Last of the protesters removed from Columbia's John Jay building.
Some tried to escape through the same doors they worked so hard at barricading last night.
Now they're all on NYPD buses heading for jail.
No sign yet of the professional organizers and WoL leaders who were seen yesterday during the building take over.
They left the students to take the rap.
NYPD lays out charges: “For the individuals that are inside the Hamilton Hall building, [they’ll be] charged with burglary in the third degree, criminal mischief and trespassing. The individuals that are on campus outside, they will be charged with trespassing and disorderly conduct”
Per a memo from Columbia, students who took over Hamilton Hall are now facing expulsion.
This woman seen last night at Columbia is 63yr old Lisa Fithian. She is a long time professional agitator and organizer with a penchant for Jew hate.
She was seen on video directing the protesters invading the building and blocking the doors.
She has not been arrested (yet). She has no business on any campus. NYPD is aware of her presence on campus last night and may be issuing a warrant for her arrest for trespassing.
Her Wiki doesn't mention her involvement in the MV Mavi Marmara incident in 2010 that left 10 dead and 20 injured.
To deliver two pallets of bottled water to Gaza.
She was a "trainer" who did not board the ship, instead she flew home to Austin, Texas. Where she lives.
Which raises the question: Why was she at the Columbia protest in NYC and not at the University of Texas protest in Austin?
@Render her flying broom ran out of gas?
someone put a rock on top of her casket?
@Render: She looks like she's been at this a while.
@Render I’ve known Lisa for more than 2 decades, have worked with her many times. You are wrong about her.
@Render she's an activist and "protest consultant" and "professional agitator" according to her wikipedia article
