So people get to choose when and where to force the law?

Guys you are mad if you think that this people will stop. They are coordinated by serious activist. If you are going to do nothing , the only choice is to wait until they make a bigger mistake than occupying and entrenching themselves in a university building. Shameful, shameful to allow this things to happen.

I guess Speaker Johnson humiliated Mayor Adams by addressing this problem in person before he did. Sorry New York, you all voted for this clown. Now enjoy the failures of his policies.

These government agencies are mad because the young people are standing up for their rights

The NYPD better be prepared for a lawsuit if someone gets hurt.
