There's a new sheriff in town: update on yesterday's Columbia Library occupation

/

I forsee travel to a foreign land in your future

I’d feared that nothing would be done to punish these thugs — the Columbia administrators let them stay inside for five hours, after all, before calling in the police — but Columbia no longer controls who gets punished (that would be no one) and who gets the boot.

Marco Rubio to Review Visa Status of Pro-Palestine Protesters Arrested at Columbia University Library

Hundreds of pro-Palestine protesters clashed with New York City police outside Columbia University in Manhattan on Wednesday night. Earlier in the day, protesters took over the school’s library. This backfired as authorities locked them inside and arrested many of them. Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced he’s reviewing the visa status of those arrested, meaning they could be sent packing back to their home countries.

It’s good start; now expel those who are students, and send all of them: foreign visa holders, students, and run of the mill trespassers alike, to Rikers Island for, say, two weeks, to reflect on things, and for the encouragement of others. That would be end of this crap, right there.
