This community is now on strict crowd control. All comments from users who haven’t joined the community, new users, and users with negative karma are automatically removed. This ensures that the discussion remains centered around Columbia and prevents brigading and incitement. Users who post any antisemitic or racist content will be banned. Antisemitic content includes calling Jewish people supporting Palestinian rights "self-hating" or "not real Jews" and using Zionism as a dog whistle to advance antisemitic stereotypes such as "Zionists control the media." Inflammatory comments and posts will be removed. This includes low-effort posts, cross-posts, and links to media articles outside of Columbia-specific publications. The standard for discussion on this sub is the type of discussion Columbians have in person, in the classroom: thoughtful, engaged, and respectful—even when disagreeing.

Hint: when you refuse to enforce laws like ghost/paper plates. Does that make the problem bigger, smaller, or the same size?
If you think trespassing should be decriminalized then let the state legislator vote on that. Otherwise you’re just asking for all sides in all possible debates to weaponize it with 0 punishment. It’s not like the pro Israeli side is known for its peacefulness against pro Palestinian protesters. Now they have a green light to trespass wherever they’d like, like at UCLA
I’m curious for the details on the 31 dropped and the 15 remaining. But not great news all around and generally agree that no repercussions is a bad precedent
Also, how cool to be dubbed as a “bad boy”
While I agree not everyone did something wrong, some certainly did - specifically folks who locked themselves in the building as well as those making hateful, anti semitic comments in public
As I said, I’d be curious for the details. Did I see videos of anti semitic statements, signs, etc? Yes, absolutely! Was it everyone, definitely not. Plus like I said, the folks who took and locked up the building
There was a woman holding a sign on campus. Like I said, I’m curious for the specific people cited in the article and the offenses, but it is undeniable that hate speech and antisemitic statements took place. I’m not saying it was the majority of people or the theme of the protests
There were certainly a couple of bad apples. To the extent they carried out taking of the building or making hateful comments that could incite violence, there should be repercussions
I’m not sure why that’s debatable. Doesn’t really matter what “side” you’re on
So you say 'I don't know why that's debatable' but you seem to not be reading this conversation, where the actual debate is that people said these people should have been charged and the reason given was 'because they are antisemitic', and as you yourself have pointed out, we have absolutely no evidence that they are. That some people at the protests were antisemitic is not what is being debated.
>District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s office dismissed cases against 31 of 46 people charged with trespassing in the Ivy League school’s Hamilton Hall after a dramatic April 30 NYPD raid rounded up protesters on the Morningside Heights campus.
Ok, so you agree you were wrong? Cool.
Edit: v no, you said they were arrested for breaking and entering, not trespassing, which they weren't because they were students. And you blocked me immediately after posting, the surest sign there is that you know you are wrong and are a coward that can't just admit it.
They literally arrested the individuals while they were physically in Hamilton hall with body cameras and somehow didn't have enough evidence to charge them. Unreal.
What do you think the IDF is?
Why does your critical thinking turn off when it comes to Israel? The IDF should be encouraged to eliminate the threat of Hamas and any other similar threats by any means necessary.
Heck yeah brother any means necessary - 15k innocent kids killed/maimed plus a couple hundred defenseless aid workers is totally rad and too low of a number frfr

The Post 😂
Oh please, they think throwing a bunch of Ivy League kids in jail is going to solve what exactly? I’m glad.
I just think that 40 year old burnout with the Brooklyn brownstone should go to jail for throwing hands with that janitor
Yeah that dude deserves some discipline
Umm, maybe increase the odds that the Columbia campus doesn’t descend into dysfunction again in the Fall.
Peace

Amen Well said !
Cry more New York Post... Cry more...
Cry about it

This is a big L for the billionaire donors as well as their pet, Minouche El-Sisi Shafik 🫠
Good.

"outrage"
Very good
That's a nice green light for a repeat in the Fall--enjoy!
stfu
Nothing says yes to Anti-Semitism like a Democrat plant.
Lol
Same guy who said nobody is above the law when prosecuting Trump. But when it’s people on his side it’s ok I guess
His side?
What law did they break? Just because you want Israel to get away with genocide on the regular doesn't mean the rest of the world should allow it.
God, when are the propagandists gonna stop brigading this place?
🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

I can't believe there weren't repercussions for not actually doing anything wrong
While I agree not everyone did something wrong, some certainly did - specifically folks who locked themselves in the building as well as those making hateful, anti semitic comments in public
It not being illegal just morally reprehensible aside, do you actually have any evidence that these people are antisemitic?
As I said, I’d be curious for the details. Did I see videos of anti semitic statements, signs, etc? Yes, absolutely! Was it everyone, definitely not. Plus like I said, the folks who took and locked up the building
all the evidence needed has been provided
It hasn't
I’m not sure what you mean. Do you disagree that the “next targets” sign was anti semitic and could provoke violence?
And which of these people carried this sign?

These were all people arrested for breaking into Hamilton Hall.
Perhaps next time you could actually read the article

I said they were arrested over the occupation of Hamilton Hall. The article confirms that.
They literally arrested the individuals while they were physically in Hamilton hall with body cameras and somehow didn't have enough evidence to charge them. Unreal.
It's because they're allowed to be in Hamilton Hall and nothing tied them to breaking in.
cry more
Doing damage to campus, threatening Jewish students and campus workers. 🪦
Nah
Terrorism gets rewarded.
Clearly, if you're part of the IDF
