I would love to know what is so atrocious at New School they feel the need to overtake the building. Seriously? Still doesn't excuse NYU.

Okay New School kids, I understand you're upset, but no one is taking you seriously anymore. http://moourl.com/4wxl4

Another revolution at the New School is apparently underway. I am feeling not revolutionary today so they better finish up soon.

The college brats "occupying" a New School building got their heads swiftly beat in by the NYPD. I hope this protesting trend dies off soon.

This gal talster was especially offended (and offensive). She kept her rants up while many tweeted, retweeted and moved on. (And get this, she's not some crotchety geezer shaking a cane at them youngins. Check her out here http://twitter.com/talster.) Here's more of what she said:
#NSIE you broke into a bldg,took down a cleaner&a security guard, hurt a policeman and NOW youre crying that they used mace?! gimme a break!Given the current state of affairs in this country, and in this city, especially, I'm surprised that there are still folks who take up these rather negative attitudes. I'm just impressed that the young protesters care enough about their cause to unstrap their wrists from the keyboard and pry their bottoms from chairs long enough to hit the streets (or take over a building). But that's my take on things.

But this is just such a stupid cause. They are not protesting against inept and corrupt city leadership, or a 30% increase in metro costs, or the way minorities are treated by police.
Not having faith in the leadership of a school president is not the vietnam war. Their should be a very high threshold of injustice before you start to taking over buildings. And with all these other terrible things happening in the nation and our city, these kids with their militant cause come across as spoiled and provincial.
I am with the haters on this one.
Hey Joel,
Yeah, you're not the only one. (Obviously.) And I can see what people are saying. There are definitely worthier causes to stand up for. But it's a shocker to me that people would belittle other people's actions to right frustrations (as long no one gets killed). Though I know these comments come from just a few people, I believe they reflect a wider culture of apathy, annoyance and selfishness. It doesn't give me much hope for support of issues that really do matter...
