There's a difference between peaceful protest and violent protest. We know it.

I'm from west Africa and I've got to say this take AMERICA 🇺🇸 back before is too late 😢 GOD BLESS AMERICA..

It all boils down to the leadership of this country!!!

MAJOR difference between peaceful protest....and violent riot & property damage! Arrest and charge w vandalism

That President should be arrested for criminal charges

These "spoiled brats", do they have parents?

Kudos 👏 on the arrests, but absolutely disgusting and disgraceful on behalf of all the parents who allowed their children not only to participate in these protests but to disrespect our Flag, our Veterans, who fought so bravery to protect the freedom we have. Leadership in our society is at the lowest of and all time.

I'm guessing the never taught real history at columbia

IT'S RIOTS NOT PROTEST

All should be expelled with no tuitions payed back

The youngsters think free speech is attacking the American flag...Aren't they sweet

We are watching history repeat itself. If we don't get control of it.

All of those students will claim on their resume' that they were "active in politics" while they were in college. Then they'll run for office. God help us all.

These students should be banned from going to any college. They have no respect for anyone, including themselves!!! They took for granted what this country has to offer.. In other parts of the world, they would not have a College or University. And worst part is that probably some of these students got government grants to be able to attend Colombia. All these professors who encourage violence the type of that was since on TV should be reprimanded.

They had literally taken over a building with water faucets. They are so entitled that they were demanding bottled water or they would "die" of dehydration. What kind of little monsters have people created?

They need to make it that protesting isn’t allowed on campus period. College and university campuses are for education, not activism. They can protest outside

Give me a break Senator! These spoiled brats have to be held accountable for all the things they caused! People were hurt by there actions! Do you think our police like to have to stand up against these spoiled brats? What about them. Our government needs to apologize for bringing our Peace keepers into this kind of situation! They are owed apologies

Spoiled brats is an understatement

The difference between this protest and most others is that they are representing a foreign nation on US soil this is a hostile army not a protest. you can protest gov. protest people protest rights but you cannot be a traitor to the nation on behalf of another country.

expel and deport, if outsiders. If citizens, expel and future employers should be notified of this during background checks.

Americans have forgotten what WWII was fought for.

How much did you cost the taxpayers for letting this get out of hand?

Everybody take notes on WHO NOT to vote for!!!!!

He is Absolutely right to put the blame down to the teachers and managements and university heads who have been fostering anti semitism and anti American sentiments over decades.

They should be charged, expelled and their student visas, if they have them removed and sent back home. To wherever that may be.

Education! Education not indoctrination

Protesters? No terrorists

If they look like they're from Hamas, Talk like they're from Hamas, Act like they're from Hamas... They're part of Hamas.

Since they want to support a terrorist organization so bad, they should be charged as terrorists.

People who lived and survived 9/11 need to speak out at these campuses since many of these brats have no clue what happened on that day. If you watch the wholevideo, the commentators mention how 9/11 happened not too far from Columbia U and how these students probably don't know what happened because some may not have been born.

HOW DARE THEY TAKE DOWN OUR AMERICAN FLAG

Peaceful protesting does not entail engaging in acts of violence, disruption, or aggression against individuals with differing political views on foreign affairs. Such behavior constitutes a form of political discrimination and ideological intolerance. Vandalism is unlawful and defines one as a vandal. Theft is morally reprehensible and classifies one as a thief. Assaulting others with rocks, water bottles, or fists is deplorable and designates one as an assailant. Preventing students and teachers from accessing school due to their religious beliefs makes you a bigot. These actions do not align with the principles of peaceful protest. "Don't believe your lying eyes" Recent events on campuses are on video and have demonstrated behavior that contradicts the ideals of peaceful, non-violent, orderly, and respectful protest. There are numerous videos depicting protesters disrespecting students and staff, infringing upon their right to safety. It is beyond comprehension why individuals would protest a foreign war by inciting violence within our own borders. The United States of America is the melting pot of the world. We are a rich tapestry of cultures, religions, and ethnicities. We are Black, Hispanic, White, Asian, Native American, Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islanders. We are Multiracial, and many of us are of Mixed-race heritage. We are Muslim, Christian, Jewish, Buddhist, Hinduist, and Atheist. We are American. To harbor hatred towards our country is to display a deficiency in resilience and dedication to the fundamental aspiration shared by all: freedom. Your freedom ends where mine begins.

Well spoken Senator ! You said it All!

They all act dumb like they don’t know how to listen. They should be expelled. Not suspension. And visa revoked. Failing to listen to many warnings and disrespect for authority.

Well done NYPD.❤️🙏 University leadership should have given permission to go on campus sooner!! University was complicit in promoting Antisemitism by not stopping supporters of Hamas Terrorists. Sickening!!😡😡

If they hate this country so bad then why are these criminals here?

They’re imitating Hamas

This was nonsense and should never have happened in our COUNTRY 😡

take away any student loans any arrested for protest

they get arrested and let out the same day you need long jail sentences or it will never end

We stand with the police. It is deeply disturbing that a generation of parents have worked hard and paid for these young people to go to universities to be radicalised and used by activists.

Need to arrest them citizenship REVOKED and deported immediately !!

They must definitely be expelled and deported

Islam madness

I stand with Israel. 100%

Well, I guess their futures is doo, now they have a criminal record.

To go to college is a privilege.

Started with Obama and now I really believe Obama is pulling the Biden strings

Hamas is now fully operating in America

Flag of Hamas Neo- Swastika

They are not all students. They are paid agitators.

When will the ". . . weak men create hard times . . ." era be over in America?😟

And the arrested should have a record…

Arrest, expell, cancel visas, cancel Student loans, Remove credits acredations

Those professors need to lose their jobs and not be allowed to teach anywhere again

Israel is only small country was surrounding by Muslims country, that's why we need to stand with Israel.

Throw Soros in jail. It’ll stop.

This isn't rocket science. When you place an invisible fence in front of hyenas what do you think is going to happen? 😂

All protesters are at fault - students, teachers, administrators and outsider’s. Jail time. Job loss. Terrorism is not a free speech issue.

This Senator is Bang On! Well said

NY will still Vote for Buyden this November because they like living in His World..

Islam put a dome on top of an older religion.

Exactly!! I agree with this gentleman.

Biden's voters

Send them to Palestine.

SHAME on Columbia University! I’m so glad my kids didn’t attend there. I hope the university loses major donors which would hopefully get them to consider offering actual education instead of indoctrination.

Much worse than spoiled brats. Its a far bigger and complexed fenomenon

I'm so glad that someone said that out loud. "Nothing sums up this generation better . . . than that press conference." I'm getting really tired of having so many "I told you so" moments. An entire generation acting for social media, likes, clicks, subscriptions, etc. Make me want to hurl.

Yes expelled… and if they have student visas…. Take them away

If they are so concerned about "Palestinian genocide", then why protest on a comfortable American college campus, 6,000 miles away? Send these defenders of all things they have no clue about over to Israel so they can address Netanyahu directly.

Even Beat Poet Jack Kerouac left Columbia University in the early 1940s, saying: "All they want to do is teach communism." You bet that this has been around for a long time. Herbert Marcuse, the archect of "Critical Theory" was given tenure at the University of California in San Diego and Long Beach, where he taught radicalism for decades!

DEMONstrators

Our kids WANT to be edgy. They want to be the cognozenti, the ones who know what is really going on. Sad that they know so little.

This all started in the 70's during affirmative action. Which was deemed to be unconstitutional. So they renamed it DEI. It was never about inclusion, equity and lol, diversity. It's all about Division, Identity and Elitists

@1:40 it was a social experiment done by the professors

Expel..if not USA citizens deport..no final exams.

Forget college and bring back the military draft. Teach them to respect our flag and country 🇺🇸, turn them into soldiers and not spoiled brats

You don't take down a American flag and put up a terrorist flag. Unforgivable in the USA IT'S NOT ALOW ED BIG BIG MISTAKE. THAT FLAG MEANS A LOT TO PEOPLE ALL OVER THE WORLD. OLD GLORY WILL FOR EVER WAVE .

Professors taught them this shite!

How many of the 282 were real students?

Institutions of Degenerative Learning.

Our constitution provides for the right to peaceable assembly. That means you're free to communicate any ideas you wish, BUT you've got to obtain permit, not to censor you but to ensure that you can't disrupt those who are not a part of your big noise. This is because the constitution does not provide the right to disrupt the lives of others. Also, the permitting process and law enforcement should be politically neutral. But now the courts, cops, and laws have all been partisanized toward the left. Democratic decision has been replaced by mob action. Our "leadership class" has leveraged disproportionate power for itself by a true and actual subversion of democracy. Pressure groups, think tanks, and "activists" are nothing more than groups who hack democracy and honest discourse.

*This is how you know these people can't think for themselves:* They protest a war between two separate nations, where one side is responding to an unprovoked attack, yet, *they've been silent for the past 3 years while the military of Myanmar slaughters its people* following a coup, where they took control of the government *because the people voted for Aung San Suu Kyi. Who is she? Oh, just a woman who was awarded the LITERAL Nobel Peace Prize for campaigning for democracy!* You can't make this up!! It sounds like a novel or film, but it's reality!!! The Armed Conflict Location and Event Data Project says that *the war in Myanmar is the MOST violent of the 50 conflicts it tracks.* Since the coup, *at least 50,000 people have been killed there, including at least 8,000 civilians,* the group says. By the end of last year, *more than 2.6 million people had been driven from their homes* in a country of about 55 million, according to the United Nations human rights office. *More than 18 million people are in desperate need of humanitarian assistance,* according to the United Nations, which says that a million had required such aid before the coup. *Each month, hundreds of thousands of people are displaced by the fighting.* YET, THEY PROTEST ISRAEL

Well where are their parents; and do they support and tolerate this behavior?

What I as born in America, as my parents grandparts, great great grandparents..Why don't the Dean manage and leaders of America, stop this nonsense of this type of actions..STOP IT

Can a college get sued by the city? If so, sue them to get compensated for the use of law enforcement.

Everyone should be standing against this. Shame on you if you are not. Be on the right side of history people.

This is a Jewish school.What is going on?

American education . . . . 25 years and they come out "knowing" men are bad, but not knowing that Mercury orbits the Sun.

They were probably released at once without bail and no charges will be pressed.

Senator is 💯 right and on point with this anslysis. This behavior persists because its tolerated. It shouldn't be.

Please address the deal some universities are making with students to give full scholarships to Palestinians, to hire Palestinian professors, and to build Muslim centers on campus. How will they prevent terrorism from growing even more? How will they protect Jewish and Christian students?

Wonder who’s funding them? Free Pullovers, scarves, food (booze), tents etc. students do not normally have extra $$ to waste.

So you might remember not too long ago New York reformed bail for various offenses. Gee, I wonder what they thought might be coming.....

Nothing will happen. Charges will be dropped, and Jan 6 polictical prisoners will languish.

GOD stands with Israel 🙏❤️

they probably get tuition paid for creating chaos.

How many of these CHILDREN are STUDENTS?

Free America from Gaza!

A agree 100 percent
