5. Potential and justified paranoia about level of violence.

Bad situation that would be better if not occurred to this level IMO.

Police have already harmed protestors. There are pictures of bloodied and stitched heads at the links below the posted article.

Humboldt has a major Native American studies program because of political and economic rise of north coast Tribes.

Cal Poly Humboldt is a large source of new and more progressive to Humboldt County, more conservative residents tend to view Humboldt students in a negative light.

Much harm will come to Cal Poly Humboldt regardless of the right or wrong of the issues that ignited the mess.

Humboldt County is comparatively rural and remote. Authorities likely can be more direct than in an urban setting with more media.

Hope the MSM lands in Humboldt.
