If this doesn't tell you everything you need to know about the riots and unrest on campus, I don't know what will.
A couple of weeks ago, students were occupying part of the campus of Emerson College in Boston. The administration at Emerson decided to call the cops to clear out the tents and the rioters.
The police encountered resistance and began arresting the trespassers. This made the college mad for some reason, and their president sent employees to jail to bail out the protesters.
Emerson College President Jay Bernhardt appeared to apologize for the arrests of anti-Israel campus occupiers in late April and said that staff members were sent to bail students out of jail.
According to Boston.com, 118 students were arrested during an anti-Israel encampment on the Emerson College campus during the early morning hours of April 25. They were charged with trespassing and disturbing the peace.
Bernhardt called the cops on the protesters and when the cops did their jobs he clutched his pearls and felt guilty about the whole thing and apologized to the trespassers before paying their bail.
Talk about playing both sides of the conflict!!
'We know that the events of that night were, and are, emotionally overwhelming for our entire community, especially for the students present at the protest and the staff and faculty who were on site to provide support,' said Bernhardt. 'Emerson has continued to be supportive in multiple ways - sending staff to all the precincts and posting bail for arrested students, canceling and modifying classes so our community could process what had occurred, and providing additional care and support for our community to heal.'
I think the college administrators are worse than the protesters. At least the protesters stand for something, even if it's wrong/evil. The admins are just trying to have their cake and eat it too by paying lip service to leftism while keeping the status quo.
Additionally, the college won't bring campus disciplinary charges against the protesters related to the encampment and asked the district attorney not to pursue charges. Emerson College will also provide housing to out-of-town students who need to come back to Boston for court appearances.
What a bunch of privileged dorks. This civil war is amazing to watch.
The school won't press charges, but the DA might still because it's illegal to set up these kinds of encampments in Boston.
Believe it or not, Boston's woke mayor isn't backing down and is defending the police.
She said that the protesters were violating an ordinance filed and passed in 2023 which 'prohibits any person from camping or maintaining campsite materials on any public property or in a public right of way.'
'We cannot say to unhoused residents, you have to comply with this ordinance that is on the books for health and safety, but if you are a student or if you are for a cause that we agree with, then we're going to look the other way,' said Wu.
Too bad the college can't just let their woke, privileged, anti-Israel students experience the consequences of their actions.
