As long as they are not destroying property or blocking other from going to classes let them protest. Only protestors that are breaking the law should be arrested.
Of all the people out there, many progressives have ironically chosen the most racist, mysogonostic, homophobic and violent group of theocrats on the planet to defend. Using some twisted reasoning, students and (liberals in general) are showing strong solidarity for the Palestinian and Hamas causes while simultaneous showing nothing but vitriol for their American family and neighbors who happen to vote different. What kind of voodoo is this.
Great cartoon! The universities in this country have hired wimps as administrators. They assert no authority and get no respect. The students and faculty are in charge.
In the U.S. we have a proud history of protest and a belief in the value of protest at its core. That is why out Bill of Rights protects free speech and the right to assemble. Yes, if you break the law, you should be arrested. But there should be respect and leniency given for peaceful protest, not a violent crackdown with officers marching through crowds with assault weapons.
What is supposed to represent the simple wisdom of children (out of the mouth of babes) is actually a good representation of the childish lack of thought often displayed in these situations. Simply arresting protestors only makes the situation worse. It makes the protestors more aggressive, requiring ever more force to repress them. Worse, the leaders that are produced will be calling for violence. All this comes from the claim that we need protection from violent protests. Yet, who has been killed? Who’s been maimed? Severely injured? Hospitalized? Hurt? Buildings destroyed? No, Ramirez is simply making political hay and avoiding the issue itself.
As to the disinvestment demands, if we all really knew what’s in our 401K and IRA target retirement funds, we’re probably all also invested in the military industrial complex. Just sayin’.
Why didn’t ramirez jump on the “arrest them” option when hundreds of white supremacists protestors carrying torches were shouting “Jews will not replace us”?
Cut off their Wi-Fi and all AC to the protest areas so they can’t recharge their devices. Find who bought all those matching tents and stop delivery of them.
TEACH THEM! These are supposed to be the brightest getting an education and learning how to use their brains to solve issues. The campus unrest in the 1960s brought an end to the draft and the pullout of Vietnam. Today these kids have what we didn’t, the internet. If the Palestinian supporters in the U.S. and elsewhere around the world reached out to the Israeli students in Israel who are protesting Netanyahu’s policies, discarded the racism/bigotry, and joined forces against the common foe of war, Netanyahu would fall. The future leaders of the world could set the bar at their own level.
There is a gigantic class action lawsuit that has been filed on behalf of Jewish students attending Columbia. Reporters would keep track of this sort of thing are saying the Class action lawyers are licking their chops, there is going to be huge payouts on these suits. They think they will be joined for lawsuit from parents who children have been denied the education they are paying for.
This might be the end of the damage done to these Universities by the Vietnam war. The draft was a real deal back in the late 1960’s. Unless you were somebody like me who, thanks to a career USN father I had a reservation to join the US Navy, you got your 1A card and you were going to get drafted. That is unless got into a National Guard unit This is what professional sports figures did, or you got a college deferment. This is what set the seeds for the destruction of higher education. You had college students who after they got their Bachelor degrees they just continued onto graduate school maintaining their deferment. These anti-war, left wing, US is evil professional students put their stamp on these institutions visible to this day.
“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances. I guess the public universities feel they are above the 1st amendment and to violate the peaceful assembly they turn the police loose to make violence against the protesters. Will this get to the corrupt supreme court for them to try and muddy the interpretation of such a simple sentence, just as is the 2nd amendment they always simplify
Here’s how they handled the junior jihadists at UNC-CH after they set up tents in violation of university policy. Had them cleared out in just 45 minutes. You don’t negotiate with these lice infested brats, you give them a stern warning with stern consequences. If they don’t heed the warning, you remove them and arrest them.
CHAPEL HILL, N.C. (WTVD) — “Disclose! Divest! We will not stop! We will not rest!” protesters chanted in UNC-Chapel Hill’s Polk Place Tuesday morning.
At about 5:30 a.m., protesters were warned they had to vacate by 6 a.m. or they may face arrest and other consequences. UNC officials previously told protesters that pitching tents on campus violated university policy.
In a statement released Tuesday by UNC Interim Chancellor Roberts and Provost Clemen before police began removing protesters, they said if protesters fail to vacate the area, it could result in consequences. This includes possible arrest, suspension from campus and expulsion from the university, which may prevent students from graduating.
While many gathered their things and left, many stayed.
Police detained 30 people who refused to leave, according to UNC officials. Protesters then attempted to block the UNC Police vehicles by standing in front of them and throwing items at officers. Some of those arrested were transferred by the Orange County Sheriff’s Department to the detention center.
The encampment in Polk Place was cleared in 45 minutes.
I’m surprised nobody has made the case that the protesters are giving “aid and comfort” to terrorists, that terrorists are enemies of the united states, and therefore protesters are engaging in treason.
Myth. Discussion doesn’t involve spray paint, gas masks, tents, and abusing the students who just want to get on with their studies. Interested in finding out just how many AREN’T students and are thugs for hire. Probably by Sores

They need to identify the protestors. They should face consequences for their actions calling for the genocide of Jews.
Otherwise, companies will see a degree from Columbia and just pass on hiring them. Why risk hiring a terrorist?DC Swamp 2 months ago
Arrest and expel them from the university, especially now that the junior jihadists have broken into and occupied an administrative building.
