Baltimore Police on Wednesday arrested students who locked down the Johns Hopkins University main administration building as part of an ongoing protest over the creation of a private police force and the university’s contracts with ICE.

The Hopkins students have been staging a sit-in in Garland Hall since April 3, and locked down the building May 1, chaining doors shut and forcing the building’s closure.

“locked down the building May 1, chaining doors shut and forcing the building’s closure.”

They’re called bolt cutters.

locking down a building and chaining the doors. Isn’t that a fire code problem?

Time to start cracking some heads on these punks.

YES!!

Protests are outside on the sidewalk with signs and maybe the odd megaphone. You take over the building and chain the doors and you endanger others as well as prevent the school from serving the needs of others.

But it is BUTTlamore so you would kinda expect stupid.

Stupid students acting stupidly at one of the top universities in the country. JHU is surrounded by ghetto, while on-campus crime is increasing, and these morons don't want an additional police force looking out for their safety. Why anyone would oppose more security is mind-boggling.

JHU should immediately change their admissions standards to attract fewer snowflakes and justice warriors.
