to everyone who is afraid, please advise that the cal poly students have been the most willing to physically repel police and have suffered much less in terms of arrest or physical injury than basically anywhere else.

Incredible sights at UT Austin as the growing protest marches against retreating (and mace wielding) cops, to retake the south lawn they were forced from earlier. Protests will not stop until UT divests from all interests in Israel. Hartzell and Abbot can't intimidate us.
