Mostly women arrested in Columbia University library takeover: NYPD

The New York Police Department arrested 61 females after anti-Israel agitators stormed Columbia University's Butler Library on Wednesday as students were studying for finals.

In total, the NYPD made 80 arrests – 19 males and 61 females, according to a source. A source also said at least 50 of the 80 protesters arrested were Columbia University students.

Protesters renamed the Butler Library "Basel Al-Araj Popular University." Students at the Ivy League institution said protesters climbed on a desk and chanted "Free Palestine," and demanded that the university divest from Israel.

At the entrance gate to Columbia University, a security guard said, "Nobody comes in, nobody comes out."

Claire Shipman, Columbia's acting president, said in a statement on Wednesday that the NYPD was called to help "secure" the building. She added that two university police officers were injured.

"Sadly, during the course of this disruption, two of our Columbia Public Safety Officers sustained injuries during a crowd surge when individuals attempted to force their way into the building and into Room 301," Shipman said. "These actions are outrageous."

In a separate statement, Shipman said individuals broke into one of the library's reading rooms.

"Disruptions to our academic activities will not be tolerated and are violations of our rules and policies; this is especially unacceptable while our students study and prepare for final exams. Columbia strongly condemns violence on our campus, antisemitism and all forms of hate and discrimination, some of which we witnessed today. We are resolute that calls for violence or harm have no place at our University," Shipman said.

Hyper-emotional creatures subject to pack behavior of extreme frenzy. See the play THE BACCHAE by Euripides, for example.

58% of these rioters were NOT bonefide students.

That tells us all we need to know. I hope we find out how many of the 80 had student visas.

Importing terrorists. Could they get any dumber?

Or the movie Hard Day's Night, by The Beatles.

There’s a reason for this. Men have a vested interest in a stable society because they have a greater chance of successfully having children.

Older men and who’ve already had children want to see their grandchildren succeed.

Young women stand about 80% chance of having children, it doesn’t matter so much who it’s with as long as they have power and money. Even if it’s an invader.

IOW young women have the least to lose by having a foreign people or culture invade and potentially take over.

I used to be a bouncer many long years ago. I learned that American women are psychotic and murderous. They will try to kill you the first chance they get and then cry when they get taken down.

And all 80 were out on the streets less than an hour after booking.

Damn, thanks for the quote, as I haven’t read 1984 in many years. Probably worth a reread.

These young girls minds are very easy to hijack. That is why so many women today are so messed up.
