Those tiki torch Nazis should have their next shindig on the Upper West Side. They’d certainly be welcome at Columbia University and with Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg. Just throw on some keffiyehs and do your thing. No one will know the difference.
This week, Bragg dropped all charges against more than two dozen pro-Hamas rioters who “occupied” and trashed Hamilton Hall. Now, please imagine the reaction of the media if a mob of white supremacists had occupied and trashed a building at a Southern University after weeks of targeting black students. The event would be forever etched into national consciousness. The five-part PBS documentary delving into the trauma would sweep the Emmys.
Here, in the non-theoretical world, white supremacists are largely irrelevant, fringe attention-seekers, while Columbia’s pro-Hamas midwits will be headed to prestigious law firms, teaching in major school systems, writing for major newspapers, working in the State Department, and serving in Congress.
And the DA worked from the start to let the rioters (not “protestors”) that occupied Hamilton Hall — some students, some not — off the hook. The incident occurred after gutless administrators at Columbia University finally requested cops clear out an “encampment” that had shut down the campus and forced thousands of students to attend school remotely.
First, Bragg charged 46 of them with trespassing in the third degree, a class B misdemeanor, but subsequently let 31 completely off the hook. Then he offered to let 14 of the remaining trespassers walk if they avoided being arrested again
