It's really a shame because that lawn was the first lawn in it's family to go to Columbia University.
Lol
😂😂😂
Any news from not tsi Ukraine?
NBC News New York is basically Newsmax. Where is their coverage of a genocide?
😅👏👏✌️
Grass Lives Matter.
Lol
Lmfao
WoW😂
Hank Hill approves this message!
At least grass isn't going to commit crimes Like the others 😂
With their endowment being only $13 Billion, how will they ever recover?
If they spend $100,000 on redoing that grass that would only leave them
with twelve billion nine hundred ninety-nine million nine hundred thousand.
They better call some more alumni for contributions.
Or maybe they could raise tuition faster than the rate of inflation. Oops, they're already doing that.
@@conhopper418 isn't the average interest return on Trump's half billion debt like 100+k a day? So with 26 times that.... It takes about 1 hour of waiting to pay for a new lawn if it cost 100k
So you're trying to justify rioters ruining their property because they have money?
@@conhopper418 Or, they could get crazy and fire the 80% of their administrators that don't do anything but busy work. They're all, as we say in lean, non-value added positions
That doesn’t cover dims being dims.
They could fix that lawn with one students tuition
Ha. Have you put in a lawn lately? The cost is astronomical.
an even better idea would be to stop paying Israel and use some of the money for this instead
@@cvn6555 so are tuitions
You can't legally trespass a paying customer without judges order. It's what a eviction is.
@@cvn6555 so $66,000 dollars won't do it?
Won't someone please think of the grass's life

Lawn Lives Matter.
The lawn has a right to defend itself from innocent men, woman and children
Lawn enforcement needs to take action.
They need to weed this out before it takes root
@@ggggloveking9419 Only seedy people would do such a grass act
Their behavior only fertilizes and seeds future animosity towards future grassroots movements. Likely paid for by hedge funds who won't directly get their own hands dirty..... Soil
They’re being behind the bush eh?
Someone call GPS quick! (grass protection services) 🤣😂
😂🤣hilarious
The patches of lawn were carefully targeted in respect with international law.
The insurrectionist should be jailed indefinitely
The groundskeepers are pissed 😂
I sure as hell would be.
But it keeps them employed 🤭
@@mac1bc Yeah, because normal wear and tear NEVER actually happens.
Yea like they care
Ion know why, but this 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣I see the groundskeepers🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😭just shakin their heads, fumin'🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😂🤣🤣🤣😭😭😭😭😭😭😭🤣🤣🤣🤣
That lawns gonna take billions to repair
I’m dying this could possibly be true
33K thousand dead in Gaza, but the real crime is that effing lawn.
@@honkyjesuseternaland climate change is totally bs.

@@honkyjesuseternal make it 2.7 million and we'll be okay bruh. stay lit fam, it gets better.
Remember, these people care about the environment.
I don’t think they claimed anything about the environment, just that they were against Israel’s slaughter of innocents and destruction of an entire nation
I find it hilarious when fundamentalists claim everyone who protests shit that they dont like all believe in the exact same things. Ridiculous.
But they realize we are getting robbed from the zionist
The protest had nothing to do with the environment, and even if it did, wtf is your point?
@@nunliski they're exactly the same people protesting oil and stopping traffic.
There's probably human excrement behind those tent impressions.
"Wwatching paint dry" is getting jealous lol
Oh no! Not the lawn!
Hank Hill will not appreciate this!
My lawns!
OH WON'T SOMEBODY PLEASE THINK OF THE GRASS!!1!
Mind Begs the Question:
- If policies of Starvation,Death Camps,Gassing/White Phosphorus,Pogroms,Ethnic Cleansing,etc are repeated
- Doesn't amount to Holocaust?
Lol be quiet
@@HumanBeingsRThinkingBeings Nope.
Liberal Ideology 🙄
Leftists & Hypocrisy? Classic combo.
Could this feature be any more shallow if it tried?
Nope. lol
I commented elsewhere, but my take was that this stinks of a producer who already got the chopper time approved. This is how flexible policies get eliminated...😂
@@tugmeboat
Yeah, yeah, and like the commies they are they censor anything that doesn't make them have the feel goods. Ahats
@@tugmeboat
Commies just deleted my remark.
@@tugmeboat
Lamestream media at its worst. Can't handle the truth. They spew lies continuously.
These entitled people destroy everything they touch.
How dare people do a civil rights thing and use their first amendment rights.
It might hurt some grass.
Yes, the IDF is literally destroying everything in Gaza. What were you saying about grass?
Imagine being more triggered by some damaged lawn than by kids being bombed
your entitled because your crying seeing someone excerise there basic rights.
Who cares. It’s New York, it’s not like liberals could destroy it anymore than they already have
All those who camped there and protested there should be charged to fix that grass! Grass lives matter!
It's grass. The roots are fine and that shit will grow back for free.
Oh no, dead grass. 🤦♂️
😂🤣 hilarious
They will just charge everyone arrested a portion of it, should have cleaned up after themselves, yet they never do. Lol
@@donut3946 lmao its dead grass from things sitting on it, nothing to clean up?
@@williamj9413 now it is, groundskeeper will have to come in and reseed and relevel. Ps this pic is after the trash removal. Lol
Not the grass. The horror 😩
Harvey Weinstein is FREE 🇮🇱
Worried about the lawn huh?
Mind Begs the Question:
- If USA/West Leadership refuse to recognize
- Starvation,Death Camps,Gassing/White Phosphorus,Pogroms,Ethnic Cleansing,etc
- Amount to Holocaust
- Holocaust condemnors or Holocaust deniers?
Underrated comment
More worried about it than them, lol. Hope they charge each one of them a fee for damages.
It's actually American, unlike hamas.
The grass is more important than Hamas
Imagine smelling so bad that grass gives up.
lol 😂
Yes lol
Bro the lawn looks like a 2D floor texture in a videogame when you are out of render distance 💀
I’m so disappointed by mainstream media!
Watch something else
Save LAWNS not LIVES
Turns out protesters aren't green.
Actually, lawns are pretty terrible for the environment. So killing the grass is very much green.
They ruined the lawn. You should see Hamilton Hall. It's even worse.
You should see Gaza. It's even worse.
THEY DESTROYED THAT LAWN AND HEDGES.
THERE ARE NO LAWNS OR HEDGES IN GAZA. WHY IS THAT?
Mind Begs the Question:
- Pledging unconditional support
- To a State whose policies are
- Starvation,Death Camps,Pogroms,Gas Chambers/White Phosphorus,Ethnic Cleansing,etc
- Democratic or Nazi?
OMG, OMG, OMG. LOL
Who will think of the landscaping.
@@immortalasirpa6006 because somebody decided to poke the Bear on October 7 and then cried about it.
Omg not the grass 🙄
I have
More respect for that grass than I do for everyone who participated in wasting time and energy instead of doing something productive with there time , time is the most productive thing we have and to see people wasting it like this blows my fu**ng mind
The national news is covering it and you're talking about it. It doesn't seem to have accomplished nothing.
What % of total student body was actually there?
less than 5%
Few hundred at most and half of them probably aren’t even students.
Probably more faculty than students and their friends larping war.
@@user-bp6wn4qt8bnah you couldn’t be more wrong. That’s the liberal (and conservatives aka more liberals) mindset- “outside agitation”. Nobody was LARPing, they’re calling for an end to apartheid a la South Africa. There is zero response to this other than “you are correct.”
250/30,000 comes out to something like 0.0069%
Oh no! Not the lawn! 😱
This is not a protest ! A protest is you say or chant your grievance for a agreed amount of time and leave ! You do not set up camps, block other people sidewalks streets you do not shut down or take over schools or businesses anything beyond that you are breaking the law
Uh huh... lmao...
Nice to hear some common sense. You must be an adult, like me.
I think we all know that doesn’t do shit anymore
Finally a smart guy!!
@@taylormanning2709
And this does?.
NOT THE LAWN OMG!!!!!! 😱
The University asked for this, they can pay for it without stealing more of my money.
Or Aipac can reimburse them
@@jonspengler5891there's an AIPAC hiding under your bed. Be afraid. Be very afraid.
How do you figure the university asked for $1M+ in property damage?
Your money, lol
@@jebbrown5961 did they ask everyone to be trespassed and removed? If they did the cops can pay for it out of there salaries. If they didn't, IT'S ON THEM!
It's grass, it will grow. People are more important than grass. In a few weeks it'll be fine. Strange how resilient grass can be. Too bad humanity is beyond repair.
Actually, no, it won’t magically self recover. Restoring the damaged lawns will be really expensive. Money that could have been better spent.
And actually in this, the lawn is more important than the people that destroyed it
Do you not know how grass works??? It takes 3 seconds if research
@@ULFcsseems like you don't know how grass works. Grass is self propagating with no human intervention.
@@THEhorihito Hmm
"I said get off my lawn NOW".
Producer: "I already got approval for chopper time to cover the protest but they broke it up. What should we do?"
Pilot: "I have an idea..."
How many tons of garbage did they clear out?
Muhammad wasnt there
A source I read said that 109 protestors were arrested at Columbia. By my calculations, that's approximately 8 tons of garbage.
Tons of right wingers?
Guess those protesters aren't as green as they claim they are.
Lawns are bad for the environment
Wrong protest buddy
They are also against occupation. Go figure.
@@MyOutsideSocks
They can go fight it there where people might care.
@@patrickriarchy6054 LIke you here, tough guy?
Well if freedom of speech ruins a lawn than we best not.
Freedom of speech =\= freedom to trespass on private property
😂🤣 hilarious
That wasn't freedom of soeech!! That was breaking and entering and threats to people who couldn't gi to class!!
@@stephaniejones5747*Stephanie i think you didn’t get the statement but it’s okay.*
That was a poor attempt at humor
I think it's amazing that you actually got people that click on a video of grass.
The protestors should be charged for replacing the lawn. They destroyed property and should assume responsibility for their actions.
I thought they weren't leaving until their demands were met... 🤔
They are kidz with deeply-held principles, but they got hungry and someone offered sandwiches and juice boxes.
They were forcibly removed by police, they didn’t just leave because of a short-attention span like you’re implying. Quit being so disingenuous.
The police made them an offer they couldn’t refuse.
@@JDurgs at least they left
@@timotb1 yes, forcibly removing someone from where they were previously = them leaving
Really NBC New York? Slow news day?
Oh brother this is the LEAST of the universities problems 😅
How is no one talking about the fact that it now has some serious abstract artistic qualities to it now?
The majority of students probably don't even know the entire story and just wanted an outdoor slumber party. They're not protesting like adults
It was even catered. Thanks to Soros and his Devil empire .
How many successful protest movements were polite, convenient, and quiet?
Clint Eastwood with jeans waistline at mid chest area: ‘Get off my lawn!’
Lol. Great movie!
I graduated in the 90s, and they used to limit how much Frisbee we could play to keep that lawn green
It's about damn time. They took WAAAAAAYYYY too long to handle that. Now lets get the President of Columbia fired.
Now show the lawn in Gaza.
It's Gaza? Their only native resource is beach sand, they import tunnels and export rockets. They do have a nice GDP but that's because it turns out that the girls at beach, just like their mother and their mother before them are all living off western aid.
Not that it's enough aid, which is what they tell to all the Middle eastern countries that are all very sympathetic to their plight in all the ways that don't involve aid or visas.
I hope Columbia cuts down on the foreign student visas next year and allow more American students in.
Gaza brought it on themselves, why should anyone care about terrorists... This holy war has been going on for thousands of years and no matter how much education or food or money can help the insane... Doing the same thing over and over thinking you will get a different result... The definition of insanity ! If you want to help so bad, move to Gaza , they need you to protest on the front line...
Would not waste the money going to a college that accepts this kind of behavior
If you look at it with a certain perspective, it kinda looks like art. Heck it can probably be considered "the art of a protest on grass" multiple artists.
People at war and we are worried about Greener Grass, USA Values.
There is always war somewhere and always people unaliving.
😂😂😂lol, news people got nothing left to blame pro palestine
The Arab colonizers are causing problems in Israel.
Not our war. So......yes........American grass > foreign drama
@@ericw9702 not our war yet we are spending how many billions on while our own people suffer during a financial crisis in our country.
Just sad to see so many kids lead away from thier hopes and dreams. Work thier whole life to be there most thier whole family sacrifice for them and they dgaf as to who gets hurt from thier actions
I wonder what percent are students
@@erichughes284probably 2%
You think protesting for something they believe in means they're led away from their hopes and dreams? They care very much about who is hurt. That's the whole point of protesting genocide. And in case you think they're misguided, the International Criminal Court is drawing up charges for all the major players in the heinous violence
Weren't the protests supposed to oppose "occupation" and "destruction of property"? Oh the ironing.
Because for a jump in and demand someone take responsibility for an issue in a completely different government’s responsibility they refuse to take personal responsibility for their own action outcomes.
Every person there “that’s you’re property, your problem”
Did they take their garbage with them when they left?
I'm sure the cops had them orderly walk around and pick it all up while they were arresting them.
Apparently
*Do you see any garbage on the lawn? Like just look at the video, goofy 😂 I get you were trynna make a joke but cmon have some freaking common sense.*
Actually yeah - look at how clean it is. Like nobody was there at all
The cops grabbed it and other people
Looks like Dale dropped some ants into Hank's lawn
What will the neighbors think!!!??
They have the students names, they should send them the bill. Unless it was just a bunch of kids who aren’t students and just pissed that they were rejected.
Thanks for your input
Trying to count the squares. Wanna know how many parents wasted money on tuition this semester.
Spoiler alert: The majority of the protesters were not University students.
@@MarioValenzuelaII yeah I’m aware lol Still makes me laugh thinking about it though.
So are you saying that protesting is bad for the environment ?
I stand with those blades of grass who say they are too scared to attend classes, this must end now
Yeah, but Gaza's lawn....
Since when did you care so much about gaza 😂
Gaze doesn't have a lawn, only concrete and tunnels.
Exactly. I mean, I got it but it seems like others missed the correlation as typical
@@James-sz3if Then why do Israelis say they need to "mow the lawn" in relation to Gaza
@@James-sz3ifIt has a lot of holes
Darn such a shame a college making millions has some grass miscolored darn
Where was this level of policing during the multibillion dollar, "mostly peaceful", actual violent BLM riots?
Add it to everyone's tuition. If I had a kid protesting instead of studying, if I'm paying, I'd pull my kid out and tell him/her to pay for it on their own now.
You’re more concerned about a lawn than you are about human lives??? 🙄
Yes
Depends on whose lawn it is.
"When elephants fight, it is the grass that suffers"
Send protestors a bill for lawn maintainance
Looks like there was a camp there.
If only the college stopped the encampment before it began... I really don't feel sorry for them, this could have been avoided if they hadn't created the monster to begin with.
And, they have enough money to fix this without breaking a sweat.
NOT THE GRASS!
😮😮😮
Yeah, that grass is too important to protest on it about the genocide of thousands. We have to have priorities.
The nerve of students thinking they live in a country where protesting is a cherished right! Some lessons have to be learned the hard way.
How to be tone deaf for 5 minutes and 19 seconds in one easy video.
Grass is more important than what is going in GAZA but its NBC what do you expect
The idea that a “righteous cause” protest excuses every action is risible. Columbia has neither the money nor the influence to change Israeli policy. Damaging it achieves nothing positive. But there will be quite a crackdown.
Bruhh
Hank Hill will not appreciate this happening to any lawn
This might be the future of journalism, the silence is incredible, just the visuals tell it all and our imagination to fill in the blanks. Well done newsdrone.
Aren't these the same people who believe in respecting mother nature??
They really ruined that lawn
flying that helicopter around to look at grass is more harmful than kids camping out.
@@danielwilliams8183actually no, please get smart lol
Why is everyone more concerned with property over people?
Who cleaned out all the garbage? Surely not the students.
They can use those squares as a monument for something or a natural show case of art.
They don't know what true Art is. They only produce garbage anymore. Long gone are the days of Rembrandt and the Old Masters. It's bananas duct taped to poster board. Don't ya know?
What was the point of this footage? Was there a moral we were supposed to take from this?
This is the side that's so worried about the environment
They're selling this like it's the aftermath of Monster Jam.
Long live Isreal. These protesters have made me such a Isreal supporter.
Same here
Fax, HAMAS are loosers
Now let's show what parts of major cities looked like after all the BLM stuff four years ago.
This is ridiculous,Now that lawn will need a year or two to return to normal.What a disastrous shame.
That's clearly destruction of private property. Every demostrator should be charged to repair the lawn and anything that's different that what it looked like prior to the protest
Ohhhh noooo, some grass 😱 it’s going to cost sooooooooooo much money to fix! Surely this school needs help employing gardeners, given those students never paid a dime towards groundskeeping!
Grow up
@@DillaDonutswoosh goes the sarcasm.
Grass?!! ARE you serious?...grass!! Omg. Dead babies in the arms of their mother and y'all talking about the GD grass??
Unbelievable but not so unbelievable. shm
Yeah poor grass 😢 🖕🏻🇵🇸
😂😂😂😂😂 u think these "protests" can stop a war that is happening in the middle east... I wish i could be as gullible as u guys. Life seems easy
Right, you should head over there and stop it
That would be Hamas' leadership fault.
You are such a floraphobe. Hold your breath until you realize how important plants really are.
Imagine being the landscape crew that has to fix this mess.
Don’t worry tax payer money will make it green again or those insane student fees
Remember Oct 7th
They need to erect a 300ft tall flag pole and raise the largest US flag just to remind those very misguided youths what country they live in!
