But I don't understand that level of damage.
Maybe they don't think they will be taken seriously if they don't wreck things?
I think these demonstrations attract those who like to damage. Might be a mental problem in some?

I don't doubt that some were Columbia students but I wonder if they were egged on by outside agitators.
