[...] About 50 students have taken over building Campbell Hall, where they have chained the doors shut and are wearing intimidating bandanas. Naturally, hundreds more (representing various UC campuses) have joined them outside the building, with picket signs and even more bandanas. Hm, this all sounds so familiar. [...]

“Cluster bombs, banned by countries in international treaties, subject to condemnation by Obama”

Is there anything useful or productive that Obama hasn’t condemned?

In point of fact, cluster bombs are more useful, less destructive, and more humane than single-ordnance bombs or MOABs. With a single-ordnance bomb the kill radius has a linear fall-off, meaning for greater kill radius you must massively increase the destruction at the epicenter. Cluster bombs disperse smaller packets of ordnance over a wider radius, requiring a smaller overall payload deliverance. They also do less damage to infrastructure.

The ‘ban cluster bombs’ campaign is outdated. The outrage over cluster bombs was that supposedly the bomblets could remain, undetected, and explode on some innocent person at a later date. But that was only true ages ago. New cluster bombs have killswitches that engage or disarm them after timeouts. This idiotic name-check campaign is almost as dumb as the ‘ban landmines’ idea. Try holding a position in enemy territory without landmines, then get back to me.

I’m not surprised that a bunch of hippies don’t understand military technology, any more than I will be surprised when I get the standard nutroot reply about ‘hugging a child with nuclear arms’ or similar nonsense. War exists, and believe me you want to survive it.

A. Harris,

I am with you. This is a complete embarrassment to the entire NYU community. I watched the video of the original students occupying Kimmel and recognized one of the students involved. She is currently not suspended. I have seen her attending classes and at other NYU events. I am sure it is her because I previously met her. Everyone involved, whether they left Kimmel or occupied it until the end should have to face the consequences.

I always thought the Kent State tragedy in 1970 was horrible and I could never understand how the National Guard could have shot those kids. Now I know.

After seeing those whiny self-righteous TBNYU jerks up there on the balcony demanding that vegan catering be brought in, I wanted to shoot them myself.

If they want to do something for Gaza, maybe they should drop out of school and send Mummy and Daddy’s money over there for relief?

It’s amazing to me that these idiots weren’t expelled.

My only thought is that the administration is filled with misty-eyed ex-hippies who want to believe that there little creeps are re-birthing the sixties.
