Lifehack for robbers: don't wear a sweatshirt emblazoned with your fraternity's name, and your pledge name, when you mug someone. And if you do, hope that video of the crime never gets posted online.

Columbia University: where you can almost taste the class conflict lapping at the edge of campus.

By very polite muggers!
