'That's the only way you can get around'

The late spring breeze brings with it warmer temperatures and with it, now that Donald Trump is back in office, the promise of a return to Riot Season. Kicking us off, a violent pro-Hamas protest at Columbia University that the Legacy Media barely covered. Watch the entirety of the sole report airing on this matter on the legacies: this brief on NBC Nightly News: LESTER HOLT: Now to protests at Columbia University, where scuffles broke out on campus. Emilie Ikeda is there. Emilie, a tense day on campus at the library. EMILIE IKEDA: Yeah, Lester, that's right. Those demonstrations flooding the main library at Columbia University just ahead of finals. Video showing clashes between the campus security and pro-Palestinian protesters as they were trying to leave and enter the building. Columbia University said that any protester who refused to show their identification and then dispersed could face possible arrest. This all comes amid the Trump administration's crackdown on what they call harassment of Jewish-American students, cutting hundreds of millions of dollars in federal funding to the school. These protests, an apparent attempt to restart the sweeping movements we saw take over college campuses this time last year, Lester. HOLT: Emilie Ikeda in New York tonight. Thank you. NBC were the only ones to report on the Columbia protest, as was the case yesterday with the “Little Devils of 42nd Street”. And again, these 55 or so seconds given the story by NBC were met with absolute goose eggs from ABC and CBS.  Even so, there was plenty to absorb from this report. The line “this all comes amid the Trump administration's crackdown on what they call harassment of Jewish-American students”, which we emphasized in the transcript, downplaying the violence and terror inflicted upon Jewish students is eye-popping. It wasn’t just the Trump Administration calling out the harassment of Jewish students- it was Jewish students themselves, either barred from entry into college facilities or terrorized into staying away from occupied areas. Likewise, Ikeda’s deceptive language when describing the protests. They weren’t “flooding” the main library at Columbia, but occupying it. Again, downplaying the degree of coercive force deployed by the protesters. Per The New York Post: A mob of masked anti-Israel protesters stormed Columbia University’s Butler Library Wednesday — with the chaos injuring at least two school safety officers and later sparking dozens of arrests, officials and law enforcement sources said. Around 80 agitators were taken into custody so far Wednesday evening, sources said, just hours after a large group of activists were caught on camera shoving past a security guard at the library’s front entrance earlier in the day. Once inside, they draped large signs over bookshelves, one declaring the library a “liberated zone” and another bearing the name of Bassel al-Araj, a Palestinian activist killed by Israel Defense Forces in a 2017 raid in the West Bank — though they misspelled his first name as “Basel. To be clear, this was a violent occupation, which eventually spilled over into the streets.

(@ScooterCasterNY) May 8, 2025 Ikeda wishcasting for a return of the Summer of Violence was the cherry on top of this fetid sundae. With Trump back in office some in media are already pining for color revolution, and not even bothering to hide it anymore. Exit question: where's Mohsen Mahdawi?
