The university has rules, they were broken, end of story.

[kbee]

Finally. You have the right to protest and the police have a right to arrest when you break the law.

who bought all those tents? Follow the money

[Lolozzz]

Send these protesters to Palestine!!! Let them help out over there

"We will not be a city of hate...Your grief does mean you can be lawless" this guy and his party MADE IT a city of hate and lawlessness.

We have rules and ALL IN AUTHORITY MUST DO YOUR JOBS AND NOT LET POLITICIANS TELL YOU TO LOOK THE OTHER WAY❗️❗️❗️❗️❗️

They set up pro hamas posters, not only pro Palestinians. Big difference

[rbird]

Trespassing? How much is tuition at Columbia again?

[eronthomas]

Why publish this. They will be released without bail in 20 minutes

[matthewdelano]

They don't know what American means

[matthewdelano]

Stop protesting please your in America.

The local university in my hometown hasnt had any public statements or protests against crime ir corruption. There is a way for them to remain peaceful and positive.

[lochdedy]

"United against hate" but actively enforcing it.

COlumbia is a private institution, you don't get to "protest" in someone elses backyard, it's tresspassing.

[ronaldwilkerson]

Pitching tents is not a protest. Besides, as soon as they were arrested they were released from jail. They acted like they did something great. It's just a matter of time before this becomes violent.

Disappointing speech by the Mayor. Americans need more specific information about what the protestors said or did that warrant their arrest. Especially, if there was no violence at the campus. I still have questions. Probably won't get them from the authorities though.
