In reply to the discussion: [UPDATE 1:50 P.M.] CAL POLY HUMBOLDT CAMPUS SEALED OFF AMID LAW ENFORCEMENT BUILDUP AND STUDENT PROTESTS [View all]PufPuf23
(9,918 posts)Cal Poly Humboldt is the largest and most influential progressive and Democratic leaning institution in Humboldt County, long the source of new and progressive ideas locally.
There is a major Native American Studies program at Cal Poly Humboldt because there are 5 major local Tribes (Yurok, Wyot, Karuk, Tolowa, and Hupa). The Tribes have increasing political and economic influence. There are hardened activists because of past environmental and NA protests, often with overlapping agendas. Personally. I do not always agree with the agendas or methods. Local right wingers and LE relish the idea of some major hippy punching and damaging the university. Humboldt County was home of Redwood Summer and LE using rags to rub pepper spray into protester's eyes (result was settlement of Humboldt County paid to protesters). Regardless of right or wrong on issues, the LE history is to escalate and abuse.
There are many pictures and videos including live stream at the link provided and one can see the escalation from the beginning. Note there are 11 major links at the bottom of this updated article.
