The latest school to be hit by pro-Hamas protests is UC Irvine, where students took over a building, erected barricades, chanted “River to Sea” and other anti-Semitic slogans, and shielded themselves with umbrellas. In other words, the usual.

But UC Irvine’s administration did not respond as weakly as we have seen at so many other universities such as Harvard, Columbia and UCLA, where authorities have allowed violent camps to take over schools and leave students unwilling to return to life The cause is to make hell – especially Jewish.
No, they didn’t want to accept it and immediately called in law enforcement.
In a statement to Fox News Digital, a UC Irvine spokesperson said chaos erupted on campus after several hundred protesters entered the Physical Sciences lecture hall on the California campus at 2:30 p.m. PST and began barricading the building.
The university said they made a call local law enforcement agencies and received immediate assistance from the Irvine Police Department and the Orange County Sheriff’s Department.
After hundreds of Anti-Israel protesters As the number of people flooded campus buildings and set up barricades at the University of California, Irvine, local law enforcement responded and students were ordered to “shelter in place” on Wednesday.
And these officials were prepared for whatever lay ahead:
Footage from the campus showed police in protest gear and carrying semi-automatic rifles clashing with anti-Israel agitators.

The administration had previously canceled classes for the day and warned students to shelter in place:
Authorities said the protesters who entered campus Wednesday afternoon joined the established camp that had occupied the campus since April 29.
In a post on
“The protest escalated near the Physical Science Quad. Avoid the area,” the social media post said. “If you are in the area, please shelter in place until further notice for your safety.”
“We continue to monitor the situation and urge people to stay away from campus,” the school said.
However, some of the extremists being arrested may soon be in for a shock, as Fox News reporter Bill Melugin noted:
The Orange County District Attorney isn’t kidding. If any of these protesters are arrested, they will not receive treatment in LA. https://t.co/sX2OES1Pih

He refers to the Republican district of Orange County Todd Spitzer, who isn’t a dim-witted criminal prosecutor like LA County’s George Gascón, who would watch someone steal a car and do nothing about it. Spitzer actually did it heavily criticized Gascón has been criticized in the past for his criminal actions. So if his office gets involved, don’t expect the vandalistic, anything but “peaceful” protesters to be treated with ice cream.
This situation still exists at the time of writing and we will keep you updated as necessary.

Harvard University’s pro-Hamas camp is ending and administrators should be ashamed
