    The real headline (maybe LA Times changed it after this was posted):

    UCLA cancels classes after counterprotesters violently attack pro-Palestinian camp

    Snippets from the article:

    Just before midnight, a large group of counterdemonstrators, wearing black outfits and white masks, arrived on campus and tried to tear down the barricades surrounding the encampment. Campers, some holding lumber and wearing goggles and helmets, rallied to defend the encampment’s perimeter.

    A group of security guards could be seen observing the clashes but did not move in to stop them.

    At around 1:40 a.m., police officers in riot gear arrived, and some counterprotesters began to leave. But the police did not immediately break up the clashes at the camp, which continued despite the law enforcement presence.

    “It gives people impunity to come to our campus as a rampaging mob,” she said early Wednesday. “The word is out they can do this repeatedly and get away with it. I am ashamed of my university.”

    I bet dollars to donuts there were fascists in that group who hate Jews but just wanted cover to go bash some Leftists.
