An anti-Israel protester, who was part of a group that took over a building on the campus of Columbia University, complained about a police raid and asked to “go home.”
Students who had taken part in an anti-Israel encampment seized control of Hamilton Hall on Tuesday morning and could be heard complaining that NYPD officers would not allow them to leave when the academic building was raided by police that evening.
Anti-Israel protesters carried barricades into the building, smashed the glass doors of the building, and hung pro-Palestinian banners from the windows.
“They just barricaded us in,” one protester could be heard saying.
Another could be heard responding, “Oh my f***ing God. No f***ing way. F**k you, it’s finals. Can I go home?”
