The NYPD has begun to move in on protesters on the Columbia University campus, Tuesday night, after receiving a letter from the school asking for assistance.
An NYPD spokesperson tells the media to “expect a full breach of the building and the encampment.”
Security officials a short time earlier distributed a shelter-in-place alert for Columbia University on Tuesday as tensions increased outside the campus due to the ongoing protests.
NYPD officers deployed tear gas on anti-Israel protesters at Columbia University, according to reports from WKCR radio.
NYPD began moving in on protesters around 9 p.m. Tuesday night.
They appeared to focus their efforts on clearing Hamilton Hall on campus. Protesters were occupying the building on Tuesday.
Protesters were seen flying a Palestinian flag from a window.
According to radio reports from WKCR live from Columbia University, NYPD officers were using sledgehammers to break down barricades at Hamilton Hall.
As YWN reported, pro-Hamas and anti-Israel protesters violently broke into Hamilton Hall overnight Monday, smashing windows with hammers.
Columbia says decision to bring in the NYPD was made early this morning. ”we were left with no choice. We believe that the group that broke into and occupied the building is led by individuals who are not affiliated with the University.” The school says A little after 9 p.m. this evening, the NYPD arrived on campus at the University’s request. “This decision was made to restore safety and order to our community,” the school said.
“We regret that protesters have chosen to escalate the situation through their actions. After the University learned overnight that Hamilton Hall had been occupied, vandalized, and blockaded, we were left with no choice. Columbia public safety personnel were forced out of the building, and a member of our facilities team was threatened. We will not risk the safety of our community or the potential for further escalation,” the school continued.

These poor kids should be taken out of their miserable existence living in the USA, and be sent on way trips to one of the paradises of Gaza, Cuba, Communist China, North Korea, Iran, Yemen, where they would be a better match.

If Biden endorses this, it could save him. That would make him the President who supports opposition to Nazis, unlike Trump who in one misleading sound bite said they were nice people albeit a bit mistaken in their beliefs.
Biden will lost much of the Progressive Caucus if he comes out against anti-Semitism is a forceful way (as illustrated in the photo, ordered by a centrist Democrat), but will pick up support from many anti-Trump Republicans and avoid alienating centrist Democrats (including the frei Yidden who are overwhelming loyal Democrats).
They should all be arrested and incarcerated. They are trespassing and they are violating their commitment to Columbia when they signed their student oath of conduct. They should all be expelled from Columbia and failure to do so, I think, the university will definitely lose its hard earned ivy league status. I wouldn’t ever hire a Columbia grad – would you?
The same type of thing happened thousands of years ago, with Korach as gang leader. (Granted, different scenario) So what the Pro-Israel protestors should be singing is:
משה אמת ותורתו אמת alongside Shema.
And all the while they should have kavana that this is Korach’s gang reincarnated.
If trump is clever, he’ll prosecute these thugs as ‘Hamilton insurection’ criminals (like Jan6 capitol…?)
That is, if he gets in iy”h.
