LIVE UPDATES: NYU builds wall to deter protests, Adams says 'outside agitators' fanning flames

More demonstrations were planned Tuesday near NYU and Columbia University as protests over the Israel-Gaza war and outrage over antisemitism on college campuses has led to fiery confrontations and mounting pressure on college leadership, including calls for Columbia's president to resign. Hundreds of protesters have been arrested in recent days, including 130 at NYU on Monday.

11:30 a. m. – NYU builds wall at plaza where cops, protesters clashed

NYU built a wooden wall around Gould Plaza, where police made the majority of the at least 130 arrests on Monday night. NYU said there were reports of intimidating chants, and university officials ultimately called in police to arrest demonstrators from the plaza, which is near the NYU Stern School of Business.

And before I get told "Trolling and Spamming".. A certain named country was suppose to pay for the wall, as mentioned by someone, and they did not pay for the wall. So I am asking...

This is a common humor that I've never understood, what's so funny about someone tripping, slipping, or falling in some other way?

When we were all walking back to class after lunch in 6th grade, I was too close to the slot where steel double doors close, and I accidentally kicked it and fell to my knees. People laughed at me, but I just looked at them, confused, as to why they thought it was funny.

In 2019, at an airsoft place, I accidentally kicked someone's hard rifle case, and fell down. I held my hand out, asking for someone's help, not one person giggled, and two people helped raise me to my feet.

It was a heartwarming display, but it also still begs the question, why would anyone find it funny to see someone slip, trip, or fall in some other way?

I asked a question about public embarrassments, and one person told me they were embarrassed when they slipped on a wet floor, and someone laughed at him, before helping him up. I don't get it, why would it be funny for a person to fall to the ground?

As kids, short and light as we were, falling to the ground is unlikely to have dire consequences, but as adults, falling to the ground and hitting the wrong place can lead to serious injury. Why anyone would laugh at that beats me.

So tell me, why would someone find it funny to see someone slip and fall to the ground?
