clears.

The usual suspect. Another white supremacist in blackface. It happens often which is why Biden has declared “white supremacy” to be the gravest threat to the USA.

Nothing will happen until the body of a Columbia University president is found in a dumpster. Security on campus is one level below fat mall cop.

Every time I see guys and gals advocating the removal of police from campus I keep wondering if one of those gals gets attacked, who ya gonna call? One of those snow flakes protesting with you? Good luck with that.

White supremacy, real or imagined (usually the latter). That seems to be the left's current all-purpose scapegoat when confronted with the consequences of their coddling of criminals.

The campus police are now too busy investigating the occasional venetian blind string with a loop at the end and documenting "micro-aggressions" to properly monitor on-campus violence.

Liberals are incapable of connecting dots.

There is no cause and effect in their world, just random, unconnected events.

Or, as I think about it, it may be worse than that - they connect the wrong dots.

That is all true except for one thing-most liberals are vocally willing to sacrifice their own, but deep down, they all think they are not the ones who will be directly affected. They all think “Hey, I am ‘down with this struggle so it won’t be me.”

Then when it does impact them, they are surprised, astonished, hurt, and angry. Which shows just how really compassionate they are, which is...not really.

I agree with Dr. KING that thieves, welfare cases, and drug users SHOULD be judged by the content of their character.
