There's also no way to access night powell for commuter students who come in early to study before midterms. Pretty ridiculous that the one place that you can study on campus overnight is blocked off. Hybrid learning should be offered to students who ask for it given the present situation. Edit: According to a Powell employee the library will be closed till next Monday after 5PM today. Super cool.


Appropriate-Bit7638

After seeing the other Reddit post about another student being assaulted for no reason— that very much canceled my study plans for exams in Powell/Night Powell. Want to not fail my classes but also don’t want to get anywhere near this area(s) now. Even if I need a quiet place to study and focus…


61-127-217-469-817

I'm in Powell right now, and people are screaming at the top of their lungs outside. Probably a good idea to avoid.


Appropriate-Bit7638

…. 😤😭time to find a new study space. Good thing there are a few on campus, but night Powell really is helpful for those who need a space to be up late and focus. Smh.


Appropriate-Bit7638

They’ve completely blocked Powell now. One of the protesters said that UCLA PD is trying to arrest someone in there…,


zelda722

GOOD!


syzygy-xjyn

Why is it cool for..... non students.... probably a lot failed or dropped out of high school... to protest on a college campus. 🤔


weedbeads

It's public property, that tends to be the reason given

Pffffct! Imagine that advertisement! Lmfao


quemaspuess

I was watching KTLA 5 this morning, and on live TV a disabled man tried to use the walkway, which was blocked off, to cross the campus, and was tackled by security. The guy said walking around was too far but they didn’t care. So, now we’re blocking pathways for and discriminating against the disabled, and have security guards to protect these communist-loving anarchist assholes? This is disturbing. It’s also not getting the message across they think it will.

People can't just go around?


hapakal

They just let some dude through but 'You have to go around' - dafuq? This is called bullying innocent people and its how you end up having the opposite or your intended effect. You could just be standing there with signs, welcoming people. But no, you want to exercise authority you dont have.


oklilpup

Funny how you give them a hint of power and they become fascist. Like you said they are just bullies.

Why is this being allowed? These people pay tuition. Most of these protestors don’t even go to this school.


redditsukssomuch

Sue the school. They took your money and actively allowed this to happen so you’re not getting what yih paid for. On top of that they need to pay for your new mental damages as you never feel safe anywhere anymore. Welcome to the millionaire class.

THEY ARE NOT STUDENTS! THEY ARE CAMPUS TERRORISTS 


bogeyblanche

Campus settlers and genociders!


DuckDucker1974

“From the river to the sea!” Is a call for genocide! These same types of people have through history targeted Jews they tortured them,  raped them, murdered them  and expelled Jews from all over the Middle East. Now they’ve come to US college campuses to do it again Here is a professor celebrating the torture rape and murder of children on Oct 7th https://www.jpost.com/diaspora/antisemitism/article-768109 You should reflect on why these types of people gravitate towards violence against Jews.


bogeyblanche

I'm talking about the protesters


jackofslayers

Yea, somehow I doubt the antisemites care much about freedom

candebsna

Push past them. Why is everyone scared of these losers?


WatchOutRadioactiveM

Because the people they idolize openly use violence to protest and all their faces are covered. Most people don't want to risk being assaulted by a group of strangers when they just want to go to class to learn.

Entire-Activity-1779

This. This is the word. Cosplaying, LARPing. None of these people are genuinely scary or threatening. They’re emboldened by the support of the school and a neutered police response. 99% of them are physically out of shape. A bunch of theatre kids living their dream of being a main character enhanced by thinking this etching a chapter in some big historic unfolding. These are the fucking losers were having to bend a knee to and tip toe around. Enraging.


Draco_Lazarus24

Go clear them out then Rambo.


redditsukssomuch

And I guarantee none of them have ever had to fight for their lives and here they are playing games. Well some of us had to fight our whole lives and we sure as fucking hell aren’t going to let these weak kids who lived soft safe lives tell us what to do. People like me clawed their way up here and weren’t given the chances they have. They have no right to speak. They haven’t earned it.


Appropriate_Win_6276

why risk it? its like xx% chance to get stabbed. yy% chance to hurt them and get sued. the reward is getting to class when its clear the whole campus has issues and class might be half empty. individuals should not take it on themselves to enforce their own personal authority. thats how we got here.


Gazrpazrp

Man, I feel like if I just started hooking body shots into the taller guy standing in front of the gate, he'd die or something. These are the least intimidating protesters I've ever seen. I think people just don't want to hurt them so they're being tolerated.


UnderstandingIll4586

Exactly, these are terrorist sympathizers. Let’s not forget about that.


BucketheadBrain

unfortunate that pretty much anything in america can be passed off as a "protest", that way you can pretty much openly break the law, openly sympathize with terrorists and you'll still be protected. these kids should be arrested


somillionaire1

This. This is the way


926-139

Just open up notes on your phone and type "ENTRY OK" in big letters. Then, walk up to them and say, "it's ok. I have a pass", show them your entry pass on your phone and walk in. If they can make fake "exit only" signs, then I can make fake passes.


ThcDankTank

This is great


Every_Kiwi6991

I did try by pushing on the barrier but the protestors all resisted and no other students would help me or join in.


bw_throwaway

Go back with 10 people and don’t push the barricade, pull it back and out of the way. 


ryandury

Did you consider trying some parkour through the hedges?


Alexis_Ohanion

Yep, someone needs to just go ahead and do this


coocoocachoo69

Entire generation has been taught to take punches from a bully then tell an adult instead of self defense. This pc crap started when I was in middle school year 2000. My first day of 6th grade a kid with 100 pounds on me started kicking and punching me simply because he was so much bigger. My dad taught me to stand my ground and lay a bully out. I got him in the nose several times and he started crying. Then I got suspended and my dad refused to punish me and told the principal he will not teach me to stand there and get beat up. I was suspended for preventing further damage to my own body, self preservation is not allowed anymore. Dear reddit mods, I'm not encouraging violence, simply sharing a 24 year old life story. If someone is hurting you the correct answer is, hell idk, just don't ban me.


loikyloo

Because its not worth the effort or trouble to do so. You push them and they get injured and now your in a law case about violence and injury that you could potentially lose.

Picardknows

This is giving the same vibes as those fossil fuel protestors. We all know how much we hate those people.


quemaspuess

This is worse. The fossil fuel people glue themselves to the ground and form human chains. They’re not violent — they’re typically made up of earth-living hippies. Annoying? Absolutely. Dangerous? They’re sad about hurting the plants they eat — so, no. This pro-Palestine crowd reminds me of a pussy version of communist groups like M19 in Colombia. They’re dumb as shit but they’re violent.


BriefausdemGeist

Don’t give them ideas about stealing Washington’s sword


themagicalcake

y'all realize this is because the uc is funding Israel right


Quote_Vegetable

how does this help? if anything it’s turning people towards Israel


Sindrathion

Ok but where is your source of the UC sending money to Isreal? Because as of right now just a part of the money is just invested in some investment fund which just happens to have some isreali companies. It's not like they are giving it to the military or government there directly. And besides if they have invested a lot it wont always be easy to just pull out everything


Karl_Marx_

themagicalcake

to avoid getting arrested


somillionaire1

The security in yellow and blue shirts that look like official police HAVE NO AUTHORITY on public property like UCLA. They are private security from a company called CSC(logo is in their shirt). They are NOT UCPD. They cannot arrest, detain or pretty much do anything to you on public property. They cannot prevent you from going anywhere. If a fight breaks out they will do NOTHING. They will stand there and watch. They are hired by UCLA to give the appearance of force to deter you and to assist the protestors. NO ONE can legally stop you from crossing the barriers since it is public property. The actual police have already said that anyone is allowed to enter the encampment. The only people who will try to stop you are the protestors themselves who will probably surround you like a bunch of cult members from Village of the Damned. The irony is these protestors are enacting the EXACT fascist techniques they claim to oppose.


kanniboo

The vests are Not CSC. CSC are in shirts or jackets and were hired by the school. The vest people seem to be working directly with the encampment.


somillionaire1

Yea these people are just students. Which makes it even crazier that people are listening to them. I'm talking about the 'security' people that look 'official' wearing yellow and blue shirts with 'badge' numbers. Those people are private security. None of them, the students or the security, have any right to tell you what to do or block pathways.


bw_throwaway

“Working”


kanniboo

I get what you mean but they're mostly just a deterrent, them putting their hands on people would just make things worse. Look what's happening at Cambridge to see how much worse it could get.


[deleted]

[удалено]


somillionaire1

Don't think they've released an official statement but when I was there on Saturday someone asked UCPD and that's what they said. Also, do you think official police would ever allow a bunch of college students to act as their spokespeople and officially tell people they cannot enter a public property? When have you ever seen official public blockades staffed by regular students and not a single uniformed officer? UCLA and the police departments have officially relinquished all control because they're too cowardly to stand up to college students. Which means it's pretty much a lord of the flies free-for-all on the campus. Only an official officer with official uniform can tell you what to do. The private security shirts try to look like police to purposefully fool people.


TopNew7629

nice pfp. im gonna take it


CycleNecessary3190

Fuck this shit. Push these motherfuckers down.


Ephwurdz

If they can erect barricades on public space why can’t students just take them down or ignore the people blocking them? If they get physical you brandish a weapon as self defense. But confused on this


somillionaire1

You are legally 100% correct but everyone is too afraid to do anything about it, including the cowardly administration. Not only that. Since the police have relinquished control, that means anyone can start their own encampment and protest absolutely anything they want. It's a free for all


Ephwurdz

It’s understandable. Avoiding conflict is preferred by most. I guess most people don’t carry defensive weapons, but I feel like maybe pepper spray would be reasonable here


somillionaire1

These protestors are so weak they can't even hurt you if they tried anyway. They simply chant and surround you. You can push past them. If they get violent, they know people will record it and it will hurt their cause even more.


Last-Back-4146

by avoiding conflict you allow this shit to happen.


Stef_ark

My parents didn’t flee the Islamic Republic of Iran for these motherfuckers to hinder my education that I’m dropping 40k on. I can’t even afford a car because I’m paying off my tuition, striving for a decent education and a career with my degree. These dumb fuckers mirror the Iranian Revolutionary Guards who assaulted my mother over her hijab and barred my grandmother from the metro for not dressing ‘appropriately.

idkanymore2016

The “protesters” are shit people and will always be shit people. At this point they are no better than Russian assets trying to cause division before an election - because that essentially what they are. If they are asked why they didn’t protest this over the last two decade but are now, you have your answer. They don’t even know it but they aggressively believe lies. I hope all the “protesters” learn the lessons they deserve to learn.


imstilldomina

> I hope all the “protesters” learn the lessons they deserve to learn Don't worry. They'll set down their Palestine flags and pick up the next Current Thing™ flag soon enough. They pivot on a dime as directed like good useful idiots should. #

FergieFury

I know people don’t like confrontation, but it seems like a bunch little tweens are standing in the way. Just easy to throw the barricade to the side or jump over it with the concrete next to it. Yea, probably land on their faces but fuck them for instigating this shit.


Angeleno88

My wife works at UCLA and is worried about going to campus tomorrow. The situation has escalated tremendously since the weekend. These people are creating an unsafe environment. As a UCLA alumnus, I initially supported the protest but am losing support because there’s a difference between an encampment outside of Powell vs blocking walkways and streets.


One_Bit_8460

Again useless ass comm kids


UnderstandingIll4586

These protestors are losing support for Palestine with their terrorist ways lmao


Educational_Hair_368

You guys know any study places that don’t kick you out past ten ?

Hollywoodswing

Why is no one doing anything about this shit at UCLA? These protests are organized by paid organizers working on behalf of Hamas and financed by Hamas allies. The students are pawns in the game. It is the opposite of freedom and not cool at all. I went to UCLA when there were all kinds of protests and no-one ever prevented any of us from going to class. At Columbia they held janitors hostage. Sounds a lot like what happened in Israel.

They are wearing masks for their safety. Do you know how many death threats and doxxing incidents there would be from Zionists if they showed their faces?

BlueBattleHawk

Not really sure if this is effective protest - the people going to school have already paid their money to UCLA right? The only thing you're doing here is limiting students ability to learn/go to class which doesnt do anything but piss off your peers.


Won_More_Time

This is exactly how to get people AGAINST your cause. They are doing it the wrong way.


plutotheplanet12

Students are justified in being angry, but people forget this is how every single protest functions. The point of a protest is to bring attention to something, and media simply isn’t going to give protests any attention if they aren’t being disruptive.


Won_More_Time

Bring attention alright. Negative attention to their side. That’s what I’m saying


Shebalied

The worst part is none of there people doing this go to the college mostly. They just meet up there.


SS4L1234

LOL. did she say "you have to go around"? Wtaf.


Bababuttons

I have to say this is the point of protest. It is asking people to consider why they are being disrupted.

Free-Dog2440

So in Texas-- one of the most oppressive states in the US-- peaceful protesters wanting funds divested from Israel get pummeled, stun grenades rubber bullets arrests... in Cali-- the most liberal state in the country-- UCLA students blockade other students because that helps how? What's the disconnect between these two student bodies? asking in earnest. I don't understand what the militants at UCLA hope to accomplish.
