I assume it's protected speech.

Hundreds of "Wanted" posters targeting members of the University of Rochester community were found glued to campus buildings and classrooms, according to the Department of Public Safety.
The university launched an investigation after discovering the posters targeted Jewish faculty, and staff, including Hillel leaders, with the words "Wanted: Connection to War Crimes" and "Racism. Hate Speech. Intimidation."...
"University facilities immediately began working to remove the posters and return the spaces to their usual state," Chief Quchee Collins said."This process is painstaking because of the strong adhesive used to affix the posters, which in some cases caused damage to walls, floors, chalkboards, and other surfaces."...

Assume they have cameras so ...
Imagine how this would be if Kamala “Hamas is good” Harris was cheated into office.
They quietly made it legal to use lethal military force against Americans.
Makes me wonder what they are planning/were planning.
Dang right wing maga extremists.......oh. 🤔
Unless the culprits used gloves that adhesive will have preserved fingerprints quite well.
Trump will need to address this growing terrorist problem.
I hope Donald does so.
If they have cameras finding the perpetrators and bringing them to justice should be fairly easy.
A slap on the wrist?
I hope not. I hope there is some law with bite that these people broke.
“If they have cameras finding the perpetrators and bringing them to justice should be fairly easy.”
I’d say they already know, but if they are of favored minorities, we’ll never be told.
I assume it's protected speech.
“I assume it’s protected speech.”
Maybe not. There’s a huge difference here. Every example you posted is a public figure and a government official. University professors and students are not, and Columbia is private property.
University of Rochester.
Actually, poster # 4 is of a former general, but currently teaching at Harvard.
University professors and students are not
Professors and student leaders who take public stands on issues are not public officials, but they might be considered "limited public figures" (a legal term meaning a lesser public figure, one known only in a limited venue or for limited reasons, e.g., someone involved in an accident that's been reported in the news), as opposed to a famous public figure.
and Columbia is private property.
So Columbia might be able to discipline the posters for violating a code of conduct; but they could not impose criminal penalties. But even in the former case, I don't think Columbia could discriminate in its discipline. If it allowed some groups to be targeted (whites during the BLM protests), it might not be able to impose punishments if another group were targeted. (Yes, I know they have multiple standards, but it still violates federal equal protection, which applies even to private universities.)
I’d be walking around and either painting over them or adhering posters over that one.
Thick, black paint. Cover the whole thing.
Someone is going to get tired of this sht and start laying these ahole out cold.
Quit spliitting hairs and parsing words. Those are terroristic threats. Let’s put up posters of Angelino97 saying it’s an antisemitic Hamas terrorist supporter.
Hate crime? Conspiracy?
I’m sure the fbi will get right on it.
(as soon as they give up on persecuting Trump)
Destruction of property. Press charges
All my years, never heard of bonehead neo-nazis doing something like this. This isn’t just ignorants hating.
Left wing bast__ds.
