U. Pennsylvania Students Arrested While Attempting to Take Over and ‘Occupy’ Campus Building
“19 arrests following the protest at the university’s Fisher Bennett Hall”
This is the new version of Occupy Wall Street. They use many of the same tactics and words.

19 UPenn anti-Israel protesters arrested after attempt to occupy building: police
Nineteen anti-Israel agitators were arrested at the University of Pennsylvania on Friday night, after hundreds of protesters descended onto a campus building and attempted to occupy it.
Police confirmed to Fox News Digital that there were 19 arrests following the protest at the university’s Fisher Bennett Hall.
According to the university, six students were among those arrested, while 12 people were cited for failure to disperse, among other charges. Twelve individuals were later released, FOX 29 reported.
The university confirmed that seven other people are still in custody and are awaiting felony charges, including one for assault of a police officer.
The UPenn Police Department announced in a community notice that a “large disorderly crowd” began gathering at 8 p.m. Friday, and moved into Fisher Bennett Hall on the university’s campus and attempted to occupy it.
Law enforcement advised students to “avoid the immediate area.”
Campus police, along with assistance from the Philadelphia Police Department, escorted the protesters from the building.

Comments
The Ghost of Patton says, “Those bilious little twerps are making a big mistake taking a campus building and ‘holding their position.’ They’re not holding on to anything.”
Six of the nineteen arrested were actually Penn students—less than one third. This shows how the anti-Israeli agitation is being led by outsiders. When news reports say “Penn students . . .” they imply a broad representation among the student body, which is not the case.
The neighborhood around Penn is teeming with unbathed “anarchist” squatters, aging hippie retreads, pseudo-radical “activists” and a lot of just plain mental patients. They show up right on cue at any opportunity to be pests and losers.
