Minuteman Founder Attacked At Columbia
Video: Students Attack Minuteman Founder
“Students stormed the stage at Columbia University’s Roone auditorium yesterday, knocking over chairs and tables and attacking Jim Gilchrist, the founder of the Minutemen, a group that patrols the border between America and Mexico.”
“Having wreaked havoc onstage, the students unrolled a banner that read, in both Arabic and English, “No one is ever illegal.” As security guards closed the curtains and began escorting people from the auditorium, the students jumped from the stage, pumping their fists, chanting victoriously, “Si se pudo, si se pudo,” Spanish for “Yes we could!”
Michelle Malkin has the reaction from the “peaceful” mob:
The following short statement was put together collectively after the event by the audience members who had climbed up onto the stage:
We celebrate free speech: for that reason we allowed the Minutemen
to speak, and for that same reason we peacefully occupied the stage and
spoke ourselves. Our peaceful protest was violently attacked by
members of the College Republicans and their supporters, who are the
very same people who invited the Minutemen to our campus in the
first place. The Minutemen are not a legitimate voice in the debate on
immigration. They are a racist, armed militia who have declared
open hunting season on immigrants, causing countless hate crimes and over
3000 deaths on the border. Why should exploitative corporations have
free passes between nations, but individual people not? No human
being is illegal.
Actually, you didn’t let them speak. The manhad just been introduced and you stormed the stage. You stormed the stage, not the Republicans. You say you celebrate free speech and invited the MM, but just 4 senteces later, you say the MM are not a legitimate voice? But your’s is?

Mob rule at Columbia, especially the New School. It is a waste of money and time to go there.
Of course, silence from shitoh.
