A pro-Hamas demonstration popped up in Jackson Square in New Orleans on Sunday. It didn’t last long. About three dozen protesters rallied at the historic spot in the French Quarter and set up an encampment of 10 green tents on the lawn around the statue of Andrew Jackson. Green tents, eh? It sounds like the […]
I remember the first time I saw leftist protesters snarling traffic. The cause of the moment was climate, I believe, and the bright-minded activists decided to protest the use of fossil fuels by causing tens of thousands of cars (and buses) to idle on the highway. It was an early Monday morning and organized squads […]
One California university has shut down its campus and shunted all classes online for the rest of the spring term due to protesters who have occupied multiple college buildings. California State Polytechnic University, Humboldt’s actions come amid campus protests that have damaged universities and their reputations from Columbia to USC. On Friday, the Northern California […]
Four women officers with the Seattle police department have filed a lawsuit accusing the police chief and the head of the public affairs department of sexual harassment and creating a hostile work environment. The four plaintiffs have all, at one point, been “front-facing” officers involved in recruiting and media relations, but now paint a darker […]
As a neophyte graduate student in history in the late 1990s, I once asked a veteran professor how he managed to focus on grad school during the campus protests of the Vietnam Era. “Easy,” he replied. “You went to the library.” In other words, the protesters might take themselves seriously, but that does not oblige […]
The teenage daughter of a high-tech billionaire goes missing, and one’s thoughts go to the possibility of abduction or kidnapping for ransom.

Sixteen-year-old Mint Butterfield was reported missing Monday, The San Francisco Standard reported. […]
One wonders if left-wing, uber-progressive college students protesting an “oppressive” regime half a planet away would last a day under the true tyranny of an Islamic regime. Among groups like Hamas, in countries like Iran, much of what these radical leftist activists have supported just as wholeheartedly as protesting against Israel would get them killed […]
The pro-Hamas protests in New York City have long since gone off the rails and become completely out of control. But one of the latest incidents to come to light demonstrates how these are no longer “protests” in the traditional sense of the word. The antisemitic agitators are in full riot mode and need to […]
Two off-duty New York Police Department officers were arrested on Tuesday morning and slapped with several sexual abuse charges for allegedly raping an extremely drunk woman in the Bronx last summer. Julio Alcantara-Santiago, 40, and Christian Garcia, 32, were charged with first-degree criminal sexual act, first-degree and third-degree sexual abuse, sexual misconduct and forcible touching […]
Students at the University of Southern California set up a tent camp Wednesday to emulate the protest taking place at Columbia and other schools.
