With the greenlight of Columbia President Minouche Shafik and her administration, NYPD has entered Hind Hall through the windows and begun to mass arrest students inside. Let this be remembered as Columbia and Shafik’s legacy: one of mobilizing the violence and terror of the state against their own students and faculty, solely to prevent an end to Columbia’s complicity in a genocide.

      I don’t know why this is downvoted. I guess people just have believed the neoliberal lie that peaceful protest accomplish anything. Things get accomplished when there’s violence. The reason you aren’t all locked onto an assembly line in a factory somewhere from age of 8 to 80 is because your ancestors had guns and fought. It wasn’t peaceful. There was a war we fought.

      The protestors shouldn’t be breaking into buildings and barricading themselves in them.

                  Well I was specifically bothered about the illegal activities they’re using to protest, but sure, twist my words to fit your narrative.

                    not a narrative, if they were following what the authorities want there wouldnt be a protest.

              Look at you attempting to be all passive aggressive. We all know you try really hard behind your keyboard. Maybe one day you can even talk to a person without hiding your identity.

                  I actually try having discussions here, despite the tons of misinformation that flows through lemmy. That person literally had nothing to contribute beyond passive aggressive comments.
