Who were the outsiders at Columbia Universitys Hamilton Hall?
When James Carlson was arrested inside Columbia Universitys Hamilton Hall, he was already under investigation for snatching an Israeli flag out of a mans hand near campus and setting it on fire.

Carlson, who also goes by Cody Carlson and Cody Tarlson, was the oldest of the protesters arrested inside Hamilton Hall. Neither he nor his lawyer returned requests for comment.
Carlson has been a frequent presence at protests around the city since the start of Israels offensive in Gaza following Hamas Oct. 7 assault, according to the NYPD official. He is accused of taking part in a chaotic incident near the Columbia campus during a protest on April 20. As a 22-year-old man carrying an Israeli flag was walking around the demonstration, Carlson yanked the flag out of his hands and took off, police said.
As the victim gave chase, some other members of the crowd threw rocks at the man, police said. Carlson was captured on video setting the flag on fire with a lighter, according to a criminal complaint. He has pleaded not guilty to charges of arson and criminal mischief, according to court records. The Manhattan District Attorney is investigating the incident as a possible hate crime, a spokesperson said.
