    Do you mean like shooting dead an unarmed woman for the high crime of criminal trespass?

    When ‘merely demonstrating’ turns into disrupting people’s lives, intimidation and preventing students from getting the education they paid for, it’s no longer merely demonstrating and it should be a crime.

    Nobody instructed this policeman to shoot this woman, he did it to protect Congress members form the "hang Mike Pence" crowd. Back the blue, right?

    Now, going back to the topic of the thread, after your useless deflections. I already stated that protesters committing criminal acts should be held accountable. Your turn for saying the same about the 1/6 rioters. Should they be held accountable? Yes or no? Are they political "hostages"? Yes or no?

    A statement from UF. It seems more than reasonable to me.

    This isn't about Jan. 6. Bringing it up is simple deflection.

    Tell this to our friend @sec. He brought it up, I didn't, until he goaded me to reply to his deflections. It might help to actually read the thread before accusing posters of something they didn't do.

    Nazis block Jews from entering the University of Vienna. Austria, 1938.

    You nip the crap in the bud before it becomes what it is at Columbia.

    I am glad you used the term "January 6" because these protesters are breaking in to hall, breaking in to class room, and preventing other students from taking their Exams, similar to J6 incarcerations. Columbia University is not a federal building, so FBI cannot prosecute them. However, every student who is identified as breaking and entering should be suspended for the semester and prosecuted fully by the law.

    Now.. the fun part began and lets see how latte liberal defend these interactions.

    There needs to be a full investigation as to who is paying for this. Right wing people think that George Soros' fingerprints are all over this. If they are, there should be some way to prosecute him.

    It does not matter what the culture is in the colleges and universities were the antisemitic demonstrations occur. If outside agitators are whipping up the masses, they need to be kicked off campus immediately and prosecuted if a law applies. If students are whipping up the antisemitism, they need to be expelled. It's amazing that the left is ready to condemn the KKK and Nazis, and yet when left wing students the same thing, they are strangely silent.

    Now , now . lets be little civil.. After all they are kids. Most are between 18-22 and most have no clue. they can't even point Gaza on a map. I am with you, if any one breaks a door, or window and preventing other students, let suspend them , prosecute them and give them slap on the wrist. But what you are suggesting will put their lives in danger. We want them learn their lesson but not destroy their lives.

    I do agree with you about foreign student. Any foreign student found at the protest regardless of whether they are breaking in or not, their Visa should be revoked for life. We welcome foreign students to come and study here in USA, but not doing politics or influencing US foreign policies.

    It’s funny people will believe any thing they read. George Soros is a holocaust surviving Jew. But to right wing media he is anti-Israel, pro-Hamas. Even Bibi N believes that.

    I don't defend violent protests. I assume there are others that feel the same. I don't feel that people who break the law should be immune from prosecution whether they be a University student or the President.

    George Soros is inhuman anarchist. He is no longer a practicing Jew unless he is using his ethnic background to claim victim status. I don't know what is wrong his brain, but he is evil as hell. He really hates humanity and wants to do all he can to make the human condition worse.

    Interesting, then why just one officer and why single out the unarmed, female Air Force veteran? Bullets should have been flying if this so-called threat to the congress-critters was so real. I will never understand the gyrations trying to support Democrat talking points.

    But hey, horn-guy is a serious threat to democracy; or so says your Democrat party.

    Typical neo marxist. Cultural Marxism is now mainstream on the left.

    It isn't about Jan 6th, It's more like Charlottesville.

    Only instead of one event, the left are having a Charlottesville every single day at multiple locations across the country. They were sure mad about Charlottesville a few years ago, but the left seems quite OK with their multiple Charlottesville's.

    I was on the Columbia campus a few months ago and it's a beautiful place. It's a shame it's become such a symbol of hate now.

    They also think Chuck Shumer and Bernie Sanders are Jew haters, whatever RW media tells them.

    These aren't "kids". They are adults (with the mental function of toddlers but that's a whole other conversation). If they are in a group that is protesting peacefully, their lives will not be destroyed. But if they are committing crimes, be it violence, threats, etc. throw the book at them and who gives a damn about their lives? These are terrorist sympathizers who will graduate to be full on terrorists. For every destroyed terrorist life, other innocent future lives may be saved.
