The university also revealed that early Tuesday morning, "a group of protestors occupied Hamilton Hall on the Morningside campus of Columbia University."

Universities crack down on anti-Israel agitators as protesters call for ‘amnesty’
Universities across the U.S. are cracking down on anti-Israel protesters who have taken over their campuses this week.
The protesters demand that colleges divest themselves from companies connected to Israel. This week has seen dozens of arrests at Columbia, Harvard, Yale and elsewhere.
No cameras, no need to protest.
And with no TV , unless their cell phone videos go viral they will totally give up on this protesting stuff and go home to smoke dope and play video games as usual in college life.
Well, their masked face. cowards.
“THis is actually not a bad move. The poor babies won’t have their face on TV!”
Your premise is sound, though the rioters will probably still upload through apps like Periscope, etc.
Unless cell phone start getting jammed in that area?
It’s a “move along.... nothing to see here” moment.
Just watched a little of a JFK era interview film.
They reminded me that all of the local TV stations’ film of the events of the assassination day were confiscated by the FBI. Interviews, eyewitnesses, accidental views of important things——all destroyed by the government.
One of the freedoms we lost long ago was freedom of the press.
We won’t get to see the agitators get their asses kicked.
“No cameras, no need to protest.”
I suspect that’s not the logic. More likely, the logic is that Columbia doesn’t want the media to report what’s happening there. It’s bad PR for Columbia. And it’s embarrassing to the progressive cause, as well as to NYC’s image.
I wonder why they are keeping the press out? Are they about to crack down on the students? Are things about to get violent?
No, they are making space for non-kosher food trucks to come in as these were one of the demands of the Hamas.
Not great optics for the Democrat party.
Lots of cell phones still around, the “Press” are obsolete at this point.
Now it looks like they are hiding something..collaboration with Hamas, perhaps.
Not a “safety measure.” It’s to keep the world from knowing that a bunch of spoiled, rich anarchists is protecting a bunch of spoiled, rich anarchists and allowing them to run rampant, take hostages, and destroy everything.
This was predictable.
I’m betting that the hate-America organizers will tell the colleges and the students to turn the violence up a notch every week or so, until campuses resemble downtown Port au Prince.
Communist tactic: destabilize the civil order. Grab more power in the ensuing confusion. Never let go of that power.
The Impossible Dream:
We won’t get to see the agitators get their asses kicked.
