If you're an Angeleno, (a resident of LA, for all of you out-of-towners) you have heard of the riots/protests on the UCLA campus. These riots are concerned with the 32% student fee increases for next year's budget. Yup. 32%. That's roughly $2,500 more. Well, as a student at UCLA, I have had firsthand experience with all the rioting and protesting. And let me tell you, it is real and it is crazy. Students have been tazed, arrested. As we speak, students are barricading Campbell Hall. So... needless to say, it's been pretty darn exciting on campus these last few days. Helicopters have been flying non-stop overhead. Yikes. Check out some photos and a cool video clip.
