ABC 7 reported that some protesters at Cal State broke off from a campus encampment to demonstrate in front of the university’s Student Services building.
They proceeded to pile up numerous objects in front of the building’s entrance, using overturned golf carts, tables, and other pieces of furniture to create a barricade.
Some “chained themselves outside the main entrance.” University spokesperson Erik Hollins claimed that protesters had taken control of the first floor and blocked the building’s pathways, the Los Angeles Times reported.
The President of Cal State and other faculty were held hostage last night by pro-Hamas terr*rists in one of the university’s buildings.
Not one condemnation of this by any California Democrats in Congress or by Joe Biden.
Imagine if MAGA had done this. pic.twitter.com/XbHeAvp1SK

The school’s president, Dr. Berenecea Johnson Eanes, is “sheltering in place.” Her office is located on the building’s eighth floor, and employees above the first floor were given the shelter-in-place order.
The protesters denied any wrongdoing, however. The Students for Justice in Palestine at CSU Los Angeles took to Instagram to refute claims of anyone being held hostage.
“AGAIN, LETS BE CLEAR: It’s Cal State LA telling you to shelter in place, to lock your doors,” SJP posted. “We are students who demand DIVESTMENT. DISCLOSURE. It’s Cal State LA who is holding you “hostage” in their COMPLACENCY of funding GENOCIDE.”
The post has been removed and the account suspended, but their comments are ridiculous. It’s their fault, and the people inside the building were terrorized and unable to leave.
Hopefully, if they are students, they will be expelled. We need to see arrests. Why aren’t they imprisoned?
These radicals are getting worse.
Imagine if these were Trump supporters.
Lights are on in the student services building. It is still unconfirmed if President Eanes is in there or not. pic.twitter.com/e4qpQwdYK5

last I checked there were over 20 campi of CSU…why does the author assume everyone knows s/he is talking about Cal State LA, formerly the Diablos, now the Woke Wimps?
the caption on the video told me which one it was.
Kent State. An idea ahead of its time.
Their little Frankenstein’s monsters are coming home to roost..
This is the first time I’m hearing about this. Not a peep from MSM.
This is a law enforcement problem, no different than the cities.
Cal Tech and Cal State are different.
