'Sue the B****rds' of Columbia

This “Bits and Pieces” will discuss three related matters surrounding the current take-overs of the Columbia University campus and other venues: (1) The perpetrators are terrorists, not “demonstrators,” (2) the uniforms they choose show their tribal affiliation with the Hamas butchers, and (3) the logistical support they are receiving from unidentified supporters and financiers. It will close with a modest proposal for action: Sue the bastards. ...

I heard today that Mike Pence described them referred to them as “Pro-terrorist mobs.” Even if you don’t like the former Vice-President, give the devil his due. His description probably is as good as any. But the fact that he was candid enough to say it was news. If you prefer just a single word, “terrorists” is accurate. They are literally terrorizing Jewish students who want nothing more than to be allowed to attend classes peacefully, without enduring shouted threats from people who physically surround and assault them, and who make no secret of their desire to see Jews burn.

That sounds like a great idea, but it violates the foundational principle of our civil legal system. No, I'm not talking about the Constitution -- I'm talking about the First Rule of Tort Law: Never sue poor people. Every attorney learns this on their first day in law school. You might eventually get to the financiers of this conspiracy, but it will take a lot of money to do so, and even then you're not likely to win a massive award that justifies the expense and effort.

I'd rather just arrest and expel them, and deport those on student visas with a finding that they are never to re-enter the US again. I know, I'm settling for less, but simplicity has its virtues too.
