A collective research effort has cropped up to name and shame the pro-Israel demonstrators who carried out violence at UCLA. Distrusting police to deliver justice, people are taking it upon themselves.
The online sleuths got to work within hours of violence sparking at UCLA this week. They grabbed videos of the mostly masked rioters who attacked the pro-Palestinian student encampment near the quad and tried to zoom in on faces. They pored over each frame, waiting for the moment masks slipped and faces were exposed to take screen grabs. Then, they uploaded those faces to X , Instagram and other social media platforms and beseeched the Internet to do its thing.
Despite the risks of sending an angry online mob after innocent people, some students at the encampment said they felt they had no choice. “We would like to protect ourselves by making these people known,' said 26-year-old Nicolette on Wednesday inside UCLA's encampment. She said she endured hours of terror as the men threw fireworks into the camp, blasted them with pepper spray and threw objects, including live mice, at them.
