I was present at this protest (with the pro-Israel side, thankyouverymuch). The funniest part of the whole thing was that after being told by the cops that they would face arrest if they continued to lay siege to Wheeler hall, they started chanting about police "brutality". The protesters, in fact, directly accused the U.C. police department of this offense, for the obviously evil tactic of arresting people who break the law. Of course, the only actual brutality was this cop-biting dork. Freedom is slavery, I guess.
War is Peace! At least, that's what I heard on P.A. tv! ;)
Thanks for the amusing play by play, wish I could've been there!
