#Columbia University

[gingerswagfreckles]

Here we go again. Several dozen Columbia students are currently assaulting employees again. Last year they literally kidnapped and beat up a janitor and proceeded to have all the charges dropped against them by the Manhattan DA, forcing the janitor and his union to sue the school for putting employees in physical danger by not dealing with these absolute lunatics. Jews on the Upper West Side have been dealing with these kids absolutely plastering NYC with posters calling Hamas heroes and threatening that we are next for 16 months, and have had to listen to crowds of these students chanting "oh Hamas we love you and we love your rockets too" and "Al Qasam make us proud kill another soldier now" intermittently for the same amount of time. Their student newspaper regularly runs pieces about how Hamas are an organization of freedom fighters, and these kids pass out pamphlets on the street overtly celebrating the terrorists who committed the Oct 7th terrorist attacks and calling it resistance. But every SINGLE bit of coverage they get is overwhelmingly sympathetic, and when anyone even suggests, you know, doing something about the mobs of students chanting pro Hamas slogans at their Jewish peers for months on end and kidnapping Columbia employees, they get called Zionist Agents and it's just more proof that Jews control the world. I fucking hate it here.

More of pro-Palestine college students being totally detached from reality.

Who wants to tell them that a “preponderance of the evidence” is the legal standard of proof in the vast majority of civil law suits.

It is not “draconian;” it is literally the American evidentiary standard used for determining liability or lack there of in a civil case.

That means you are being judged by the same standard that your university would be subject to in the event that another student decided to bring a lawsuit against them for negligent behavior.

What have you been learning in college, exactly?

As protests start ramping up and violence escalates please remember:

DO NOT PUT MILK IN YOUR EYES FOR PEPPER SPRAY OR TEAR GAS.

It can and will cause infection due to bacteria. Flush with water, distilled if possible, and never EVER wear contact lenses to protests where there may be police retaliation.

Please reblog. It may save someone's sight.

‼️‼️

If you're having trouble keeping up with what's going on in Palestine because of US news coverage of university protests, here are some articles you can read and a video you can watch:

While CNN & all the other mainstream media try to paint the university protests as "pro terrorism" (which they're not, they're literally anti-war protests.) Palestinians are being slaughtered by the minute.

Please don't stop speaking about Palestine.

This elderly woman was one of the leaders of demonstrations against the Vietnam War in 1968, when she was a student at Columbia University. Today, 56 years later, she returns to the same place and says, "Palestine must be free."

Hind Rajab was a 5 year old girl in Gaza who was killed while she hid alone in a car, along with the paramedics who tried to rescue her. Yesterday students at Columbia seized the administration building and renamed it in her honor.

When the rest of the world looks at the united states right now, we see a government who sends billions to support genocide but cannot help their own people starving on the streets.

We see a police force who won't go in to save children from school shootings, but deploy at a rapid rate to arrest peaceful protestors using their right to free speech to protest a genocide

America, you are a war mongering snake eating your own tail. You will protect and support war criminals in another country but let your own people starve and die

To the students bravely protesting now, we see your strength. We see what we saw when students protested the Vietnam War. We have faith you will prevail
