Ten people were arrested in Tampa on Tuesday when cops shut down the riots at the USF campus that I posted about. Atah Othman (bottom, second from right) was carrying a firearm tucked in his waistband, even though it is illegal to do so.
Though the Tampa Bay Students for a Democratic Society was suspended by USF last week for causing a disruption on campus, the group was allowed to hold a protest Tuesday near the Martin Luther King Jr. Plaza on campus, Fox 13 reported. They were given a 5 p.m. deadline to end their rally and leave the property.
100 protesters showed up to campus, many of them not associated with USF, bringing with them various items including wood shields, umbrellas and tents.
Just before 5 p.m., law enforcement warned protesters they had 15 minutes to leave before tear gas and rubber bullets would be used to disperse them. Tear gas was used on them around 5:15 p.m. and the area was cleared by about 6 p.m. Supporters call the use of tear gas on protesters “a violation of human rights.”
“We at Florida Palestine Network strongly condemn USF police department’s violent use of chemical munition and brutality to disperse student encampment protesters in solidarity with Palestinians in Gaza. The use of force against peaceful protestors is a violation of human rights and undermines the principles of free speech and assembly, Since the inception of the encampment, USF administration had initiated aggression and violence against students. They have escalated and compounded this aggression through reinforcement of local police forces to silence students and violently refuse divestment demands. We want to be clear that commitment to the Palestine liberation movement will only grow as the state continues its violent crackdown.”

I have some interesting intelligence to share. That will be coming in another post soon. I am filing this post under the category ‘Antifa’ because, well, let’s face it, they are all related, aren’t they?

What are the odds that over half of them would randomly be of Middle Eastern origin? Not the way that I would bet.

The spicy summer of ‘mostly peaceful protests’ is starting early.

Read earlier that most colleges are 50% plus foreigners.
Is that why Brandon cancelled the student loan debt?
That pier they are building in Gaza at $20 million?
That is to bring them here faster.

And the number of arrestees who are actual currently-enrolled students at USF is….?

This is all an astro-turfed and catered “protest”, with Soros’ full backing.
Swap out the rubber bullets for brass-cased lead, and kick this thing off once and for all.
Then arrest that sad sonofabitch, prosecute him for funding terrorism, and get him a Waterboard Suite at the GITMO Hilton.
This crap will disappear like fog on a July morning.

“student encampment protesters in solidarity with Palestinians in Gaza. The use of force against peaceful protestors”
Setting up camp in the public square and surpassing your rally time limit is not peaceful. It is passive aggressive violence. “Come make me! I dare you!” is fighting words.

I know everyone in college doesn’t have to be about 20. Heck, I graduated at 34 and went back for more. But that Atah Othman dude sure doesn’t look like a college student. Plus, carrying a gun? I’m guessing “ring leader.”
Ties to Hamas? Islamic Jihad? Iran?

I hope you have time to perform some analysis on the videos like you did a few years ago, revealing the C&C structure driving this. THAT is what we need, not the impulse reaction spraying down the blog comments here with testosterone but the ability to be in a crowd and ID some clown standing off to the side in a shemagh and sunglasses and ID his comm gear so we can tag him with UV dye (or Ebola, your choice).

Funny you should ask. Spent the morning building intel profiles on 7 of the 10 arrested.
