Full title: As college student, Eric Holder participated in "armed" takeover of former Columbia University ROTC office
As a freshman at Columbia University in 1970, future Attorney General Eric Holder participated in a five-day occupation of an abandoned Naval Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC) headquarters with a group of black students later described by the university's Black Students' Organization as "armed"
Department of Justice spokeswoman Tracy Schmaler has not responded to questions from The Daily Caller about whether Holder himself was armed
Holder was then among the leaders of the Student Afro-American Society (SAAS), which demanded that the former ROTC office be renamed the "Malcolm X Lounge."
Holder has bragged... "I did not take a final exam until my junior year at Columbia - we were on strike every time finals seemed to roll around - but we ran out of issues by that third year."
Though then-Dean Carl Hovde declared the occupation of the Naval ROTC office illegal and said it violated university policy, the college declined to prosecute any of the students involved.
In a December 2010 GQ magazine profile of Holder, one of his Columbia friends confirmed that he and Holder were both part of the ROTC office takeover.

Hardly surprising....
How much more will we learn about Obama after he is out of office?
This information was all over the net when Holder foirst went up for confirmation.
That didn’t stop republicans from approving his appointment.
Not a single republican senator opposed Eric Holder’s nomination in 2009.
What would it take for them to vote no to some law-breaking, criminal, ultra-leftist?
“Though then-Dean Carl Hovde declared the occupation of the Naval ROTC office illegal and said it violated university policy, the college declined to prosecute any of the students involved.”
The fecklessness of this Dean and similar college officials across the nation did enormous damage to the rule of law and greatly strengthened the counterculture movement (which means the anti-American movement). It gave a whole generation a signal that they are not going to be held responsible for their actions and it tacitly said “we actually agree with your criticism of America”.
I hate these people for the damage they did. Reagan was one of the only ones who wouldn’t be bullied and by doing so, he built his leadership reputation as someone who actually stands for something.

Holder was armed with a revolver. There are photos of the incident
The next president needs to nominate Ammon Bundy for attorney general, LOL
Can you find the those pics?
That is because the GOPe is in league with the Marxists to destroy America. It is part of the Dialectical Materialism......to create distraction until the System is fixed so there is no possibility of saving the US Constitution.
We saw the takeover of all three branches of government with the Kagan fiasco-—pure irrational evil Marxist placed onto the court along with the incompetent racist, sexist Sotomayor, and then, the bribed Roberts throwing out Common Sense (Natural Laws and Right Reason from our Justice System).
Total coup by the Marxists and they own the minds of all the public skool children who are being brainwashed into their evil, vile faith of slavery and vice (dependence).
The rugged individualism of Christianity which created independence and Individual Natural Rights from God is being erased by helicopter “parents” who destroy risk-taking and mature masculinity in their boys and hand them over to perverts and screens to program them and to destroy virtue formation and autonomy in “group think” factories which demean virtue formation (Christianity) while hyper-sexualizing them so they remain puerile and narcissiists-—like that thing in the White House.
Probably been well scrubbed. But brother Holder was sporting a nuce picked out fro and carrying the revolver in his hand. If I can find it, will ping you
Pics are gone. There were several, IIRC, and Holder did not appear as the ring leader. He was carrying what looked like a 4” either S&w or Colt revolver, like what the police carried at the time.
There were several in B&W, and others showing the campus unrest. Odd, all are now nowhere to be found. I saw the pics several years ago, and had an interest in the participants, and weapons, so I looked closely. Having lived during this time in history and being on campus at this time ,I can say what is now written and accepted as “history” is a fantasy story.
Note: the pics still exist, but not on the net. A serious researcher can find them, but the search will be expensive in terms of time and travel.
It was OK because he black.
Thanks for looking. I would love to find them
