Mysterious man trashes American flags from 9/11 memorial
Campus Reform ^ | 9-11-17 | Hannah Scherlacher

Posted on 09/12/2017 7:05:26 AM PDT by bigbob

Members of Columbia University College Republicans walked out of class Monday afternoon to find a man removing the flags from their 9/11 memorial.

The unidentified man removed a row of at least 50 flags, threw them in the trash, and went back for more. An angered Columbia University ROTC student recorded the event.

“I ran over and asked him what he was doing, and was laughed at with no proper response,” the student recounted. “I asked a nearby Public Safety officer what could be done; but he was well within his rights to protest, so I recorded the video.”

See original video of this despicable person in action at the link. Anyone with connections to Columbia University should share their outrage with the administration and demand this person be identified and charged.

Just when you thought you'd seen it all...

How is stealing other people's stuff and vandalizing their display "the right to protest"?

He should be found then beaten profusely about the head with a ball-pean hammer.

I’d have simply beat the crap out of him and replaced the flags.

Consequences be damned.

Nothing will be done. But if he had written Trump in chalk on the sidewalk he would be spending the night in jail.

Yeah...no kidding. Their first response was to take out their smart phone and start filming. An ROTC guy. Sheesh!

“Public safety officer needs to be fired for dereliction of duty. That is vandalism.

Because the flags in question were not rainbow flags, nor antifah flags. American flags are fair game. Makes all the diff.

Good question. The Public Safety Officer’s response is just as outrageous as is the behavior of the thief.

So would I and I would do it in such a way that he would never forget it (with extreme malice and brutality) and think twice before he would ever attempt such a stupid thing again.

My defense would be that desecrating a 9/11 Memorial is a Terrorist Act.

So it is now protest to tear down someone's display and throw it in the trash? FU rent-a-cop.

An ... ROTC student asked a nearby Public Safety officer what could be done
Obviously the ROTC student hadn't taken the "kick @ss, then take names" class.

You would have to think that with as many people in NYC who lost friends and loved ones on 9-11, an angry mob would descend upon Columbia with the urban equivalent of torches and pitchforks if this became widely known. But of course it will not be, thanks to the complicity of the crooked media.

Wouldn’t it be great if Trump were to tweet about it?

Hats off to the Campus Reform site which unlike most blogs in this case has published original primary source material that would not otherwise see the light of day.

He should be charged for wearing skinny capri jeans. That's a public eyesore.

Local elementary school teacher would be a good second guess.

Round up the usual suspects.

Is it Michael Moore?

Bill Maher?

Ward Churchill?
