Anti-Jewish Vandalism at Northwestern University During Passover

Just when you thought the pro-Hamas activists in the US couldn't go any lower. Northwestern University awoke Monday morning to find anti-Jewish, anti-Israel graffiti painted on the walls of campus buildings, including one that houses a Holocaust educational foundation.

This is the report from the campus newspaper, the Daily Northwestern.

"Intifada now!" (Apparently misspelled)

"In recent history, the inverted red triangle has been used at various times as a way to identify Israeli targets for Hamas fighters or a symbol of Palestinian resistance." - Daily Northwestern

"One of the buildings vandalized was Kresge Centennial Hall, home to the Holocaust Educational Foundation of Northwestern University. Founded by Auschwitz survivor Theodore Zev Weiss, the foundation is dedicated to preserving Holocaust memory and advancing education about its lessons. The symbolism of this attack, and its location, is deeply painful."

-Chicago Jewish Alliance

As long as these Hamas-lovers continue this repugnant activity, the more the American people are turning away in disgust. Whoever did this should be expelled if they are students, fired if they are employed by the university, and prosecuted. If they are non-citizens, they should be deported.

In Hamburg, a 15-year-old Iraqi boy was allegedly pushed out of an 8th-floor window of a high-rise and died from his injuries. According to police, the 8th-floor apartment was broken into by a group of people, and an altercation ensued in which the boy was allegedly thrown from the window. Police have arrested 4 Syrian males between the ages of 16-20 and a 22-year-old Iraqi female.

The legacy of Angela Merkel lives on in Germany.

Hamburg- Deadly drama in a Hamburg high-rise

In the middle of the night, police were called to a terrible incident. In Hamburg-Harburg, a youth fell to his death from the 8th floor in a high-rise. He was 15 years old.

When the firefighters, rescue personnel, and police arrived around 1:15 am in Soltauaer Ring, they found the lifeless body of the teenager in a back courtyard. Despite immediate resuscitation efforts, he died shortly thereafter.

15-year-old apparently pushed from high-rise

Evidence suggests that the youth was pushed out of the window of the 14-story high-rise. The officers confirmed at the scene: The 15-year-old did not fall by himself, rather was apparently pushed. Before, there was reportedly a fight between several persons.

According to police, several persons reportedly forced their way into the apartment on the 8th floor and attacked the people present there. Shortly thereafter, the 15-year-old, according to BILD's information, an Iraqi, fell to his death.

A large deployment of police officers, many heavily armed with sub-machine guns, combed the high-rise looking for the perpetrators. Service dogs were also deployed.

5 preliminary arrests

Three young men (between 17-22), who witnessed the incident, were in shock. They were treated at the scene and initially held because it was unclear if they were involved in their friend's death.

The attackers then fled the scene. The police immediately launched a large-scale manhunt. In the city district of Hammerbrook, officers stopped 2 taxis.

Due to a match with the description of the perpetrators, police took the passengers into initial custody. According to information from the (police) spokesperson, they are 4 Syrian teenagers and young men (16, 17, 20, 20), as well as a 22-year-old Iraqi woman.

They are currently in police custody on suspicion of the crime.

The scene of the crime was cordoned off. The detectives were securing evidence into the morning. A machete was reportedly seized. The police have not yet confirmed this.

Further details and the background of the crime are not clear. The investigation is in full swing.

Finally! Senate Investigates American Muslims for Palestine (AMP)

 Hat tip Campus Reform

Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-La.), chairman of the Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions (HELP) Committee, is investigating American Muslims for Palestine (AMP), an organization co-founded by UC Berkeley professor Hatem Bazian, who also happens to be the co-founder of Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP). The latter organization has been at the forefront of US university campus disruptions for several years now in the name of the anti-Israel, pro-Palestinian cause. AMP provides funding and other support for SJP's disruptive activities on numerous campuses. 

This is welcome news and long overdue. Campus Reform has the report, which I am cross-posting here.

 I hope they subpoena Bazian to testify under oath. If he commits perjury, they should refer it to DOJ for prosecution. 

It seems to me that when you have groups like AMP and SJP coordinating together across state lines around the country to disrupt university operations, take over buildings, commit vandalism, and deprive Jewish students of their rights to an education in a hostile-free environment, there are federal conspiracy laws being violated somewhere. It's not illegal to organize protests, but there is nothing legal about organizing the above-mentioned actions. 

In addition, both organizations have been linked to the Muslim Brotherhood (MB) and Hamas. The MB is not currently designated by the US as a terrorist organization, but they should be. Hamas is so designated.

Clearly, DOJ has a role to play here.

Curaçao: Additional Suspect Charged in 2021 Murder of Dutch Reporter Peter R. De Vries

Peter R. De Vries: The crime scene.

In July 2021, Dutch crime reporter Peter R. De Vries was murdered in Amsterdam. Several suspects involved in the killing have been convicted and sentenced to various terms of imprisonment. It is widely suspected by police that Moroccan Mafia (Mocro Maffia) leader, Raduan Taghi, ordered the killing.

Today, the news is just breaking in the Netherlands and Curaçao that an additional suspect, a 39-year-old man (not further identified) has been charged in connection with the murder. The man is currently incarcerated in Curaçao and has been in custody since 2014.

De Vries.

He is a 39-year-old man who has been incarcerated in Curaçao since 2014. There is suspicion that the man was in contact to help organize the death of De Vries, who lost his life in a murder in July 2021

Pro-Palestinian Chaos in Dutch Universities

RTL/ANP

It's not just here in America where the lower social orders are causing chaos and disruptions in our universities. In the Netherlands, the Hamas supporters occupied the administration building at the University of Amsterdam. In addition, protesters at Radboud University in Nijmegen have occupied a bridge on campus and vow not to leave until the university breaks ties with Israel.

Slogans scrawled

The occupation of Maagdenhuis is over, vandalism in building

Via RTL News  3 hours ago

An arrest and detention unit from the police and riot squad has ended the occupation by pro-Palestinian demonstrators. The University of Amsterdam (UvA) building has been occupied since 11 am by pro-Palestinian demonstrators. They have been taken out one by one, as seen by our reporter. Inside are all kinds of slogans written on the walls, as seen in the photo.

When the first demonstrators left the building accompanied by police, there was the sound of loud cheering and "you are not alone" from dozens of fellow demonstrators not far from the main entrance to the Spui (street in Amsterdam). Meanwhile, all the protesters have left the building. A police spokesperson says that these people, the exact number he does not know, are under arrest and have been taken to a detention center. Then they will be brought to court.

In the building, the administrative headquarters of the UvA, items were vandalized, walls were defaced, and barricades set up in front of doors, the reporter (observed). In an office, in black paint,  "Is the coffee still tasteful when you are supporting genocide?" was written. On other walls, among other things, were "Free Gaza" in red graffiti and UvA, cut off the ties now" in black. Furniture lay strewn around the building, displaced, on the floor, or stacked on top of each other.

According to a UvA spokesperson, a portion of the canteen has been plundered.

Sympathizers

Some of the fellow demonstrators who were showing their support for the occupiers of the university building, moved over to other buildings on the University of Amsterdam.  They went in the direction of the Oudemanhuisspoort and the Turfdraasterpad.

About 20 people had earlier left the building via a side door, reporters say. They were locked in by police, but it is unclear if they were subsequently arrested. A police spokesperson did not know where they were.

About 150 sympathizers who were outside chanted uninterrupted slogans, like "Free Palestine". They were kept at a distance by riot police. That led to disorder as seen in these images.

Pro-Palestinian students are also holding a protest at Radboud University in Nijmegen. They say they will not leave the bridge on the Erasmus Square on the campus that connects two university buildings before the university breaks ties with Israel.

It is not clear how many people are here.

Germany: Syrian Stabs Man to Death and Is Killed by Police

"Wir schaffen dass"

(We can do this)

It has happened again, and it will happen again and again. Yesterday in Berlin, a Syrian man, not further identified, got into a dispute with a German man on a subway. The Syrian stabbed the German fatally. After fleeing a short distance, he was stopped by police and shot as he came at them with the knife. On Sunday morning, the suspect died.

Berlin: A man dies from a knife attack. The alleged perpetrator flees, is shot by police, and dies in the hospital

The man who, on Saturday afternoon on a U-Bahn (subway) in Charlottenburg fatally wounded a 29-year-old man with a knife, has died. He was shot by a police officer after the attack. The 43-year-old succumbed to his wounds on Sunday morning in Virchow Clinic. Police and the Public Prosecutors' Office report. The victim was a German, the suspect a Syrian. No information is yet available as to the residence status of the 43-year-old.

"There are presently no indications that the 43-year-old Syrian citizen might have attacked the 29-year-old German citizen out of any Islamist-terrorist motives," police and the Public Prosecutor's Office explained. Both of the dead were reportedly known to police and the courts and had previously appeared in court for bodily injury crimes, resistance, and physical attacks on law enforcement officers, as well as violation of narcotic laws.

According to the investigation to date, the 43-year-old and the 29-year-old boarded the U12 (direction Warschauerstrasse) at the Kaiserdamm subway station around 4:15 pm. For some unknown reason, within seconds, an argument began between the two passengers, which led to shoves back and forth initiated by the 43-year-old. 

Police shoot knifeman on Schlossstrasse

After the act, the 43-year-old suspect took flight. He was stopped by two police officers on  Schlossstrasse-within walking distance of the Sophie-Charlotte-Platz subway station. He then reportedly approached the officers with the knife.

A police officer then fired several shots. At least three shots struck the suspect in the thigh, torso, and neck. The attacker was resuscitated at the scene before he was taken to a hospital. Despite an emergency operation, the 43-year-old died.

Subway traffic interrupted by investigation

For hours after the crime, police were in a large deployment around the Sophie-Charlotte-Platz. The entrance to the subway station of the same name was cordoned off with tape. Police forces were seen securing clues and evidentiary material. A few meters away, on the Schlossstrasse, the police also cordoned off an area where the suspect was shot by police.

Many people witnessed the operation. The subway station was closed. According to police and the Berlin-Brandenburg Traffic Association, U-12 traffic was interrupted. Emergency care was set up. 

 

The (Latest Disruption) at Princeton

Jews called "inbred swine" told to go back to Europe

I am cross-posting an excellent article by RAIR Foundation USA reporting on the latest disruption by Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) and others at Princeton University on April 7. A speaking event by former Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett was loudly disrupted both inside and outside by SJP and other activists until one of the disruptors pulled a fire alarm and ended the event. It appears that Princeton officials and campus police did virtually nothing to put a halt to the disruption, which also featured anti-Jewish slurs.

RAIR's report has it all, including photos, videos, and a letter sent to Princeton's president, Christopher Eisgruber, from Princeton Tigers for Israel and B'Artzeinu Princeton

Here is how the Daily Princetonian reported the incident.

This latest incident outlines the need for the Trump administration to continue and follow through on suspending government funding for universities like Princeton, who allow this disruption to take place without arrests, that allow anti-Jewish slurs to be hurled around, and that allow someone to set off a fire alarm that brings a halt to an event. Falsely setting off a fire alarm is a crime. As is usual, the university laments the incident and promises an investigation. Those investigations would be made a lot easier if campus police intervened and arrested those who go beyond legitimate protests and intentionally shut down events. 

In 2010, when then-Israeli ambassador to the US, Michael Oren's speech at the University of California at Irvine was disrupted (I was present) by the UCI Muslim Student Union, the disrupters were promptly removed by campus police and subsequently charged and convicted by the Orange County DA's Office. That is what should have happened at Princeton, particularly the individual identified as Sayel Kayed, who is shown in the videos standing up and disrupting Naftali's talk. Unlike the so-called Irvine 11, this individual was allowed to continue his rant for some time before he was removed. Why was he not arrested (not for speaking his opinion but for disorderly conduct or interfering with the free speech rights of others)?

To all you parents paying big bucks to Princeton for your kids' tuition, this is what you are paying for.

Portugal: Iraqi Asylum-Seeker Stones Police Station and Stabs Officer

O Minho

Today in Braga, Portugal, a man identified by police as a 28-year-old Iraqi asylum-seeker began throwing rocks into a local police station, apparently to lure officers outside. When a supervisor attempted to stop him, the man reportedly stabbed him with a large kitchen knife. The officer, fortunately, sustained only a superficial cut. The attacker was arrested and put into a cell.  

It appears that the motive for the attack was that in January, the Iraqi had submitted an asylum application at that same police station, and that the officer who was stabbed was the same officer who had received the application. Police are also investigating whether it was the same suspect who burned three cars in Braga the day before, one of which was a police vehicle.

The below article from CM Jornal (Pt) is translated by Fousesquawk   

This article from O Minho has several pictures of the damage caused. Note that the article also mistakenly identifies the suspect as an Iranian in the text, but also as an Iraqi in the text and the headline. I am assuming that the suspect is Iraqi.

Braga attacker ambushed police station in order to kill PSP (Public Safety Police) chief

The man took out a large knife and stabbed the policeman in the left side of the stomach

By Sergio A. Vitorino, journalist, and Fatima Vilaça, journalist

Updated 12 April 2025 at 12:33

A man stoned the facility of the 1st Police Station of the PSP, as well as a police vehicle in Braga on Saturday morning, in order to lure the PSP officers outside. He stabbed a supervisory operational chief who attempted to stop the vandalism-and who, by centimeters, escaped potentially fatal wounds. The attack was reportedly due to the fact that the police officer was recognized by the attacker as the officer who, on June 21, received the asylum application from the attacker, a 28-year-old Iraqi, in that same police station. There is an investigation as to whether the same (man) was the perpetrator of a fire on Friday that destroyed three vehicles, one of which was a police vehicle.

On Saturday morning, the man gathered several rocks into a bag and began to stone the police station (breaking the glass in the waiting room and two doors), as well as a PSP vehicle (breaking the windshield and the right front window). He also threw bottles inside the station. All to draw the police outside. The chief, who was acting as operational supervisor, on seeing the stoning and, by coincidence, leaving on a break, attempted to stop him. The attacker, on recognizing him from his asylum application (which the PSP forwarded on to AIMA*and had nothing further to do with), took out a large kitchen knife hidden in his backpack and stabbed the officer in the left side of his stomach. "Fortunately, and only by a few centimeters," a police source said, the cut was superficial. The officer was hospitalized and treated.

The attacker was arrested and put into the Braga police station cell, where he also reportedly caused damage.

The day before, an unmarked vehicle belonging to the 2nd PSP Station of Braga and two others, belonging to civilians, which were in the immediate vicinity of the first, were destroyed by arson, which is being investigated by the Judicial Police.

Pro-Palestinian (Stanford) Campus Disruptors Charged

                                

On June 5, 2024, several pro-Palestinian demonstrators broke into the office of the Stanford University president and occupied the building. Reportedly, they committed considerable damage while inside the building. Now, 12 demonstrators have been charged by the Santa Clara DA's Office with felonies for trespass and vandalism. All 12 are reportedly undergraduate and graduate students.

The Stanford Daily, (campus newspaper) has a report here.

Also appearing in the Stanford Daily in the Opinion section is a letter "from the Community", or more specifically, a group of Stanford faculty and alumni objecting to a letter sent to some 60 universities, including Stanford, from the Department of Education, Office of Civil Rights, warning them of potential enforcement actions and loss of federal funding if they fail to protect their Jewish students under Title 6 of the Civil Rights Act. I am only familiar with two of the signees, Joel Beinin and David Palumbo-Liu, both noted anti-Israel activists. The letter can be accessed here.

Sorry, all you Learned Professors, but no university, even a private university, is exempt from federal civil rights laws, especially when they have allowed their campuses to be taken over by anti-Israel mobs who engage in trespass, occupations, vandalism and other disruptions to the operations of the university, not to mention bullying of Jewish students and disruption of their events. None of that is covered by free speech.

The time for the Department of Education/OCR to get involved is long overdue. For over 2 decades, Jewish students on one campus after another, including Stanford, have been complaining about having to attend school in a hostile environment. Given the charges announced this week, the letter is laughable.

"Rather than protecting Jewish students, the federal government redefines anti-Semitism to include any criticism of Zionism. This is dangerous. Criticism of Israel’s ethnic cleansing and what human rights groups including Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch consider a genocide against the Palestinian people is not antisemitic. Punishing those who criticize Israel is not just illegal according to the principles of free speech and academic freedom — it is immoral and complicit in genocide denial. Considering Zionism a protected identity, rather than the political project it is, removes it from any scrutiny or questioning."

I don't know how many of the signees are Jewish, but before pontificating on what protects Jewish students and what does not, perhaps, the signees should talk to some of the Jewish students who have been victimized on campus as part of the anti-Zionist, anti-Israel, and yes, in my view, anti-Jewish wave of incidents.  

Instead, they continue to prattle on about "ethnic cleansing", genocide, and the false claim that the federal government (under Trump) is defining anti-Semitism to include any criticism of Israel. That is a canard. The Trump administration's position is in line with the definition set out by the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance. Here is their definition. It sets out where and how the state of Israel figures into anti-Semitism. 

 "Manifestations might include the targeting of the state of Israel, conceived as a Jewish collectivity. However, criticism of Israel similar to that leveled against any other country cannot be regarded as antisemitic."

In January of 2016, Palumbo-Liu participated in a panel on free speech at UC Irvine, which I attended. At that time, he said that the US State Department's definition of anti-Semitism (which was similar to that of the IHRA) defined any criticism of Israel as anti-Semitic. Here is the DOS definition adopted in 2010 that Palumbo-Liu was referring to. In May of 2016, the DOS adopted the IHRA definition. (Note that in the above link to the January 2016 panel, there is a link to the State Department's definition, which erroneously goes to a different DOS report.)

It comes down to this: No university has a God-given right to federal funding, particularly when they are failing to protect the rights of all their students and protect them from discrimination or violence on campus. As the DOE letter to the universities states:

"The Department’s OCR sent these letters under its authority to enforce Title VI of the Civil Rights Act (1964), which prohibits any institution that receives federal funds from discriminating on the basis of race, color, and national origin. National origin includes shared (Jewish) ancestry." 

Spain: One Fine Day in a Spanish Jail

Spanish police have announced that charges have been filed against a Moroccan prisoner who was planning to carry out a jihadist attack in Spain upon his release from prison. The suspect, who is not named, was serving time in prison for common crimes and was nearing his release date.

A jihadist prisoner who wanted to carry out an attack in Spain is arrested

Was preparing to physically enlist in a combat zone

Caption: Interior of a module at the Central Penitentiary at Soria

-By Juan Jose Fernandez

Madrid, April 10, 2025 at 17:17, Updated April 10, 2025 at 18:04

Agents of the General Intelligence Committee of the National Police have detained a prisoner at the Central Penitentiary of Soria, a radical Islamist, who had admitted in front of his friends his intention to attack Spain upon his release from prison.

The case is being investigated by General Investigative Court 3 of the National Court. The arrest occurred on Wednesday and was confirmed 24 hours later by the police. The prisoner had been under observation since last October and was showing signs of fanaticism. The police are accusing him of the crimes of terrorist self-indoctrination and self-training. He was also proselytizing with other prisoners to recruit them into jihadism.

The detention was carried out as the prisoner was close to completing a sentence that had landed him in jail for common crimes. Surveillance by the groups of control and monitoring of the penal institutions played a key part in the monitoring of his activities of radicalization, of which he began to provide evidence at the Penitentiary Center of Alcala de Henares, where he had been in custody (since) last fall.

Slogans and exercises

The police consider the jihadist activity of the prisoner "intense" and reported on Wednesday that he had converted his way of life in prison following the precepts of the Islamic State and barely concealed (his) religious radicalism. Among other prisoners, the inmate, of Moroccan origin, often recited nasheed jihadist (slogans and chanted verses) from the propaganda apparatus of that multinational terrorist (organization). 

His preparation for jihad was not just a fundamentalist practice of the faith: He also carried out physical training. In his module, he said that he was preparing to move to some war zone to join the ranks of ISIS as a mujahid.

It was in these confidential (discussions), presenting himself as a warrior ready to act, that he said he was ready to attack in Spain. More concrete plans, (such as) the when and where of his plans, were not revealed by the police operation.

If the court confirms the (facts) of the investigation carried out by police and prison guards, the sentence for this prisoner will increase between 3 to 6 years.

The Toxicity of Amir Abdel Malik Ali and Abdul Alim Musa

Hat tip Memri TV and Deb

This article first appeared in Times of Israel Blogs

Amir Abdel Malik Ali speaking at UC Irvine

Oakland-based imam, Amir Abdel Malik Ali, who has made a career speaking at California universities, spreading his hate for Israel and Jews in general, spoke last September at UC Berkeley as a guest of the Muslim Student Association. As is his wont, his words were full of threats as he predicted that a new Muslim caliphate would be born, hopefully, according to him, in Gaza. His rant at UCB has been documented and reported by Memri TV. He even praised Ismail Haniyeh, the head of Hamas, who was killed by Israel last year in the aftermath of the horrendous October 7, 2023 attack against innocent Israeli civilians and the resultant war between Israel and Hamas. 

Note the constant references to martyrdom spoken by Ali. That is a persistent theme in his speeches. He talks about Muslims fighting and dying for the cause of Islam and Palestine. Yet we don't see him going over to the Middle East to join the jihad. He preaches jihad and martyrdom from the comfort of his Oakland mosque and university lecture halls. In addition, he delights in calling various individuals "Zionist Jews", literally spitting out the words.

Note in the Memri TV report that Ali is a member of the As-Sabiqun group of Muslims, founded by another radical imam, Abdul Alim Musa, a real loon full of conspiracy theories and hate for America, Israel, and Jews. Almost 20 years ago by sheer accident, I happened to catch the tail end of a speech he was giving at UC Irvine  (where I was teaching at the time). After his speech concluded, I called him an idiot, and it was this experience that led me to become an activist standing up to Jew haters and America haters on our campus. Subsequently, I attended many speeches by Ali at UC Irvine and interacted with him both during and after the Q and A. 

Amir Abdel Malik Ali (r) and I at UC Irvine in December 2009

In spite of their relationship in As-Sabiqun, there is a vast difference between Musa and Ali. Musa is a complete buffoon, a clown, a court jester, if you will. You see it as soon as he opens his mouth. His original name was Clarence Reams. He came out of Arkansas and served prison time for drug trafficking after years on the run in places like Algeria. It was in prison that he converted to Islam so he could find new enemies to blame for his failed life. In addition, he is a supporter of the mullah regime in Iran. On one occasion, he was interviewed by Iran's Press TV. Watching the video, I had the impression that even his Iranian interviewers could tell he was a nutjob. 

Abdul Alim Musa (center)

Ali, on the other hand, is not a buffoon, though, like Musa, he believes in wild conspiracies. Ali is educated, having been student body president at San Francisco State University. His original name was Derek Gilliam, which was changed when he converted to Islam. He is a charismatic and captivating speaker, which makes him more dangerous. One-on-one, he lowers his tone and becomes more respectful. On one occasion at UC Irvine, his talk was centered around the need to avoid drugs. Yet, one of the reasons he gave was that Muslims needed to maintain their minds "for the struggle" (read jihad). I have often felt that he has wasted a sharp mind on a twisted cause. He is an anti-Semite, and I have told him that to his face. But he is no idiot, as is Ali.

The Muslim Student Association chapters (at UC Irvine, it is the Muslim Student Union) that have invited Ali and Musa to speak on their campuses have shown their true colors. Their styles are different, but their beliefs are the same. It has been years since I saw either one speak in person, but they are still around. It is sad to see how they poison the minds of young people to hate their own country, to hate Jews, to believe in some twisted version of martyrdom, enjoining others to join the jihad to destroy Israel and establish some sort of caliphate. On one occasion, while speaking at UC Irvine, Ali said something to his mostly-Muslim audience that I took away and have never forgotten.

"Islam is coming. Islam is coming."

I want to say this carefully because I am not advocating violence or deprivation of civil rights against anyone, especially innocent, peaceful Muslims. But I'm afraid Ali is right. We should take that seriously. It is something that we in the West must strongly resist, especially the hateful As-Sabiqun vision as expressed by Amir Abdel Malik Ali and Abdul Alim Musa.

Attack on Turning Point USA by Leftist Thugs at UC Davis

                               

The University of California at Davis has had its share of problems in recent years, much of it having to do with pro-Palestinian agitation, swastikas on buildings, and BDS resolutions by its student government. On April 3, Turning Point USA, the conservative organization established by Charlie Kirk, which focuses largely on campus free speech issues, set up an information table and tent on the UCD campus. Predictably, a group of leftist radical thugs-in masks, of course- descended on the TPUSA table and proceeded to rip things up as a handful of campus cops watched in amazement. TPUSA's own videos of the incident can be viewed here. and here. Not surprisingly, there were zero arrests.

Chancellor Gary May came out with a template statement, similar if not identical to statements made by so many other university presidents as their campuses are being ransacked. Zero tolerance, but zero arrests.  Here is the official campus statement. 

And here is how the campus newspaper, The Aggie, reported it, predictably attempting to stay neutral even though it was obvious who started things. Of course, campus newspapers never want to upset the little rascals. "Physical altercations".

Enough. It is time for the Trump administration to do what it has done with Harvard and a few other schools- halt federal funding to UCD.
