The schools let this get out of hand. All the students involved in violent or destructive behavior or anti-Semitic behavior should be expelled. if they are foreign exchange students, they should be deported. This whole thing needs to be investigated and find out who is supporting it financially and they should be prosecuted.

Faculty who is prompting these students to do this should also be fired and held accountable. The management of the schools need to be held accountable and federal funding needs to be stopped.

Cuddling these protesters only makes them boulder. They’re just spoiled children and they need to be taught a lesson and the outside agitators need to spend time behind bars and maybe get hit over the head with a couple

The New York City Police Department released a video showing a professional "protest consultant" who was seen on other social media videos instructing a mob of anti-Israel agitators as they took over Hamilton Hall at Columbia University overnight Monday.

New York City Mayor Eric Adams spoke about outside agitators during a press conference Tuesday evening.

"What should have been a peaceful protest, it has basically been co-opted by professional outside agitators. We were extremely cautious about releasing our intel information because our goal was to ensure the safety of the students, the faculty, and without destruction to property," Adams said. "We have sounded the alarm several times before about external actors who attempted to hijack this private protest."

Adams and members of his administration shared information about the outside actors who were creating "serious public safety issues" at the protests.

The New York Police Department arrested protesters outside occupied Hamilton Hall at around 9:30 p.m. on Tuesday evening. One contingent of officers approached the admissions office entrance, where they pushed protesters to the ground and slammed them with barricades.

Another group approached the main entrance, arresting protesters who had formed a human chain outside the doors. Officers threw down the metal and wooden tables and shattered the glass on the leftmost doors of Hamilton to enter the building.

One protester lay on the ground in front of Hamilton unmoving as police officers stood over them. Three officers then carried the individual away from the building.

Students yelled “shame” as officers gathered around the front entrance of the building, and chants of “NYPD, KKK, IOF, they’re all the same” arose.

Columbia’s Hamilton Hall has a long history of occupation by protesting students

Reuters — The building that Columbia University protesters seized early on Tuesday morning, Hamilton Hall, has a history of student takeovers over the decades.

The current demonstration on the Ivy League campus in Manhattan echoes those past protests, almost all of which took place in April as well. Some activists have said they studied them for lessons on tactics and strategy.

The eight-story 1907 campus hub today houses undergraduate classrooms as well as the classics, Germanic languages and Slavic languages departments, according to the Columbia website. Here are some of the notable instances when past student activists occupied Hamilton Hall:

1968
Hundreds of students held a demonstration on April 23, 1968, to protest the Vietnam War, as well as Columbia’s plans to build a gymnasium in nearby Harlem that activists claimed would effectively be segregated.

After marching to the gym construction site and tearing down protective fencing, protesters returned to campus and barricaded themselves inside Hamilton Hall, preventing the acting dean from leaving his office, according to an online exhibition curated by the university’s libraries.

By the next morning, Black students – who renamed the hall “Malcolm X Liberation College” – asked white students to leave to ensure their specific grievances were heard. The white students moved their demonstration to other buildings on campus.

After a week-long occupation, the university called in the police. The Black students at Hamilton Hall left peacefully, heading straight to police vans waiting to take them into custody; students in other buildings, however, violently clashed with officers as they were dragged outside. Many students suffered injuries, and hundreds were arrested.

Hamilton Hall has been occupied multiple times in the past.

I witnessed Columbia University’s impotent surrender to the mob
https://nypost.com/2024/04/30/opinion/i-witnessed-columbia-universitys-complete-surrender-to-a-jew-hating-mob/

At half-past-midnight yesterday, I received a text from a Columbia undergraduate friend: “They are attempting to occupy Hamilton Hall.”

It goes without saying that things inside were hectic.

A couple students I know closely attempted to block the protesters from breaking into Hamilton, an audacious last stand that ended with them being shoved, grabbed, and later threatened anonymously.

Other friends dialed 911, troubled by ongoing vandalism and the very real possibility of an all-out brawl.

Outside, I saw your typical sign-waving, starry-eyed students, along with another darkly-clad cohort of protestors surveilling campus.

Their black balaclavas and combat boots made it clear they weren’t Columbians.

Columbia Unviersity administration are to blame as well.
