Leave it up to the working stiffs in the gardening department at Harvard to figure out how to send the campus protestors packing.
How do you handle antisemites who won't get off your lawn?
Well, leave it to the woikin' stiffs in hardhats at Harvard University to figure this one out. They turned the sprinklers on. Doing routine maintenance gardening work just like the union contract says meant they had to turn the sprinklers on to maintain the grass, with the programmed switch going off at 2:00 a.m. just like it was supposed to do.
Snowflakes ran running. Who knew all it took was some rain to melt the snowflakes, who as one may imagine, whined and complained mightily.
According to Breitbart News:
Anti-Israel, pro-Palestinian, and pro-Hamas protesters who camped out in Harvard Yard on Wednesday received a rude awakening overnight as automatic sprinklers switched on, soaking tents and sending the activists into a panic.
The Harvard Crimson reported that sprinklers began to turn on after 2:00 a.m. in 36º Fahrenheit weather. It later noted at 4:05 a.m. ET:
As protesters spend their first night in the Harvard Yard encampment, the biggest threat to their stay has not come from administrators or Harvard University police officers, but the Yard’s sprinklers.
Two more sprinklers turned on at the edge of the encampment near Massachusetts Hall. The sprinklers began to hit tents on the edge of the camp before protesters rushed over to covered the sprinklers with buckets and sit on them.
Harvard closed the gates of Harvard Yard to all but Harvard ID holders on Sunday, hoping to avoid the encampments that hit other universities. But there were enough Harvard students among the anti-Israel radicals to set up tents.

Oh no, not a cold shower!
Probably the first shower this crowd has had for months.
Free water
The colloquialism “took off running” would seem to be what they were groping for.
Perhaps that’s what the author actually wrote, then got mugged by an AI editor.
It’s 2 a.m., the fear has gone (the fear has gone)
I’m sittin’ here waitin’ (I’m sittin’ here waitin’)
The gun’s still warm (the gun’s still warm)
Maybe my connection is tired of takin’ chances
Sprinklers? Oh noes they will get wet and runaway...not! Want results? Drive some loaded manure spreaders through the bastards and give them back some of the shit they have been spreading.
Just turn the fire hoses on them and they will go home
I totally get that reference.
It’s not a coincidence. The sprinklers were installed in the summer of 1986 after Harvard Yard was occupied by anti-apartheid protestors for several months. When the students left for the summer they installed the sprinklers.
SHOULD have been first COUNTER MOVE
What took them so long....don’t ask...don’t tell
p
The very image of take a bath.
using the logical standard of the left, where guns are the problem any time someone fires it.
Sprinklers are racist.
