Columbia Issues Weak Bluff That Pro-Terrorist Rioters Must Dismantle Tent City by 2pm;
Pro-Palestinian Agitators Warn: "Columbia Will Burn"

What a surprise -- Palestinians threatening terrorist attacks.

I shan't believe it. I shannot!

Columbia has issued a GOP-like demand (meaning, a fake demand) that the protesters take down their shantytown and return the lands they have colonized, Zionistically.

Columbia is threatening to suspend the protesters if they do not clear off. I bet half of them are outsiders, so the threat of suspension means literally nothing.

Columbia University has warned anti-Israel protesters they'll be suspended if they don't clear out of their tent encampment by 2 p.m. Monday -- just hours after the Ivy League's embattled president Minouche Shafik admitted that all other negotiations had failed.

The protesters were given the ultimatum as NYPD buses were spotted arriving outside the Morningside Heights campus Monday morning.

"It is important for you to know that the university has already identified many students in the encampment," a letter warning students of the looming deadline read. "If you do not leave by 2pm, you will be suspended pending further investigation."

"If you voluntarily leave by 2pm, identify yourself to a university officials, and sign the provided form where you commit to abide by all university policies through June 30, 2025, or the date of the conferral of your degree, whichever is earlier, you will be eligible to complete the semester in good standing," added the letter, shared by the Columbia Students for Justice in Palestine.

It comes after Shafik had earlier urged the student protesters to "voluntarily disperse" and dismantle the encampment that has plagued the Ivy League campus for more than a week, saying Columbia was looking at other "internal options to end this crisis as soon as possible."

The president acknowledged the encampment was making Jewish students uncomfortable and had caused many to flee campus, but stopped short of making any apology.

...

It comes as college presidents across the country are making the decision to crack down and send in law enforcement to remove anti-Israel protesters, who are causing chaos and disrupting classes.

House Democrats have begun demanding that university presidents end the protests, or resign.

Nearly two dozen House Democrats put Columbia University's Board of Trustees on notice Monday, demanding its members either move to disband the anti-Israel encampments or resign.

The group of 21 Dems, led by Reps. Josh Gottheimer of New Jersey and Dan Goldman of New York, underscored in a letter to the board how Jewish students at the prestigious Ivy League school in Manhattan have faced a spate of harassment, threats of violence and intimidation.

"The First Amendment guarantees freedom of speech and assembly, but not freedom to harass and intimidate other students," the Democrats wrote.

"It is clear to us that the University has allowed the encampment to create an environment that appears to violate its legal obligations to protect all students from discrimination and harassment," the letter said.

I don't like the protesters, and I support Israel and of course am a Friend to All Jews (TM), but I'm very uncomfortable with the SJW push to brand anything that Jews don't like as "harassment." So I don't support the blanket claim that any anti-Israel agitation is "harassment" or "intimidation."

If you need evidence of how insidious this, try posting about George Soros' support for mass illegal immigration or for lawless DAs. You will be branded as "dealing in antisetmitic 'tropes,'" and censored.

We cannot have a rule that says that any group has a right to be free from hearing disagreeable speech.

Unless everyone thinks it's okay that white men get to enjoy this rule too -- which I know no one is willing to concede.

But as regards indulging leftist protesters' constant law-breaking -- no, they have no right to break the law. Just as no right-leaning people have the right to break any law when we protest. We get hounded to the ends of the earth and imprisoned for "parading." So pro-Hamas terrorist symps have no right to occupy the lands of others.

Below, an account identifying itself as "Palestinian Youth Movement" promises "Columbia Will Burn" if they actually follow through on their threat.

72 Conservatives should focus on the underlying causes of these mostly-peaceful protests, namely the system racism and institutional nazism permeating Columbia University and many other institutions of higher education. States where conservatives control the state government should exert their power over public universities to eradicate bias in student admissions and faculty hiring, while removing faculty and administrators who abuse their positions to engage in ideological indoctrination. Much could also be done at the federal level, applying nationally to both public and private institutions.

Regardless of exactly where anyone stands on the pre-historic endless wars, and recent events, there's nothing the universities can do about it. These are the covid kids. They've lost enough, already. Iran doesn't care what they think.

But as regards indulging leftist protesters' constant law-breaking -- no, they have no right to break the law.



One thing that annoys me about modern protesters is that they don't understand civil disobedience. The whole POINT of civil disobedience is to break the law and get arrested. The last part is arguably the most important, in order to overload the system. MLK was quite specific on this back in the Civil Rights era.

Gosh, there must be real cracks regarding this stuff. It felt like the Israel/Hamas war was forming them at first, and then the protest stuff started and they united a bit more. And then...news of outside agitators, things going on too long, and some of the D Establishment getting antsy, and suddenly there's hearty disagreement again?

113 You need to be following the Great Banana Scandal at UCLA:

There was a protestor in the liberated zone at @UCLA with a potentially fatal banana allergy. Counterprotestors invaded the encampment and saw all the no bananas warnings. The next day they came back waving bananas like settlers waving machine guns & smeared bananas everywhere.

Hint: Yes, some people are mildly allergic to bananas, along with other types of fruit.

For the allergy to trigger, you have to actually eat the banana, of course.

No one is at risk of death for merely being near a banana.

Who would have thought that some of the protestors were severely mentally ill?

I find it especially poignant the "Jews", who are largely left wing Democrats, were totes OK with all the Marxist, anti democratic attacks on the political opposition until it bit them in the ass. I therefore suspect once the so called "antisemitism" recedes they'll go right back to where they started.

The University of Texas at Austin released a statement Thursday afternoon reporting that nearly half of those found violating campus free speech policy were unaffiliated with the university.

"Wednesday’s protest organized by the Palestine Solidarity Committee sought to follow the playbook of the national campaign to paralyze the operations of universities across the country," the statement read. "Like at each of those universities, and confirming our serious concern, there was significant participation by outside groups present on our campus yesterday."

"Today, our University held firm, enforcing our rules while protecting the Constitutional right to free speech," Hartzell wrote. "Peaceful protests within our rules are acceptable. Breaking our rules and policies and disrupting others’ ability to learn are not allowed."

"All identified participants are hereby summarily expelled. If desired, you may challenge this expulsion using the appeals process outlined in the student manual.

Furthermore, you are hereby ordered to decamp and exit the premises by 3:00 PM. At that time, we will begin clearance actions including but not limited to tear gas deployed by the University Police and the use of firehoses to forcibly clear the area. Anyone found in the illegal encampment at the start of clearance activities will be arrested and summarily expelled.

The cops ought to go in there the same way the hamassholes went into the kibbutzes on 10/7. Pickup trucks and motorcycles, rifles, handguns. Force them screaming into the trucks, onto the back seats of motorcycles, and those they don't take, ziptie them hands and feet, then throw them onto heavy tarps and haul them away dragging the tarps.

And for sure, no tolerance for face covers. Rip them all off and take them away.

I know why she did it, she's boring, she doesn't really have anything interesting to write in an autobiography so she allowed this color to be added.

China is more insidious, stealing our secrets and buying our government, but maybe they are just waiting to activate their terror campaign at the right time. idk.

As far as I can tell, white Westerners are the least "racist" ... least race/religion supremacist ... just a strong belief in Liberty. Islam and China are top down totalitarians, to the extent they can execute their plans, they would destroy all the others (or maybe keep some as slaves).

This goes back to the previous thread. McConnell and others are bought by China, and are safe from prosecution. So why was Tucker wrong to suggest that any other country, including Israel, was not buying pols to achieve its aims. Netanyahu is currently on trial for bribery and corruption. He is the Trump of Israel. Livni would love to see him jailed. But I doubt the bribery case would extend to doing everything necessary to get the weapons and support to beat Hamas or Iran. And bribing pols is quite legal for foreigners. Do you believe Rishi is allowing all that migration for free? How about Macron, of the foremer "mother Merkel"?

Ugh. I've never gotten that latter part. I know it happens a lot, but I don't get it.

I can see wanting to break shit or burn things down.
I can see the desire - even though it's perfectly opposed to reality in this case and recent cases - to tell The Man to fuck off no matter what.
I can see just going with the flow and going because your friends are going.
I can even see being committed to the cause.

But to bang some chick? Sure, I get the appeal of that as such - it makes the world go 'round and always has - but there are other venues that suck way less and nothing is stopping anyone from trying his hand in one of them. Some things - even awesome things - just aren't worth it.

442 382 322 Looking back say 50 years ago women didn't generally get that much bigger after having kids.


as is my usual, disagree with the ebullient Piper on this

looking at both grandmothers, they were not active. like, never. and ate just fine. Italian grandmothers in South Philly didn't even WALK that much.

they stayed small. they ALSO had baby after baby. I have a peer my generation who also had a bunch of kids. she doesn't diet or exercise. she is slim

old Irish wisdom would say this as well - wives who kept having children did in fact keep their figures.

it might be the hormones and breastfeeding. I think that's a huge part of it.

as far as in general (weight gain in younger people) I remember in HS there were literally maybe two fat kids? it was very rare. girls' school. not many of us participated in sports. Jane Fonda was something out MOMS did. gym was a joke.

we were slim.

now they are all heavy, pudgy - even some of the student athletes.

it's the "food science."

494 Who was the woman from Fast Times at Ridgemont High/Gremlins? She disappeared from the public view not long after becoming every teen boy's favorite actress IIRC because she wanted to be a stay at home mom so...she just ended her career even though she could have easily made a bunch more movies.

She married a more famous actor so she could afford to at least. Kline now does the voice of Mr Fischoeder on Bob’s Burgers.

Over 5 million. Congo civil war's been going on since the late 1990s. It will never end. The civil war in Burma's been going on for like 80 fucking years!

BUT WHAT ABOUT THE 700 MILLION DEAD IN GAZA??????

499 Maybe she doesn't want to be the VP nominee and decided to achieve her goal by becoming too repulsive to ask

To: Presumptive Nominee Donald Trump

There has been a lot of speculation about me possibly being your VP nominee. I am writing to inform you that I have no desire to be the VP nominee and would decline that position if offered.

I sincerely hope you win in November,

500 284 Wasn't Treacher hit by a car or something and that's kinda what sent him off the rails?

IIRC it was some fedgov org that ran him down crossing the road. He's claimed that it was just an accident but...no one got in trouble for reckless driving either that I remember.

503 Keep in mind, Cheney shot HIS LAWYER in the head. A bit more sympathetic than if he'd shot his hunting dog.

I've had to put down rampaging feral dogs before because they were in packs dangerous enough for humans, and I have absolutely no bloody sympathy for Noem for either the action and certainly not for the bold revelation of it. If she wasn't up for the training of it, she should have hired somebody else to do it. Instead, the dog died because of HER incompetence. And I have a LOT more sympathy for a poorly trained dog following its instincts without any reason to NOT do so given to it, than I do Governor "Veto Protecting Girl's Sports" anyway.

504 Is there even that much "hardass"/"badass" cred involved in shooting a dog in the face?

Unless you're doing it in front of your young kid in order to traumatize them into hardening their own heart?
Posted by: XTC at April 29, 2024 02:13 PM (UnA8+)


Is it far more polite in your book to be sued over a dog killing livestock like chicken, or biting other people?
Because that is the other probable outcome.

I know very little about Noem other than she is hated by the establishment for not blinking when they did, but I do know some righteous hard-cases that would rather shoot their own dog since the damned animals are completely their responsibility.
"man who would have someone else shoot their dog for them doesn't have the right to have a dog" might have been pure bravado, but that was the attitude.

There's been strife in the Congo since the Belgians left in 1960. Some of the refugees came into Nairobi and we got sent home early from boarding school in order to house them. We were happy. One of them stayed on as a Chem teacher and played a big part in my love for Chemistry. Great memories.
