so, this is why i'm here
heh, this is what happens when our superiors cut funding and donate our tuition money to the military--
We are neither surprised nor concerned about peaceful demonstrations whenever Regents visit any UC campus. In fact, such demonstrations are time-honored ways for students and others to express their views.
What was both unexpected and completely unacceptable was pushing, kicking, biting, spitting, heaping verbal abuse, and throwing bottles and decayed fruit at staff and visitors, as occurred on Wednesday. Staff members, including our police officers, were verbally abused and physically injured. Guests from the community were pushed and spat upon. Regents, campus visitors, and others were trapped in the hall for nearly two hours before they could leave the building without the use of force.
Such actions crossed a line of behavior that put people's safety at risk. While many of the participants tried to remain peaceful, a significant part of the crowd became unruly and engaged in behavior that included violent and dangerous acts. These behaviors are unacceptable in any civil community
