Those Palestinian protesters could do a lot. If they went to Palestine, they could volunteer in hospitals they could volunteer in shelters they could hand out food they could even volunteer to fight the IDF

This is what you get with an open border. We have no ides who is here. How could we? This administration is a joke but who pays?

[lesliecas]

All charges will be dropped and there will be no consequences for these thugs. And these NYC "leaders" know this. They are playing the people of NY.

[shailendrambhide]

why are the portestors in the US, they should be in Gaza helping them sort out their lives. Hypocritical being in the US and doing nothing

[lovewins-]

If the University is incompetent, do authorities need to be asked ❗❓

[NWONG-qklt]

This incident clearly indicates the very weakness of the president of the Columbia University. She has to let go…

[petermcculloch]

How much does "professional" protesting pay?What is the hourly rate?Where do I apply for a position?

[elizabethlacky]

Call DeSantis, he takes care of business.

What about the one who wants to get food because she openly said she paid for the meal plan but won’t let students who pay tuition into the building? U sure she wasn’t a student?

They said they are Hamas Supporters.

What...this is my country I will sue you for putting the American people through is so many videos of violence and girl we saw many students doing it...dam lier 95 percent was students....

[malhanneera]

I feel sorry for the students, whose parents have taken Educational loans and the students actuality- want to- study continuesly ( without breaks)? 😢

[malhanneera]

If the Columbia University Authorities can not handle such situations? They should resign and allow some other person, to take charge, who can handle this in a professional manner and thus running of Collage becomes normal?😮

My brother went and picked his kids up week ago Friday. Said they aren’t going back. One in Austin one in California. Told the schools he wants all his money back.

[Some]

For sure the students don’t understand how dangerous these terorrists are around them in the protests

[lucylitvint]

So what are you doing about it, Mayor Adams? I heard you several times talking about outsiders involved in this madness but nothing was done? It is disgracefull!

[kimberlyvalpey]

Get your young adults away from these groups that will use them for bad

[ShellyD-yhxq]

Look like the same way from Jan 6.... make sure you tell the people 95 percent was students...

[LittleFrog]

So the students were right ✅️ all along and weren't the problem at Columbia.
