It seems that Columbia University students aren't the only ones threatened by the racist, antisemitic mobs that have been rioting and occupying buildings at that institution. Now we learn that two janitors, one black and one Hispanic, were targeted for harassment and threats as well. At one point the men had to fight their way out of a mob. 

Now an Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) investigation is underway, resulting from complaints from the two men.

Columbia University is facing a new federal investigation over allegations from two janitors who claimed to have been forced to scrub off swastikas on campus before later being attacked and briefly trapped by an anti-Israel “mob” during the takeover of Hamilton Hall last spring.

The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), a federal agency tasked with enforcing civil rights laws in the workplace, has opened a probe into complaints from Lester Wilson and Mario Torres, who were forced to fight their way out of Hamilton Hall nearly a year ago, The Post has confirmed.

“We welcome the EEOC’s decision to open an investigation into Mario’s and Lester’s charges of discrimination,” former US Attorney General Bill Barr, whose firm Torridon is representing the two men, told The Post.

This is a serious matter. These students and their fellow travelers are guilty not only of rioting and illegal occupation of campus buildings, not only of threatening and even assaulting students but arguably of domestic terrorism. Unlike the claims from many on the left that the mysterious white supremacist terrorists are the real threat - a threat that never seems to materialize - these students and the other rioters are from the left.

Now they are even assaulting janitors.

Wilson and Torres, who had worked at the school for over five years, were both left injured as well as traumatized from the scourge of anti-Israel unrest that engulfed the Ivy League school and have since been unable to return to work as a result, according to the complaints they filed last October.

“Hours after President [Minouche] Shafik issued her statement [that the university had become ‘unsafe for everyone‘], an antisemitic mob assaulted two janitors inside Columbia’s historic Hamilton Hall, calling them ‘Jew-lovers,'” the two complaints for both men recalled of the Hamilton Hall takeover in April last year.

“Columbia had indeed become unsafe for everyone, including the two janitors who were trapped inside Hamilton Hall. And for these two men, Columbia had for months been a hostile environment in violation of Title VII,” the complaints added.

Yes, Columbia is now unsafe for everyone. That must change, and the people who perpetrated this have to be brought to justice.

This kind of behavior will continue until there are consequences meted out, consequences that are commensurate with acts. A conviction on domestic terror charges at the federal level carries significant penalties, up to and including life imprisonment if citizens are injured or killed. It's time that the rioters at Columbia are identified, charged, and prosecuted.

And we should note that it is the left, not the right, who insists on using swastikas and other racist symbology. Every. Time.
