New York City has recently been buried under snow and, yes, piles of trash. One wonders what to do with all of that snow?

Some think all of that snow is a great opportunity to introduce their kids to sledding or snowshoeing in Central Oark. Others, take to Washington Square to have a snowball fight. So what if a few rouge snowballs end up aimed at NYPD, right?

In a statement Tuesday, the New York Police Department said multiple uniformed officers were struck in the face with snowballs and were ‘removed by EMS in stable condition’ to a nearby hospital, but did not disclose additional information on their injuries.”–Associated Press

Mamdani condemned the acts in his public-facing X account.

“Kids.” “Snowballs.” Like mostly peaceful protests, I guess. pic.twitter.com/qzK7ACJXJM

“If anyone’s taking a snowball, it’s me”, he Tweets from Gracie Mansion. He later said it was “just a snowball fight”.

Just a snowball fight.

If you’re staying out of the fray at Washington Square, perhaps, you’re a bored Columbia professor who has a day off from “teaching” (intentionally in quotes). Enter, Social Work Professor, Anthony Zenkus.

BREAKING: One of the NYPD officers hit with a snowball in the melee in NYC yesterday has succumbed to his injuries and was pronounced dead at 1 pm this afternoon.

The snowman that he built with his two children – now fatherless – still stands on the lawn of his Levittown, Long… pic.twitter.com/i1vVfSixCA

Zenkus, who claims he “is not a liberal”, but has gone on the record before mocking the death of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson. He said, “Capitalism causes mental illness”, and made light of the over 3,000 should killed on 9/11 on the 20th anniversary of the tragedy saying, “meanwhile, we’ve killed millions”. Sounds pretty damn liberal to me.

Now considering you make around $250,000 a year this picture you have is a hoot! And who's trauma are you treating at @Columbia hmmmmm? pic.twitter.com/XCY7XA7wyq

He’s an edgy prof, yo. From his TedX page:

Anthony Zenkus is a licensed Social Worker and is an adjunct faculty in the School of Social Work at Adelphi University, as well as serving as the Director of Education at The Safe Center, a non-profit that serves victims of family violence and sexual assault. Anthony has trained thousands of professionals on the issues of interpersonal violence, income inequality, and the effects of trauma and chronic stress on the brain, body and behavior. In addition, he has been trained by Vice President Gore as a presenter in his Climate Reality Project. Anthony is also an activist and has been an organizer with Occupy Wall Street as well as being involved with Black Lives Matter and environmental causes. He has appeared regularly in print, online, and television media as an expert on family violence, trauma and the effects of inequality.”-TedX

Again, sounds pretty damn liberal to me. And, Al Gore and his Climate Reality Project? Can I LOL for just a minute on this one?

This licensed social worker is blaming society for thugs throwing “snowballs” at police officers. You see, the attackers are the victims here. My guess is this sheltered Columbia schmuck has not the realization or social awareness that snowballs can turn to ice. Or that people can pack snow around a ROCK and pelt it at someone to really do some damage. Or that some of these snowballs were NOT itty, bitty snowballs but snow BOULDERS.

Protecting masked thugs over law enforcement doing their job (yes they were there on a call).. you people are completely lacking in respect, morals and character. You weren’t raised properly & I pity people like you. pic.twitter.com/jZwu9jbkut

To think this is a person who is supposed to provide compassion and empathy-a person who is supposed to teach individuals going into the same field how to do the same. Want to talk about the effects of trauma and chronic stress on the brain, body and behavior of law enforcement officers, Professor Zenkus? Let’s talk about the higher stress rates of law enforcement marriages. Shift work, overtime, night work. Violence and high-risk situations. Anxiety and irritability. You think some law enforcement officers just want to come home or BE home with their kids to build a snowman without a day of dealing with the BS of taunting jackasses-all of whom, they are told, they cannot arrest because they can’t even arrest people for more significant crimes? Let’s talk about the social and familial impact of that at the dinner table, genius.

What a moronic post. Is it any surprise that this performative nitwit adorns his handle with the Palestinian flag? I guess violence is fine – as long as the "right people" are being targeted.

Precisely. Now, kiddies at Columbia who will be forced to walk on turf at a football field, look no further than your professors for encouraging your protests that earned you this “evil, cruel, horrific punishment“. There are still some snow banks amongst the trash banks in NYC. I say, find Mr. Zenkus and pelt him with the most yellow snowballs you can find.
