No, we are not "there": it is not 1968 not even close. My understanding is the NY Police Department entered the second floor window at the Columbia Building quietly & made tens of arrests. No tear gas no billy club beatings, no fire hoses, no perp walks, no false "illegal assembly" declarations like the my last UCLA Regents meeting with 'Ronny' Reagan.
So let's get some real data: such as the names of each person arrested for appearance in NY Criminal Court. You know case NUMBERS. Once the Court has verified personal information, we will know whether any of those arrested are"Bolsheviks" or more like what the NY Police Department has been alleging --- that the students were infiltrated not by the post WW1 Russian Bolsheviks but, more like the 1904 Russian Anarchists specifically known to the NYPD. "Call out the [serial] Instigators ...".
These are factual issues not BS. Facts that can be determined in any NY criminal Court. Trust a NY Judge like Merchan is assigned to these cases.
Thank you. Seeing 1968 -- specifically what went down at the Democratic Convention in Chicago -- in every current protest is very like seeing Commies under every bed, and it likewise leads to very sloppy politics. The revisionism about the student strike in 1970 is particularly galling, because I helped organize it at my school (Georgetown U., for the record) and can testify that virtually none of the organizers had anything to do with the Weather Underground or any other fringe group. I can also testify that the response of the police and the college administration couldn't have been better planned to make a tense situation worse.
