Sounds like this encampment was far from amateur. So many professional protesting tactics involved. Did it look like a lot of people there were not a part of the school?

They were definitely ready and well prepared. I would say it was a healthy mix of students and non-students.

True these demonstrations are the opposite of organic, but I do wonder at how long it took law enforcement to break them apart. I suppose they had to use gentler strategies or they'd be hearing from the parents next.

Interesting that there were two Occidental students there as I would imagine their campus is totally pro Hamas. I worked for an Israeli university recruiting students for study abroad. Occidental was the only school which told students they could spend semester abroad in Israel but that the credits would not be accepted. To my knowledge Israel was the only country so treated at Occidental.

I doubt DOJ and FBI will pursue the organizers behind these “mostly peaceful protests” with the same determination to protect our country as they did with Jan 6th “Insurrection”.

Back in the saddle! Thanks for the inside line on what was going on.
