"danielukaegbu7807," Except back then -- half a century PLUS a few years -- proportionately the overall populace was better educated, more informed yet equally as impassioned. The U.S. did not have two embarrassments as Democratic and Republican presidential candidates in the 1968 election. Most importantly, even the most virulent anti-Vietnam War protestor did not desire maiming and slaughtering (i.e., murdering en masse) their fellow Americans like these adhering to and following the Quran.

He's disappointed there is no graduation ceremony? All seniors should have thought about that and opposed the insane actions that resulted in the cancelation of graduation ceremonies. The actions of students demonstrators comes with reactions. It is unfortunate that those creating the ruckus and disruption impacts and ruins campus life for everyone else. But Columbia is smart to cancel graduation for safety issue...what a great forum graduation ceremony would be to demonstrate more extremism. They've made their point; now let them suffer the consequences. Expulsion and no entrance to any university for those caught disrupting university business (classes, studying, access to the work place of the 'untitled" class who provide meals, clean toilets, mop floors, fix plumbing...etc.. ACTIONS sometimes bring self-imposed REACTIONS. These "kids" should be denied All things campus related. Get them out into the real work and put their behinds to work in factories, infrastructure building, agriculture, and food production. The ruckus and campus disruption comes with consequences in the real world. If the disruptors were committed to helping the Palestinians they would be IN Palestine doing work to help those who are unable to help themselves.

If only all these protests actually make a difference. This …. this protest thing ….. it’s not about actual physical real results like changing anything about the horrific situation in Israel and Gaza and the entire Middle East mess. If you have ever been involved in one of these things, what you figure out when you get older …. it’s all just “hurray for our side ….”

Who can remain indifferent to the genocide in Gaza? Given the information of the crimes in Gaza is at hand, the protests are not going to stop because this situation is unacceptable, despite the efforts to punish protesters who denounce the Gaza genocide and to repress freedom of speech to suppress the truth.

0:49 - 1:25 A quip of, a silly slant on the situation: The graduating senior, Mr. Amir Bell, despondent like his 15 family members from Atlanta now in limbo over USC's president categorically cancelling the traditional public commencement, could save all that travel money and time -- and simply drive over to Emory -- where, from what we see on news accounts and read the on-sight reports, protests have been just as disruptive as those continuing at USC this week -- and just play like Mr. Bell is 'walking' at USC's (Los Angeles) campus's Alumni Lawn (ed. - the hotbed of activity, center of campus) on May 10. With a bit of imagination, Emory's chaos will feel just like USC's in L.A. just with a different segment of the mob of Palestinian supporters here, there, everywhere making noise. Okay, reverting to the serious: In support of Amir Bell, USC Class of '24, 'Congratulations!! "Fight On!!" How blessed you are to have over a dozen, supportive folks within your extended family to witness and share in YOUR milestone. . . . Your sadness, your and your family's frustration with the unexpected dilemma is multiplied by the thousands of other graduating seniors' families faced with similar sets of circumstances -- a highly anticipated occasion of admiration and celebration and love is CRUSHED. Thank you, NBC News and Liz Kreutz.
