So in conclusion, the "more permissive UC response" made protesters feel emboldened to push the line further by physically restraining, assaulting, and conducting citizen's arrests of Jewish students, physically blocking Jewish students from accessing campus, and chanting much more openly and obviously hateful and violent slogans than what we've seen at other protests.

This eventually led to counter-protesters conducting violent vigilantism when they no longer felt the police were ensuring the physical safety of UCLA's Jewish population.

And now the university has switched tactics and the police have arrested everyone and dismantled the encampment.

The lesson?  Well, who cares, I'm sure it will be quickly forgotten.

Provide a source for your claims, the protestors were not letting outside agitators inside of the encampment and the pro israel protestors were the ones who attacked the encampment on tuesday night by launching fireworks into the camp beating protestors with wooden blocks as well as releasing mice into the camp and spraying them with Mace.

None of what you've written here contradicts anything I said.

My claims have been widely documented by video footage and reporting from the UCLA campus.
