That night things turned to chaos following the beating of a Jewish woman.
When a jewish student ends up at the Emergency room, unconscious, hit violently in the head , is still FREE SPEECH ??????

The security that was hired to keep the pro-Palestine encampment and the pro-Israel encampment apart fled when things got too dangerous.
Who started what is being debated online? there’s no way to know. Tension hit a boiling point, and encampments ended up fighting in mutual combat for about 2 to 3 hours before police finally showed up.

Finally around LAPD seemed to restore some sort of order.
UCLA 🚨 3:20 am, LAPD has successfully cleared the area separating both factions. However, overhearing police, their orders are not to arrest anyone or clear the encampment, simply to separate both opposing protest groups. pic.twitter.com/i9NtEGdG5O
