They should be embarrassed, but I'm sure Columbia will provide what they are asking for.

Ha!

They want to “fight” for their ideas but came woefully unprepared to the battle field.

They should ALL be EXPELLED not so much for protesting but for being utterly STUPID. Some graduates they would be: borderline imbeciles.

Kick them out. Give their places in the school and all the financial aid to US veterans who have high ASVAB scores. At the very least, they’re a lot better at planning.

Good grief.

They'll come out when they get thirsty and hungry enough. The hostages held by Hamas don't have that option.

Agree.

They need their Evian.

They're bottle babies.

They just needed to cut off the electricity, once those cell phones died they would have surrendered. They are out of that building now, it will be interesting to see how many are expelled or charged. Quite a bit of damage to that building.

The criminals who seized Hamilton Hall at Columbia were professional agitators, not students.

Of the 300 arrested at Columbia University overnight, the majority are not students.

2020 BLM became 2024 Hamas.

Then they need to have the book thrown at them.

“Seizing” a building should be trespassing, breaking and entering at a minimum plus all the property destroyed/damaged, etc.

Sadly I think there is a lot of truth in what you say. Petulant, spoiled, bratty little children who think they have all the answers to very complicated situations, and who the university (or perhaps the whole world) should kowtow to. I hope every one of these pro-Hamas protestors gets a heaping helping of reality real soon.
