Pro-Palestinian protestors attempt to seize buildings at Penn, Chicago universities [View all]

May 18 (UPI) -- Police in Philadelphia and Chicago ended attempts by pro-Palestinian protesters to take over buildings at the University of Pennsylvania and the University of Chicago Friday.

Protestors gathered around 8 p.m. Friday in the University City area of West Philadelphia and entered Penn's Fisher-Bennett Hall at Walnut and 34th streets local media reported.

Penn Gaza Solidarity members said they intended to occupy the university building before police arrived.

University police and Philadelphia Police stopped the attempted takeover and arrested several protesters, some of whom fought with police.

Glad the police were able to stop this fucking nonsense in its tracks.
I hope those that fought and assaulted the cops are tried, found guilty and sentenced to the max term possible and with a felony on their record, good luck finding work.

They're FA and now they're about to FO.

Fighting the police is not non-violent action RandomNumbers May 18 #16

where you on the copper's side in 1968 (or retroactively approve if you are too young to have seen it then)? Celerity May 18 #18

I don't approve violence on ANY side. RandomNumbers May 18 #19

This is a BS post, MarineCombatEngineer May 18 #21

No it isn't. The US has funded Israel with hundreds of billions of dollars since 1948, more than any other nation, and Celerity May 18 #22

So I guess the the US giving Ukraine weapons to fight the Russian invasion is also unjust? MarineCombatEngineer May 18 #23

Chalk and cheese. Russia is not a self-proclaimed liberal democracy, and it certainly doesn't claim to be Celerity May 18 #25
