Maelstrom: Hooded figures break into Columbia buildings, take hostages; UCLA protestors block Jewish students from classes
American Thinker ^ | 30 Apr, 2024 | Monica Showalter

It's like someone out there issued an order ...

It's getting to be a maelstrom out there, with weak university responses emboldening pro-Hamas campus protestors.

Columbia University bought itself a boatload of trouble by ignoring its own deadline yesterday to make protestors clear out, although suspension notices were reportedly issued to some.

Now pro-Hamas protestors are taking over school buildings and taking hostages. Last night, hooded men crawled up the university building known as John Jay Hall where the administrators work and got out hammers to smash glass to break into the building, barricading it with junked furniture, and taking three maintenance workers in the building hostage. And like the Munich Olympics terrorists of 1972, they put on their black masked skinsuit ensembles and crawled up into a freshman student dorm full of 18 year olds called Hamilton Hall and took it over.

They're also reportedly physically assaulting and beating up Jewish students now.

And the faculty have joined, creating a new problem:

And in the swamp style, a 'consultant' and NGOs have crawled out of the woodwork:

SNIP

It's definitely an escalation, and coming at the same time, happening at the most prestigious universities in the largest cities in the U.S. has the feel of a directive given.

If this were a peaceful protest, as these university leaders are treating it, the protestors would have made their point and gone home. But it's not. It's a coercive thug action, as if might makes right, and never mind about the debate of ideas that a university is supposed to be about. The Columbia president is going full 'Clark Kerr' and allowing protestors to crawl all over her.

anyone covering their faces should be immediately arrested.

Bingo!

This was being used a lot in 2020, and covid was the perfect excuse.
They need anonymity for protection of the violent actors, but almost all of them mask up in order to make it hard to identify the potential violent actors. It’s all very coordinated, including timing of distraction and decoys.

But even if the NGOs and funding have zero connection to any government agency or entity and it’s all neat and tidy and meant to look organic, the government supports it by lack of investigation, let alone enforcement.

That’s not a bold statement. I can prove it by asking one simple question.
What do you think the government would be doing if large crowds of “right” leaning or “MAGA types” (in the parlance of the left) gathered wearing masks and gear? Exactly how hands off do you think it would be?

Okay, hostages, physically assaulting and beating up students? Is this real and verified?

X - @WallStreetSilv - Hamas supporters have reportedly taken hostages within the University now.

Video at link is all I know at this point.

They should have hauled off and killed the hostage takers immediately. Leave them dead and bloody on the floor. Clear self-defense.

When the University leadership has a philosophy that the past, history, culture, and physical plant have no value, this is what you get.

The university leadership should know the story of Maximilien François Marie Isidore de Robespierre and the French Revolution, but history is unimportant to them.

The NG should be called out fully armed with automatic weapons and fixed bayonets; a few of these idiots getting skewered would send a very strong deadly message to the rest of the idiots.

Let the NG box them in creating a kill box and call in 1-2 Apache gunships for cleanup and have the survivors cleanup the mess. If they refuse shoot them and scoop the bodies with bulldozers and dump them in the front yards of those responsible and tell them: you clean it up or you join them your choice.
