Were those protests taking over buildings and assaulting people while locking students out of campus spaces?

I remember molotov cocktails.

As the reporting from the ground is showing, these aren't primarily students either. They're agitators being paid to cause problems.

Arrest reports have confirmed the media lied and the protesters are primarily students and faculty.
