Arrested Emory U. Prof. No Victim Despite Leftist Outrage, Admitted She Hit Cop While He Was Subduing Another Rioter

In any movement started by the radical left, a key component to fanning the flames and keeping the masses fired up is to turn someone involved in it into a symbol, someone who will serve as an example of why they must keep up the fight and see the “mission” through.

We saw it, for instance, with the Occupy Wall Street protests where people in wheelchairs were purposely put in the front rows of protest lines.

The latest incarnation of OWS, the anti-Israel demonstrations, is very similar in nature, as Professor Jacobson pointed out in a recent Fox News interview.

And during one such demonstration that took place this week in Georgia, the anti-Israel left found their next symbol, an economics professor from Emory University whose Thursday arrest was caught on tape by CNN, something that instantly turned her into a progressive icon among anti-Israel activists and their coddlers in higher education.

In a shortened video clip shared to the Twitter machine and which has been viewed nearly eight million times as of this writing, we see Professor Caroline Fohlin telling a police officer to “stop it” in the middle of a campus protest as the officer tells her to “get down” as he is about to arrest her. She continues to refuse to get on the ground, so he maneuvers her there himself, and soon after is assisted by another officer while Fohlin claims her head hit the concrete.

During her arrest, Fohlin is heard yelling “I’m a professor!”

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

NYPD begins sweep of occupied Hamilton Hall, arrests protesters

This is a developing story. Check back for updates.

Updated on April 30 at 9:51 p.m.

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.

Police have arrested protesters near Hamilton Hall.

Helmeted NYPD Cops assembled at 114th and Broadway as they began a raid of Columbia University following days of anti-Israel agitators taking over the campus.

The police began to move in around 9 p.m. Tuesday and surround Hamilton Hall, which is being occupied by anti-Israel agitators.

Students were seen waving a Palestinian flag from inside Hamilton Hall as police attempted to secure the building and move people away before they made entry.

Columbia student radio is reporting NYPD entering Hamilton Hall through windows and pulling students out with sledgehammers. NYPD has also started bringing in large buses to take protesters away once they begin making arrests.

Police are now entering Hamilton Hall.

Columbia’s Hamilton Hall has a long history of occupation by protesting students
https://www.timesofisrael.com/columbias-hamilton-hall-has-a-long-history-of-occupation-by-protesting-students/

Quote
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.

Violent pro-terror rioters shouting ‘Intifada!’ smash their way into Columbia University academic building in latest campus chaos
https://nypost.com/2024/04/30/us-news/columbia-university-protesters-take-over-hamilton-hall/

Quote
A huge mob of masked pro-terror rioters broke into an academic building at Columbia University and seized it early Tuesday — rebranding the iconic hall named after founding father Alexander Hamilton and draping it with a giant flag calling for “intifada.”

Dozens stormed into Hamilton Hall and sealed themselves in shortly before 1 a.m. — with some using metal barricades, chairs and tables to block others from getting inside, footage posted on social media shows.   

One shocking video captured a hammer-wielding demonstrator smashing through a glass-paneled door and placing what appeared to be a bike lock around its handles.

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/

Quote
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.

Hundreds of NYPD cops storm Columbia campus to clear out anti-Israel mob
https://nypost.com/2024/04/30/us-news/nypd-storms-into-columbia-university-to-clear-out-anti-israel-mob/

Quote
Several hundred NYPD cops stormed onto Columbia University’s campus on Tuesday night to oust a pro-terror mob that illegally took over an academic building amid ongoing anti-Israel protests on campus.

The cops are expected to arrest the group that barged into Hamilton Hall early Tuesday morning in a drastic escalation of the protest at the Ivy League school, according to police sources.

Shortly before entering the Morningside Heights campus at 9:13 p.m., about 100 cops from the NYPD’s Emergency Service Unit packed into buses and headed to Columbia in preparation for the university’s call for help, sources told The Post.

Dozens of others wearing riot gear and holding zip-tie handcuffs were huddled on the street corner, apparently waiting for the go-ahead.

The NYPD blocked pedestrian and vehicular traffic on 114th Street and Broadway, while spectators chastised them: “Shame, shame, shame!”

They need to stop the Hamilton Hall occupation. This should of never happened.

I'm hoping he keeps talking, even after this bullshit 9K gag order penalty and threat of jail. DO IT! Send him to jail, Merchan....who should have been removed. The remaining fence-sitters will RUN to support him because they'll finally wake TF up to what's going on. It won't be like the DUmbasses think. They probably have wet dreams about him being shived in general population. It'll never happen, DUmbasses. Nor will that stupid mother****er, Bennie Thompson, ever take away his SS protection. Bennie Thompson is a JOKE and a great reflection of the current dumbass inhabitants of the city I'm formerly from, but fled with my family in HS. Wanna know why? That protection is just as much about our security as it is his. He knows a LOT of secrets. It's not like you walk into a SCIF, walk out, and there's some K and J, Men in Black beam that wipes your f'n mind after you leave.

So, KEEP TALKING, PRESIDENT TRUMP! Best media and campaigning money doesn't have to buy.

Nancy Pelosi slammed Katy Tur just now. [View all]
3:38pm eastern time Monday on MSNBC
They were discussing job creation and Tur defended Trumps job losses because of Covid
Nancy said “if you want to be an apologist for Donald Trump, maybe that’s your role here”.
Tur said “I don’t think I’ve ever been accused of that”.

I laughed out loud.

grabbed the remote, turned on msnbc getting TV ready for Nicolle, heard Turd interrupt Nancy twice in a row, turned the channel to Ancient Aliens.

I don't put myself through that shit. Katy Tur doesn't know if she is punched or bored.

Finally, the 15th Reply actually quoted what fact Tur dared to point out that earned Pelosi's ire:

75. A record eight years and four months of monthly job gains -- dating to October 2010 -- ended February 2019, roughly a year

before the pandemic. The U.S. lost 50,000 jobs that month. The U.S. would go on to add 2 million jobs in 2019, but that was the lowest annual growth since 2010.

And then the novel coronavirus struck. In two months, March and April 2020, the U.S. economy lost a staggering 22.4 million jobs.

Most of those jobs (56%) would return before Trump left office. But he ended his presidency with an economy that had 2.9 million fewer jobs than when he started — becoming the first president in modern times to experience a net loss of jobs over his time in office, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, which has monthly employment figures dating to 1939.
