Anti-Israel, pro-Palestinian, and pro-Hamas protesters who camped out in Harvard Yard on Wednesday received a rude awakening overnight as automatic sprinklers switched on, soaking tents and sending the activists into a panic.

The Harvard Crimson reported that sprinklers began to turn on after 2:00 a.m. in 36º Fahrenheit weather. It later noted at 4:05 a.m. ET:

As protesters spend their first night in the Harvard Yard encampment, the biggest threat to their stay has not come from administrators or Harvard University police officers, but the Yard’s sprinklers.

Two more sprinklers turned on at the edge of the encampment near Massachusetts Hall. The sprinklers began to hit tents on the edge of the camp before protesters rushed over to covered the sprinklers with buckets and sit on them.

Harvard closed the gates of Harvard Yard to all but Harvard ID holders on Sunday, hoping to avoid the encampments that hit other universities. But there were enough Harvard students among the anti-Israel radicals to set up tents.

Panicking over water? What a bunch of wimpy scum bags.

"sending the activists into a panic"

Only two things that can explain it:
Lifelong aversion to baths/showers
The water coming out of the sprinklers was holy water.

The maintenance worker who turned on the sprinklers should get an award. :)

Shower time!

Works on “homeless” also.

My guess is the maintenance staff is sick of cleaning up after the “ protesters “. Probably a lot of extra work on top of their regular duties. So- they figure a “ rain storm” at night, in 36 weather to f*** them over.

Lesson: do this every morning at all these “encampments.”

[Bob434]

i guess they forgot their offense umbrellas

[mikey_hates_everything]

Panic? If they’re camping outside, shouldn’t they be prepared for rain?

[Chainmail]

Can’t blame ‘em - they hadn’t had a bath for a while...

“automatic sprinklers”

It’s like October 7th all over again.

Put up a concertina wire wall and allow only one exit. Via loud speakers, tell the people in the camp that they have until X hour to leave or they will be arrested for trespass and if a student, will be expelled.

At the single exit, have campus police demand ID and a full face photograph of each person leaving.
