Overnight, the LAPD started moving in on the UCLA campus 'encampment' set up by the anti-Israel protesters as part of a nationwide string of antisemitic, violent, and insane 'protests' that aren't just about Israel, really.

The protesters knew police were going to try to remove them, and fortified the encampment:

It seemed to work, at least initially, with police falling back.
UCLA has allowed their campus to be taken over by extremists and now law enforcement is struggling to get control of the situation and has had to retreat.pic.twitter.com/C0txnznz8q

Would any other group get to so openly defy law enforcement and get away with it?

The, Police. Withdrew.
🚨California Highway Patrolmen in riot gear are attempting to breach one side of the UCLA encampment. Occupiers rushed with people and shields to push back against the officers. So far CHP has not broken through this route. pic.twitter.com/sn4921iEos

How are they not all arrested and charged with -- at a minimum -- resisting arrest?
We thought no one was above the law.
Absolute chaos right now. Occupiers are trying to hold the main makeshift wall as police repeatedly fire flashbangs. pic.twitter.com/tDXA5eQKtv

Riot police are gaining ground bit by bit into the UCLA encampment. With a majority of the makeshift wall down, occupiers formed a human wall and are resisting the officers. pic.twitter.com/aPpnuNEUDY
