Stanford says arrested protesters caused ‘extensive damage’ while occupying president’s office
The San Francisco Chronicle ^ | June 5, 2024 | Nanette Asimov

Stanford University police arrested 13 pro-Palestinian protesters Wednesday who entered the president’s office early in the morning and, the university said, caused extensive damage in the building and injured one of the officers trying to clear the building. Outside, protesters graffitied the stone walls with swear words and death threats against police, America and Israel.

On the last day of spring instruction at Stanford, university officials then wasted no time in dismantling a pro-Palestinian encampment on nearby White Plaza, removing tents that had been up since April. They also removed an adjacent pro-Israel display featuring chairs with the names of the hostages taken by Hamas...

“We are appalled and deeply saddened by the actions that occurred on our campus earlier today,” President Richard Saller and Provost Jenny Martinez wrote in an open letter to the campus.

Students who were arrested will be suspended from school, and those who are seniors won’t be allowed to graduate, the administrators said.

The Stanford Daily reported that one of its journalists, who was on the scene to cover the protest, was among those arrested.

***The statement declared that they had “renamed the building ‘Dr. Adnan’s Office’ in honor Dr. Adnan al-Bursh, a Palestinian General Surgeon who was murdered in April by Israel’s genocidal campaign.”

***Throughout the morning, after the occupiers were removed, students, parents of prospective students and employees gaped at the shocking statements splayed across the historic structure. In red or black paint, the graffiti praised “the martyrs,” threatened death in reference to “pigs” and police and accused Stanford of complicity in Israel’s ongoing war in Gaza.

“I think it’s scary,” an Israeli graduate student said as he stood with friends and studied the ravaged walls. “This is how it starts. The stories we remember from the Holocaust.”

Interesting how none of these stories show photos of the graffiti which defaced a veterans memorial plaque and spewed antifa slogans, eg "pigs taste best dead". You can find them here:

I don’t believe they will follow through. A phone call will be made and PhDs for everyone.

Excellent!

Hope Stanford never gets it fixed.

They should close down that degenerate sore spot and build an oil refinery there.

The “leadership” in the Standford Administration like that easy moneys without exercising any leadership neurons. Those huge tuition costs are just play money for them. I say wipe the board of all of them and get new leadership. Let it be a lesson to future grifters, their job is not playtime in the sandbox.

Good for the protesters

Nice to see a Stanford administrator having to deal with the toxic mess they have inflicted on a once great institution of higher learning

The Leftist propaganda machines are still churning out the lies that our side is dangerous by sowing doubts about the perfect fairness and honesty of the American judicial system after Trump’s persecution in the lawfare trial.

Nothing about January 6th was anywhere near the usual Leftist trashing, broken windows and danger to citizens by the campus and traffic blocking violent Leftists.

Their dead felon George Floyd’s violent protests and the Gentle Giant don’t shoot ones plus the current anti-Jewish riots add up to man millions of dollars in losses plus police overtime costs.
