Hundreds of anti-Israel protesters were arrested at college campuses across the US on Saturday after fed-up administrators said “enough is enough.”

Officials at Columbia University, meanwhile, are continuing to dither — allowing a Gaza Solidarity Encampment to remain and dropping a deadline to remove it while they negotiate with student leaders who are holding the campus hostage.

Over 200 protesters at colleges including Northeastern University in Boston, Arizona State University in Tempe, Indiana University in Bloomington and Washington University in St. Louis were arrested Saturday.

They aren't being arrested for protesting per se, they are being arrested for crimes like trespassing, harassing students of a particular ethnic group, and causing the university to be shut down to protect the safety of other students who just want to go to class. None of this is necessary to “protest”.

If I were cop I would not lift a finger for “defund-police” promoting, marxist University Administrations in controlling their own brownshirt-red guards

Let them twist in the wind.

Need to bring back the tried and true methods used by CPD to pacify/crowd control

Wood shampoos administered liberally

Processing miscreants and releasing them in the middle of the hood after dark sans transport

Individual tuneups administered to the douchiest of the lot

Clerical paperwork gets lost and shitbirds get to spend overnight or entire weekend in custody at places like 26 and California in general population.

Knocking arrested shitbirds face first into door frame when placing them in back seat of squad car

After experiencing methods 1-5 at different levels, shitbirds get the message that violent protests are a bad idea

Gee, do we ALL get to call the extermination of a group of people. I call for the extermination of the Jew hating protestors.

“ Protest against Israel = not okay.”

Trespassing - not OK. Forcibly denying other the use of common areas and roads - not okay.

Good Luck getting a job in the next decade as a Columbia graduate. There are many Jewish people throughout the hiring process. Just say no to Columbia grads.

"Officials at Columbia University, meanwhile, are continuing to dither"

More evidence of the need to revoke the academic accreditation of Columbia University.

“Revoke the visas of foreign students. That’s the reason Columbia University needs to go ahead and arrest the protestors.”


That’s the reason they have already used to NOT act.

At MIT, protestors blocked Jews at the main entrance, and harassed Jewish faculty in their offices.

MIT President (((Kornbluth)) declared there would be no suspensions or expulsions, because then they would lose their student status, and be subject to deportation.

So the universities will be shut down until 1/20/2025.

Isn’t it curious that all nazi league schools experience hamas associated problems while SEC schools remain politically peaceful.

Also way too much is also enough. When they ‘protest’ by stopping traffic and blocking functions illegally they become bullies and at some point we start standing up to them.

“Revoke the visas of foreign students.”

Great idea. Then educate the moronic students and professors about hamas and the palestinians who support them. Make it mandatory:

And chanting, “Death to America” is not protesting, it’s treason.

In case of a war, these protesters cannot be trusted and pose a national security problem.
C’mon wake up CIA and FIB, do something to benefit the country instead of harassing Trump supporters.

What’s to negotiate? They sure would crack down on any MAGA group trespassing. By not removing them they are tacitly supporting their cause to hate and kill Jews.

Way to go exposing yourselves Columbia... We knew it all along.

Who knows ?

In many ways the Ivies are not real education, but just a bunch of dumbed down courses with a 90+ percent graduation rate.

Their real function is selection for Elite entry where the main criteria is political loyalty and Regime support and obedience.

That is determined at entrance, and periodically checked in highly politicized mandatory courses.

pepper spray

The Left spreads the lie that law enforcement uses "chemical weapons" (actually pepper spray) such as against the anti-Trump mob that injured 40 Secret Service agents and threatened Trump and Melania as Trump carried the Bible to the church near the White House. Demonstrators had already set fire to one corner of the historic church.

Don’t worry getting a job in the future.

What job? What future?
