Well this hardly seems fair. Why the subterfuge? Why not just say YOU'RE FIRED?

CNN reporting a heightened police presence, and that Mayor Adams asked student parents to call their kids and ask them to get out before whatever is going to go down goes down. Paraphrasing, since I'm eating dinner and too lazy to look for a link

The University of South Florida looks like a war zone.

#Tampa | #Florida
Currently, numerous Florida law enforcement officers equipped in riot gear at the University of South Florida in Tampa are deploying multiple rounds of tear gas and rubber bullets towards a group of pro-Palestinian protesters, minutes after instructing them to leave the area and declaring an unlawful assembly. Reports indicate that dozens of students were seen using umbrellas as shields on the Tampa campus as they stood in a circle with their arms locked; the majority of the students ran off, but several arrests have also been made
#UPDATE: Additional footage shows a bird eyes view as aerial video taken by WFLA News Helicopter, revealing multiple rounds of tear gas being deployed at the University of South Florida in Tampa as protesters and students fled the scene

Columbia students ordered to shelter in place. Faculty and journalists locked out. NYPD is about to crack some heads.

Anyone who’s following this more closely than I can: Has the “leadership” of any of these schools showed their faces to help de-escalate? Or stayed holed up in their ivory towers?

Other leaders and schools have found a safe, de-escalatory path. This is the opposite of leadership and endangers public safety. A nightmare in the making.
I urge the Mayor to reverse course.katie honan @katie_honan wrote: NEW - @NYCMayor says Columbia protest has been "co-opted" and is going to share their intel, he says at 1 Police Plaza. He advises students involved in the protest to leave the area and tells parents to tell their kids to leave "before the situation escalates."

Those protesters must be very scary…
Which is why Anders will support them being shot.
Because using a gun takes away every fear.
