Protesters set up a shanty town within the California Polytechnic University's Siemens Hall equipped with beds and tents, reports KIEM-TV. The school is located in Arcata in rural northern California, close to the border with Oregon.

As the protests gain attention worldwide, billionaire investor Bill Ackman, an outspoken supporter of Israel, tweeted took aim at college leadership.

Who is funding the anarchists who are trying to destabilize the civil order in order to bring this country down? (”Palestine” is not their main concern.)

So, January 6th was Insurrection and Treason, and this is not?

Got it. Roger, that.

Theses are rich grandkids of Maoist hippies from wealthy areas across the state/country.

Exactly. All part of the "color revolution", along with antifa, blm, econuts, trans / homonazis, all encouraged by the Xiden regime.

No doubt funded and organized by the feds,UN, Open Society Institute (Soros), IMF, Tides Foundation, CCP and a host of others.

The city of Arcata is located on the California coast in Humboldt County, just 7 miles from the city of Eureka, 278 driving miles north of San Francisco, and 90 miles south of the Oregon border.

It is home to Cal Poly Humboldt , one of the oldest and most beautiful colleges in the California State University system.

Hamas instigated, I’ll bet, to try to stave off Israel’s imminent attack on them in Rafah (after removing civilians).

Reminds me of the old Li’l Abner comic strip from 1966 in which the Students Wildly Indignant about Nearly Everything (S.W.I.N.E.) take over the campus.
The terrified University Regents sell the University to the Mafia who brings in the mob enforcers.
Here come the SWINE protesting!

I still get a thrill remembering how the leader of the protestors used his front teeth to assault the brass knuckles of the mob enforcers. Who says brass won’t make a spark! These did. Big ones at that!

Beautiful it may be, but has it ever graduated anyone worth a shat?

I’m thinking if they have all this spare time classes at these universities sure as heck are not challenging enough. That goes for the tuition as well.

Probably not post the 1960’s!
