Yale Students Cheer Wildly and Chant ‘Viva Viva Palestina!’ as American Flag is Lowered on Campus
“More than 25 police officers were on the scene over the day but did not make arrests”
This is just insane. We have a serious problem in this country, and it’s in almost all of our elite schools.
Look at this.
A mob of Yale students shout "VIVA VIVA PALESTINA" as they tear down an American flag on campus, cheering when it hits the floor.

The Yale Daily News reports:
Pro-divestment protesters stay overnight on Beinecke Plaza, no arrests
More than 400 people gathered on Beinecke Plaza on Friday to oppose Yale’s investments in military weapons manufacturers. Protesters set up tents on the Plaza and remained there overnight.
More than 25 police officers were on the scene over the day but did not make arrests, though one individual was detained.
The demonstration was timed to concur with University President Peter Salovey’s send-off party at the Schwarzman Center. Attendees at the party included at least eight members of the Yale Corporation — the University’s highest governing body — as well as current and former University administrators. Yale announced on Wednesday that it would not divest from military weapons manufacturers, a decision that came on the heels of months of pro-divestment campaigning from various students and organizations.
Dean of Yale College Pericles Lewis told the News on Friday night that he had promised the protest’s student leaders that he would meet with them if they pack up their tents. An organizer told the News they had responded to the administration’s offer and would only consider dispersing if they were granted an open meeting with the Corporation Committee on Investor Responsibility, which recommends investment policy to the full Corporation.
“We are tired of the Trustees hiding behind administrators and advisory committees,” a student wrote to the News on behalf of organizers. “We would only begin to consider dispersal if the trustees themselves agreed to face us.”

When did the students, I use the word loosely, become the ones in charge.
I will be happy to contribute to fund one-way tickets for these nihilists to Gaza City where they can enjoy their preferred life provided that they stay over there for at least 10 years.
Meanwhile, Saturday night at a similar demonstration at Yale, A reporter for a campus paper was surrounded by demonstrators when they noticed her Hasidic clothing. One of them, then stuck a Palestinian flag in her face and poked her in the eye with the flagpole. When she tried to pursue him, the other demonstrators formed a line and blocked her. She complained to the police, who told her there was nothing they could do.
This isn’t anything new. The police stood by during crystal night. They follow orders.
Yale, it is time for you to throw out your trash!
the violence from the left is their calling card
fjb and crew are doing everything they can to make sure their calls are answered
The National Anthem of the United States ends with a very good question.
