Here's a total non-shocker: the Columbia students arrested following this week's pro-Hamas protests are largely rich, privileged children.

We're not surprised. At all.

Here's more from The New York Post:
It takes privilege to protest at Columbia.
The 114 anti-Israel protesters who were busted at Columbia on Thursday include members of the upper crust: an intern for New York State Attorney General Letitia James — and the daughter of a prominent UPS executive who killed an elderly couple with her truck as a teenager and got off with a slap on the wrist.

Many are students at Barnard College, Columbia University’s liberal arts sister school.
Others are career activists with multiple arrests under their belts.
Must be nice.

Yes.
People often ask why these professional leftwing agitators don't have jobs.

With the assistance from Big Daddy and Big Soros, now it's clear.
Crystal clear.
So stunning & brave. Any word if their arrests are felony arrests? Would love to see them forced to check the “have you ever been arrested for a felony?” on EVERY job application for the rest of their lives

As if they'll get real jobs.
Rich and bored, the worst combination.

A very bad combination.

"Trustafarians"

They are a truly hideous domestic product of ours. And we have ramped-up production massively over the past two decades! Sipping lattes and writing oppression screeds on an expensive MacBook their daddy bought them. https://t.co/rs3HXgY1zx
'Trustafarians' is just perfect.
Every single time. https://t.co/IQoEt0KtrA

Without fail.
This tells me their parents are ok with their hateful children and probably encouraged them down this road. https://t.co/Y1LgXxv9XU

Yep. Ilhan Omar's daughter was suspended from Barnard for her involvement in this.
These are some of the most privileged kids in America, and they act like a bunch of thugs. Maybe it’s time to name and shame the parents. They obviously have raised some anti Semitic children. https://t.co/6YZSIrtn8T

Obviously.
Just nuts. https://t.co/rayQvOlURd

Nuts, indeed.
