Alvin Bragg drops all charges against Columbia's pro-Hamas vandals who took custodians hostage

More junk justice from America's most politicized district attorney.

One thing most people can agree on is that you don't trash university buildings, and you don't take custodians hostage.

But Alvin Bragg is not like most people. While he spent millions prosecuting President Trump on charges of his own invention and pontificated about the law applying equally to everyone, he kind of had other ideas about Jew-hating pro-Hamas vandals who took over a building at Columbia University this past spring, trashed it with thousands of dollars of property damage, and took three custodians hostage.

According to the New York Post:

Nearly all the protesters charged with storming and occupying Columbia University’s campus during heated anti-Israel demonstrations won’t face criminal charges, Manhattan prosecutors announced Thursday — drawing outrage from law enforcement and Jewish advocates.

District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s office dismissed cases against 31 of 46 people charged with trespassing in the Ivy League school’s Hamilton Hall after a dramatic April 30 NYPD raid rounded up protesters on the Morningside Heights campus.

Prosecutors largely cited lack of evidence, such as security video footage, that could tie the students or staff to the building takeover for leaving them free and clear without even a slap on the wrist.

The dismissals quickly drew fury from rank-and-file NYPD officers, higher education officials and Jewish leaders who spoke with The Post.

I wonder what the pro-Hamas protesters have learned from this brush with the law?

“I wonder what the pro-Hamas protesters have learned from this brush with the law?

Exactly what I was thinking. The message is, “Good job. We’re supporting you all the way. Only, next time, kill a few people too.”

Maybe, someday, if we were to have a legitimate justice department, federal kidnapping charges could be brought.

Alvin Bragg continues to give aid and comfort to the domestic and foreign enemies of the United States.

The "threats" bragg is reporting are the result of his Satanic obedience to evil and destruction (of America) and NOT by any MAGA influences.


I want to believe real America sees that.

The fact they were arrested inside the building they had taken over should be dispositive.

He has more important things than crime like stopping Trump from reelection.

Make no mistake, this is the administration at Columbia University refusing to testify, not the actions of the prosecutor.

The administration can't testify against the "protestors" because the protesters were taught such behavior at Columbia University, and that would all come out in court.

Columbia University has been a breeding ground for anti-American and anti-white male vitriol for a century. The administration was only upset that their monsters turned on them. They would have been fine with their monsters attacking others.

Columbia certainly has a very spotty, sullied record when it comes to equal rights and moral values

some rotten leadership

as the olde Scandinavian proverb put it,
“a fish rots from the head”

all officers should wear identical outfits when handling miscreants and rioters.

Predictable. This means that official policy is that it’s OK to destroy property and shout hate for Jews. There will be more of it because the left in this country wants exactly that: destroying property and hating Jews.

The tenacity of our tyrannical communist rulers in imposing more & more tyranny is unmatched by those seeking (supposedly) to protect our Constitutional freedoms & liberties...
