Campus Protests part 2

Last night, the NYPD were finally allowed to enter Columbia U campus to disperse the protestors and arrest the people who had broken into and barricaded the campus admin building. Most of the students involved will be suspended, with those involved in the burglary being expelled. These academic repercussions should be the least severe they face, but it is not my call. Many of the people spoken to by reporters on scene last night complained that their first amendment rights to protest were being taken away. This is not so. They still have the right to assemble and to petition for government to address their grievances. When people set up camp and disrupted normal campus operations, especially if the reports of people being harassed for their religion was true, common sense would have been for the true protestors to disperse and allow for the agitators and activists to be removed before they resumed exercising their constitutional rights. Your first amendment rights do not trump other people rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Any non-student actors, especially anyone already known to police, should be arrested and charged with terrorism. The charges can always be dropped or revised, but it would allow the authorities to hold these people long enough for a thorough investigation. I believe they could find people who had travelled to or from Gaza, Iran, and Lebanon and received money from groups known to be connected to international terror financing. Of course, this is the liberal, democrat NY Attorney's office. They would not want to cause their friends (Soros, Biden, et al) any trouble. They are too busy cooking up more bogus charges to keep their political opponents off of the electoral ballots.
