UCLA students describe violent attack on Gaza protest encampment: ‘It was terrifying’ theguardian.com/us-news/2024/m…

“The life-threatening assault we face tonight is nothing less than a horrifying, despicable act of terror,” UC Divest at UCLA said in the statement. “Law enforcement simply stood at the edge of the lawn and refused to budge as we screamed for their help.”

Shortly before 3:30 a.m., four Daily Bruin reporters were walking on campus when they were followed and then assaulted.

Zionist groups dressed like Proud Boys violently attack UCLA students while police do nothing.

“You stand no chance, old lady!”

Pro-Israel rioters at UCLA acting like total cartoon villains

They will spin what happened at UCLA as violence on “both sides” but we all saw what happened on our phones.

I have been here watching this for 2 hours like this.

Counter protestors at UCLA are attacking the encampment
In bursts, in view of the police, tearing down the fence and punching/throwing things each time.

40min since police arrived.

Exactly 1 hour after arriving at UCLA, police move in closer and counter-protestors move away, leaving the the encampment alone.

12:44 AM: #UCLA . Security isn’t doing anything.

What is happening at UCLA right now is strategy that I recognize from Turkey. The police outsourcing violence to fascist mobs.

Another large round of gas was released at around 12:23 a.m.

Counter-protesters just threw a firework at the encampment.

UCLA needs to be de-escalated NOW.

This is a disaster at ucla

I have never been so frightened in my adult life @ucla

Im ending my shift. More thoughts later. I was sprayed by Zionists along with everyone else tonight. Attempts to characterize this as if both sides started it will be completely false.
