Several protesters who were arrested at UCLA early Thursday morning spoke with Eyewitness News after their release and shared details of their experience. READ MORE HERE: abc7.com/protesters-arrested-...
Exactly!!! I would’ve never been up at the US Capitol on January 6 for anything in the world because I would not want to feel like a sardine being amongst a bunch of people but the cops were very professional and they used rifles that we’re actually holding plastic bullets and they didn’t spray anybody with pepper spray until these people were spraying the police officers and Jewish people with fire extinguishers! WTH? I grew up in the 1970s and 1980s and I thought for sure they needed the National Guard but Joe said it wasn’t that bad and he’s not a dictator, but ironically enough, he sends the FBI out for everybody else even if they’re just to the school board meeting. These cops showed excellent restraint
The police showed restraint in preventing outsider mobs from attacking UCLA students. Where are the pink slips? (see: Judith Levine's Guardian article: "Police let violent mobs attack UCLA students. This is what lawlessness looks like.")
@@JustaPerson1988They are criminals & terrorist supporters & very likely terrorists NOT peaceful protesters. Please, stop lying & pretending they're innocent. You may have forgotten 9/11 & the George Floyd riots but most of us Americans have not. We're sick of this.
For me embarrasing is that there are minimal consequences for their actions. They should be jailed until somebody comes with bond and later court case.
@@jacekwierzbicki6142 I just think about our parents my mother would kill me the parents are part of the problem as well these kids have never been disciplined in their life apparently they run ragged in their households and their parents let them do whatever they want unbelievable nobody's going to hire them
@@jacekwierzbicki6142 this is a holy war their time is up anyway they don't even know what's going on because they're so anti-god they'll figure it out
@@JustaPerson1988 1) You DO NOT have the right to camp out anywhere you want. Honest. That was never the intent of the 1st amendment. 2) They DID fight the police. We watched it... live. Are you actually insane?
@@johnabbottphotography and UCLA literally didn't even care that they setup a camp there. When they started tagging up the buildings and destroying properties, that's when the school said enough.
You don't seem to know what a cult is. Cults have a singular leader they worship to the point where they chant their catchphrase, wear their clothing and put them side by side to God. That's a cult.
@@derpeth2101 Did the American revolutionaries slaughter British women and children and cheer about it? Did they teach their children to become suicide bombers? Don't be an idiot.
How the heck is vandalism and everything that they did like assaulting officers etc literally just a misdemeanor this is what is wrong with Los angeles
We all watched the " summer of love" in 2020 no consequences for full blown riots, what do you expect these kids to do knowing they can get away with this kinda behavior.
@@doctorsavage5925 they had been issued notices to leave by UC so standing there was illegal - and all the destruction of property - you are delusional like you idols HAMAS!
They were arrested for trespassing not any of the other stuff you are talking about. Plus, if they start charging them with some of those other crimes they would also have to charge the pro- Israel people that are on video assaulting people with those same crimes. This is already costing the city a pretty penny, and I am also sure they will be paying more in some of the lawsuits that will be coming down the line.
Why did the students forget the hostages? Why didn't they protest for the release of the hostages and stop daily torture? Expel, deport if on visa, never hire.
@@MylifeMB Thats because you ignore it, as it flys right in the face of what you feign on about. Because if you really cared about Palestinian lives, you'd advocate for the removal of radical ideologies that seek perpetual war with Jews. But because socialists only care about Stalins legacy, youll continue to encourage destabilizing the Middle East to push for more socialism.
Ask IOF who killed all the civilians on oct 7.* hannibal directives *.PORAT Testimonies on IOF killed her husband and 100s of civilians. D semesh, filmed IOF from helicopter shooting on civilians and their cars.
And all this because they support Islamic terrorism. It's really simple, if you care about the Palestinian people, you'd be protesting for Hamas to surrender, not for Isarael to stop; the moment Hamas surrenders, this war is over, but alas, your goal is not to end the war and safeguard the Palestinian people, but to denounce Israel for defending itself from an asymmetrical threat that purposely uses (mostly voluntarily) human shields to garner sympathy from Western ultracrepidarians like yourselves--all part of Hamas' terror tactics and you all fell for it.
Yes, don't let people forget what's happening in Gaza, including the continued holding of over 40 kidnapped people, including American citizens. They should all face stiffer charges and anyone at the school on a visa should be deported.
They support the same people that made 9-11 happen. What stupid idiots. They don't even realize they are being funded by terrorists. Zero brain cells among any of them.
What about the nearly 35,000 Gazans murdered by Israelis in the past few months?! Or, the HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS of MURDERED PALESTINIANS over the years of Israel's settler colonialism? Start with the Balfour Declaration (1917). And let's hear about the Nakba (1948).
@@user-bq7iy7bt9v Follow the money. George Soros donates lots of money to small activist organizations across the country. These small activist orgs fund these and it's always the same group of lefties, small tactics, same tents, same recruiters for these activities as OWS, BLM, ANTIFA.
What happened was they destroyed their own school and called for violence "intifada" that isn't limited to stabbing children or using rape as a weapon.
@@superpowerindia8133 Telling the truth about history isn't racist. Shame on you for trying to cry such slander and look the other way on a violence campaign that targeted children.
Tgere are plenty of tgeir " brothers " who should open their countries. ....send that pretty Ilahe there....she will be a nice toy in those tunnels....@MargaretCho-pt3ng
All arrestees should be excluded from the university! This is not what university is about, the violence and disrespect for the law is clearly evident, you make stupid choices then you must face the consequences! Exclude and if you’re an outsider you must be charged with criminal trespass and destruction of property and fined or jailed or both !besides questions must be asked as to where the funding for all,this is coming from, it is clearly not coming from students!Foreign actors must be exposed!
It's almost as if trespassing, barricading classrooms and the library, engaging against hate crimes against jews (pepper spray, threats), and vandalizing property is a crime you can get arrested for. Who knew?
Lmao there were no hate crimes against Jews. Only hate crimes against the protestors by a pro-Israel mob while the security stood in silence. Get your information right
Every single time these protestors protest at places that have nothing to do with the power structures they're protesting against. I asked a young 22 year old lady about this & she said the main point is to bring awareness not change. These kids are screwed up...
Hey, now you can say that during a genocide you made comments insulting protestors that were trying to stop a genocide. Good for you. Let's get this guy a joke award for this comment. 👏
As a follow-up, please get the data of how many of the arrests were of university affiliated and how many were not. In NYC, almost half of arrests had ZERO affiliation with the universities. And among those non-affiliated were known to law enforcement as repeat protesters/agitators and anarchists -- untethered to cause. In other words, there likely are a bunch of people, who don't care about the Netanyahu government war in Gaza or free speech, have infiltrated these protests, and possibly influenced the behavior of others at this protest. That if not for these outside forces, the protest would have stayed peaceful and we could have averted the worst of these last few days.
The outside forces were the police and Zionist groups assaulting these individuals. The protesters themselves were not a violent group. Furthermore UCLA is a pubic university, therefore public property. Anyone from the public is free to come to campus and protest as the case with all public property
@@stevenrn6640, please explain in your view the significance of this statistic. Because I pointed out the significance of the non-affiliated, esp. the agitators/anarchists, who possibly encouraged those who actually believed in the cause and who happen to be young and potentially vulnerable to manipulation to do something unlawful. Are you possibly suggesting that it was the students' idea to cover their faces, to take down barricades, to block city streets, to break windows, to take over private property, and to fire fireworks into the counterprotest?
@@donkeykong5660, it's not a theory in the case of the campus protests. The actual police reported arresting individuals who have been at different protests for different causes and who just do violence. Police have reported that these individuals were well-known to the police. NYPD is now investigating whose idea it was to break into a university building and take it over (e.g., the students or these well-known individuals to police). For January 6, ZERO police reports cite such individuals; so the claims are just conspiracy/deflection -- which was replaced with alternative conspiracies and alternative explanations. The primary aspects thus far similar in both sets of unrest is that 1) windows were broken, 2) "protesters" trespassed, 3) "protesters" fought against law enforcement, and 4) "protester" poop inside a building but not in toilet. So, there is some overlap.
That’s right, nowhere. They ain’t protesting high gas prices or high grocery prices, or the growing homeless that actually matter to us but they care more about the war our money is funding.

Fantastic use of the word ultracrepidarian. These sheep need removal to Gaza and understand what Islamism as represented by Hamas is. No rights for minorities, women, homosexuals. The mental gymnastics these sheep do to justify themselves is extraordinary.
@@otisjenkinsjr.3556 Who bullied whom? They're bullying the US taxpayers. Did you pay your taxes on April 15? If not you gonna get penalty even if u filed 4 extension 😮
Time to start adding fines maybe add it to their student loans. Also charge them for cleanup and all the Police overtime. They could protest all they want in the U.S., nothing in Gaza changed. These protesters need to get on flights to Israel and try this crap there.
The City and UCLA should sue those trespassers for 1/200 each of the actual expenses incurred to remove them and to clean up. Why should I as a taxpayer see a cent taken from my taxes for those criminals.
Wish it was that simple but they will get some shitty government job (dmv) or something that will overlook their leftist protesting record. Or some university job teaching social justice / gender studies bullcr@p job which they have been pushing for more of. Wasn't Bernie Sanders famously arrested at some Vietnam era protest? Yet he got into government etc making millions.
@@TDCLOL I worked in HR at a company in Maryland. I checked the Maryland Case files for any prior arrests or civil penalties. Traffic stuff was fine unless it was something crazy, but an arrest was a big flag, and anything like protesting (not that it ever came up)would get it tossed. The reason being that person my not work well in a group of people with diverse opinions. Thats what I was looking for. I believe the students that didn't assault officers, or vandalize on film will be able to expunge convictions, if it even comes to that. The police arrest record shows that half of the protestors at Colombia were not affiliated with the school.
Of course they will have more, they had no consequences at all… she loves Gaza and Hamas so much why is she here?… go there with the people and try to put your life on the line for them… but don’t do it here in the land of the free… go there… oh you probably don’t even know where Gaza is … you’re just getting paid to do this….. it’s funny before Oct 7th happened none of these people knew anything about Palestine or gave a crap.
When the country watched city after city burned to the ground in 2020 with no consequences, why should they think they would have any consequences for this?
Boomer azz comment, that app didn’t do anything to bring what has been brought to these protests, if I may ask, what evidence do you have in order to make such a claim about that horrid app called tik tok?
Why give the government MORE power? 🤦♂️ You think they only want tiktok? Wake up, it's all about controlling the narrative they want heard. Keep thinking the government cares about you, when you only have one choice, THEIR choice, you'll maybe then sit back and ask what went wrong.
They should be taking classes on how our political system works, foreign affairs, and environmental impact s,to understand how complicated this is. Protest is part of the process to bring awareness to an issue but the come to the table with solutions. They need to understand that Theocracy’s, Authoritarian states, Autocrat’s and Dictators don’t care what you think. Make sure you know what is going on in the US because there is a real threat of losing your ability to have free speech and the right to assemble.
Protesters?.....They weren't arrested for protesting. They were arrested for trespassing or unlawful assembly. Shouldn't they at least be more accurately referred to as "trespassers"?
they are DEI / affirmative action students, they are also largely in humanities departments, which are statistically on the low/left end of the IQ and GPA bell curve.
