Future Terrorists? These Are 10 Anti-Israel Protesters Arrested At The University Of South Florida – Do They Look Like College Students?

(Fox News) Ten protesters at an anti-Israel rally that quickly became chaotic were arrested Tuesday at the University of South Florida campus after authorities deployed tear gas.

Around 75 to 100 protesters arrived at the Tampa college campus Tuesday morning, including some not affiliated with the university, with wood shields, umbrellas and tents, school police said.

 

As the day progressed, authorities saw social media posts where participants expressed the intent to bring weapons to resist university staffers and campus police, authorities said.

The arrests came after dozens of protesters gathered near Martin Luther King Jr. Plaza on campus for a rally, the same location where three people were arrested on Monday for similar protests. The university gave a 5 p.m. deadline for protesters to disperse. 

After declaring that the demonstration was no longer lawful, police moved in with tear gas to force agitators to move before making arrests.

Of the 10 people arrested, Atah Othman, 39, brought a firearm to the protest, police said. He is charged with trespass on property other than structure or conveyance, unlawful assembly, possession of a firearm on school property and resisting officer without violence.

He was released on bond just after midnight on Wednesday.

The others arrested were identified as: Adnan Elyaman, 20, who is charged with unlawful assembly, trespass on property other than structure or conveyance and resisting officer without violence.

Anas Khalid Juma, 21, faces charges of resisting officer without violence, unlawful assembly and trespass on property other than structure or conveyance. Bailey Wagner, 24, is charged with unlawful assembly, trespass on property other than structure or conveyance and resisting officer without violence.
