A Columbia University student spoke to Al Jazeera’s correspondent Teresa Bo outside the campus about the events that led to the latest police incursion. “A lot of students went into Hamilton Hall yesterday and occupied and [renamed] it as Hind’s Hall,” said the student who did not want to be identified by name.

@anikaparker1077 Месяц назад

You are wrong. Let me say it again. "The First Amendment protects us against government limits on our freedom of expression, but it doesn't prevent a private employer" or a private school from setting its own rules. The 1st amendment doesn't give anyone the right to unlawfully occupy private property. And it most certainly doesn't give anyone the right to destroy property, private or government. I think you, fundamentally, misunderstand what the 1st amendment covers.

@JordanKahele Месяц назад

Let me, add something else here in the discussion as far as the word, 'retaliation' is a concern. Yet a civilized nation, acknowledge retaliation as a sternest feature of war. Retaliation will, therefore, never be resorted to a measure of mere revenge, only as a means of protective 'retribution'.
