Things just took an interesting turn. These youngsters seem to not understand the power of the government.

Is Hamilton Hall a government building?
No, it's a building with a history when it comes to civil disobedience. It was occupied in 1968 when students protested the Vietnam war.
From BlueSky: According to the Columbia wiki, Hamilton Hall was blockaded or taken over by protesters in 1968, 1969, 1972, 1985, 1987, 1992, and 1996.
Nice. I only knew about the 1968 one. I read about it somewhere. I want to say maybe a Hunter S. Thompson book?
I know - people in certain circles are treating this as equivalent to the storming of the Capitol.
Lol. It's not the same thing. Those people don't care about higher learning.
Those are circles of utter fucking morons, let's not kid ourselves.
lol no I had University Writing and Discrete Math there.
