If you want your eyes to hurt, then take a look at these protesters forming a wall of orange. This is taking place at Columbia University. They look like they just got off their day shift at the Kool Aid factory where they pump sugar into little packets and now they’re covered in the leftover dust. Oh wait, they linked arms to let you know they’re serious. But yeah, I can’t take these protests serious because no one over here in America can stop whatever’s going on over seas. This ain’t our battle. What do you want us to do? We can’t make a phone call and be like “yo, stop fighting, OK thanks!” I wish we could!
Go back to class, folks. These protests aren’t making any difference. They’re just making people annoyed and wasting your own time. If you’re a student there, then ask for a refund. This isn’t what you signed up for. This is a waste of time and giving the college a bad reputation. VOA News reported on the protesters:
Dozens of protesters took over a building at Columbia University in New York early Tuesday, barricading the entrances and unfurling a Palestinian flag out of a window in the latest escalation of demonstrations against the Israel-Hamas war that have spread to college campuses nationwide.
Video footage showed protesters on Columbia’s Manhattan campus locking arms in front of Hamilton Hall early Tuesday and carrying furniture and metal barricades to the building, one of several that was occupied during a 1968 civil rights and anti-Vietnam War protest on the campus. Posts on an Instagram page for protest organizers shortly after midnight urged people to protect the encampment and join them at Hamilton Hall.
