Attorney at @ ACLU of Southern California. Other things too.
UCLA also said they didn't illegally arrest anyone b/c there was widespread "lodging" (a crime in CA) that justified declaring the Encampment an unlawful assembly. The judge said no.
BTW, an unlawful assembly is used if you can't tell who is committing crimes and who isn't in an unruly crowd.

UCLA defended its decision to end the Encampment because there was violence from "both sides," even though admin told student activists that it was for their own safety. But that's a classic "heckler's veto." If a mob attacks speakers, you can't shut down the speech. You have to shut down the mob!
