UCLA officials announced all classes Wednesday morning would be canceled hours after law enforcement was sent to the campus to restore order following attacks on a pro-Palestinian encampment that has been in place at the university since last Thursday.

β€œDue to the distress caused by the violence that took place on Royce Quad late last night and early this morning, all classes are cancelled today. Please avoid the Royce Quad area,” UCLA posted on X, formerly Twitter, shortly before 8:30 a.m.

The violence erupted shortly before 11 p.m. Tuesday when the group of about 50 counterprotestors wearing dark clothing, hoods and white masks covering their faces stormed the barricade and tried to tear it down.

Why not just close permanently? That will keep everyone safe.

What happened last night was the fault of the non student counter protesters who fired commercial level fireworks at the encampment and attacked the students with bear spray.

This whole thing will end after November 5, 2024. That is if Joe and the Dems get re-elected.

If not your punishment will continue.

They are no longer “protests”. They are violent riots.

“after a night of violence.”

The media has been saying it was all peaceful.
The soundbites of protesters had them saying “the police and the university are the violent ones suppressing our rights.”

Agreed. As we saw in New York, particularly at Columbia, they kept giving the pro-hamas protesters deadlines, which they ignored them we’re finally forced into action when they broke into an occupied a campus building, causing significant damage.

Yes, including the victory at Brown University:
“Brown University’s corporate board will vote on a proposal to divest from Israeli interests, the university announced Tuesday, a major victory....”

Makes rioters feel more emboldened all over the country.

Who are you asking?

Here’s someone we could ask.

A report said the young UCLA Jewish woman surrounded by five anti-Israel protesters and beaten unconscious , who was in the critical care unit was finally able to recognize her parents after the initial hours.

“She suffered a concussion and was unable to recognize her family when she initially woke up. Thankfully she is in stable condition now.” Reported on Skiksa.com/study abroad

taxpayers pay BILLIONS to build huge fancy (and beautiful) colleges like UCLA (see web pictures)

and taxpayers pay BILLIONS more to subsidize the operations of these colleges so the students can get degrees at far less than their full cost

and taxpayers pay MILLIONS to college “administrators” and college security police and city police.....

for what?
to close the damned campus because some loud, offensive idiot racists decided to “close it all down” by camping on public property, screaming racist insults at passersby, blocking the public streets/ public walkways/ access to public buildings...all the while advocating for the Arab mass terrorists who just slaughtered 1300 innocent citizens in their homes?

This all STINKS to high Heaven. These gangsters at UCLA and the other colleges need to be rounded up and sent to a secure prison pending trial. All of the foreigners in the crowd or leading the mob need to be repatriated to Arabia, Qatar,Iran, and the other Moslem Krapistans. Now.

American students have a right to walk to their classrooms without being accousted, attacked, or threatened.
Same for the college staff.

The counter protestors should be treated as heroes. These pro Hamas scum deserve a whiff of grapeshot.

Actually it won’t.
This has been going on in CA since the early 90’s.
Berkeley was ground zero and using CARE and the Bush Family, they flooded the rest of the country.
