UCLA became a flashpoint Tuesday night … with anti-Israel protesters turning violent.
Firecrackers were thrown, saturating people with pepper spray, as people ran in and around the crowd for their safety.
The university had declared the campus camp illegal and gave the demonstrators an ultimatum: leave now or face punishment. The warning was not heeded.
For some reason, Univ. Officials did not ask the LAPD for help until three hours after the disturbance.
Mayor LA Karen Bass cursed at the protesters, but so far no word from the governor Gavin Newsomwhich has designs for the White House in 2028.
Columbia University. also had a chaotic night, with NYPD police reclaim the building demonstrators took over. More than 100 people were arrested.
