BUT WAIT! ... didn’t Columbia just announce that they had instituted a whole slew of NEW POLICIES guaranteed to stop this sort of thing? ... so how could this be? ...
That's a direct threat. Time to end their "education" and kick them out of Columbia. That is, if Columbia has the spine.
Columbia University has been a terrorist service academy since the 1960s.
Our colleges and universities have become asylums for the insane.
I would BET that some, if not MOST of these RIOTERS ARE PAID BY DEMOCRATS!!
They should go join the Saint Corrie of Pancake Jihad Brigade and fight for justice in Palestine.
Sure they will because they know the tax payer will rebuild it for them.
If they started expelling students and arresting non-students for trespass it would end immediately. It continues because the Jew-hating administration wants it to
