Hundreds of riot police descend on Cal Poly Humboldt

Update: as of 8 p.m. April 30, Cal Poly Humboldt says 32 people have been arrested.

Some names have been changed to protect identities.

After a week-long pro-Palestine protest at Cal Poly Humboldt, multiple law enforcement agencies descended onto campus grounds on Monday around 10:00 p.m. An audio message blared through a sound system strapped atop a University Police Department vehicle threatening use of plastic, rubber bullets, and chemical agents on protesters for over five hours. Eventually, around 3:30 a.m., hundreds of police officers dressed in full riot gear swarmed campus, arresting over 30 protesters, including students and at least one Cal Poly Humboldt professor.

On Monday evening, April 22, protesters took control of the quad area, Siemens Hall, and Nelson Hall. Over the course of a week, entrance points to the quad had been fortified with dumpsters, chairs, doors, office furniture, tape, rope, and chain. Tents filled the grassy areas surrounding Siemens and Nelson Halls. Chalk, markers, and spray paint covered both pavement and wall surface-areas with messages making the protesters’ conviction and commitment to their cause clear: “Free Gaza,” “Stop Funding Genocide,” “Silence is violence.” were among the messages written by protesters.

Despite a coordinated police response surveillance system set by the protesters, the exact time the police would arrive, remained unclear. The inevitable police response finally arrived around 10 p.m. on Monday, with a University Police Department vehicle threatening protesters with rubber, plastic bullets and chemical agents should they refuse to disperse from campus grounds.

Parts of Cal Poly Humboldt have been occupied including Siemens Hall. It has been occupied for a week.

Columbia Student Thinks School Should Provide Aid to Protesters, Receives Reality Check Instead
https://wokespy.com/columbia-student-thinks-school-should-provide-aid-to-protesters-receives-reality-check-instead/

One Columbia University student received a harsh dose of reality recently via a reporter covering the situation at Hamilton Hall.

Student protesters occupied Hamilton Hall on the campus of Columbia University in New York City on Tuesday. PhD-candidate and faculty member Johannah King-Slutzky, spoke to reporters and called for the school to provide food and water to the occupiers, even going so far as to call it “humanitarian aid”.

She had no idea that a reporter with actual common sense was in the crowd. The unnamed reporter pushed back on her false narrative, pointing out that the students chose occupied the building and can leave whenever they want.

“It seems like you’re saying, ‘we want to be revolutionaries, we want to take over this building, now would you please bring us some food’.”

Her statements were quickly fact-checked by X users in the form of Community Notes.

They made their choice to engage in this terrorism.

Chaos Erupts At UCLA After Pro-Gaza Activists Refuse Entry To Non-Allied Students
https://www.zerohedge.com/political/chaos-erupts-ucla-after-pro-gaza-activists-refuse-entry-non-allied-students

It's like the Seattle CHAZ encampment all over again.  Far-left activists have declared the UCLA campus a "liberated zone" and are refusing entry for many students not affiliated with the pro-Gaza protests.  They have erected barriers and placed guards, creating makeshift checkpoints which require a special wrist band in order to gain passage.

Wristbands are being used to identify anti-Israel students at @UCLA so that they are allowed to enter Royce Quad, Royce Hall, and Powell Library.

Some students are allowed in and out, others are kept out. This is ILLEGAL and UCLA is not just tolerating it but facilitating it. pic.twitter.com/CbdodKLK53

In other words, if you aren't an "ally" then you don't get to attend classes, or, if you're lucky you are allowed to take a longer route around the barricades.  Keep in mind, this is not a protected form of protest or free speech, which explains why many college campuses have chosen to have protesters removed by police.  UCLA so far appears to be supporting the activists and has allowed them to take control.

NYC doctor, serial anti-Israel protester, 47, among non-students arrested at Columbia, CUNY raids
https://nypost.com/2024/05/01/us-news/doctor-known-anti-israel-protester-among-the-282-arrested-at-columbia-city-college-of-ny/

A Manhattan doctor and a known anti-Israel protester were among the 282 people arrested overnight when the NYPD raided campus encampments at Columbia University and the City College of New York.

Fernando Bobis, 42, an internal medicine doctor based in Washington Heights, was one of the 109 people arrested at Columbia’s Morningside Heights campus, where rioters had broken into an academic building, occupying it for more than 20 hours before university officials called the cops for help.

“Five and 1/2 hours in a holding cell with no bathroom, no water, no food. I had a hard time checking my insulin to make sure I was okay. I’m Type 1 diabetic,” Bobis told reporters after his arrest was processed at NYPD headquarters.

He was among several busted protesters who were released from One Police Plaza Wednesday morning — as hundreds of their comrades greeted them with cheers and handed out bottled water, food and sunscreen.

The Brown University graduate, who said he previously took general studies courses at Columbia, wasn’t the only non-student arrested overnight.

Known anti-Israel protester Jesse Pape, 47, who has clashed with NYPD officers at other anti-Israel rallies, was also booked Tuesday night.

Plenty of non-students took part. One is a doctor.

Let the lawsuits begin.

And there's gonna be dozens of them, including class-action suits.  -Versus the Soros-organizations in a lot of cases.  I think we've crossed the line as far as parents of college-aged kids are concerned.  They have every right to sue admissions offices and faculties for Breach Of Contract.

I would turn off the water, turn off the electric seal all the exits and then after two days send them some tear gas german Sheppards and a follow up with nightsticks and handcuffs.

Columbia student mocked for viral video telling reporters that occupiers might die without food delivery
'This is, like, basic humanitarian aid we're asking for'

A Columbia University graduate student went viral online after telling members of the media that protesters were at risk of dying or becoming severely ill if authorities did not deliver food and water to them.

"First of all, we're saying that they're obligated to provide food to students who pay for a meal plan here," the student told reporters when asked about Columbia's role providing food access for students occupying the campus building Hamilton Hall.

"I guess it's ultimately a question of what kind of community and obligation Columbia feels it has to its students," King-Slutzky said. "Do you want students to die of dehydration and starvation or get severely ill, even if they disagree with you?"

She continued: "If the answer is no then you should allow basic — I mean, it's crazy to say since we're on an Ivy League campus — but this is like, basic humanitarian aid we're asking for, like could people please have a glass of water?"
