EXPLAINED: Arrests at stanford for trespass and vandalism - The Real Truth

From today's statement by Stanford President Richard Saller and Provost Jenny Martinez; Newsweek (Jesus Mesa) reports that the graffiti include "FUCK AMERIKKKA," "DE@ATH 2ISR@HELL," "Kill cops," and "PIGS TASTE BEST DEDAD":

Dear Stanford community,

We are appalled and deeply saddened by the actions that occurred on our campus earlier today.

As you know from earlier alerts that were sent out, a group of protesters broke into and occupied Building 10 early this morning until they were arrested and removed by law enforcement. A public safety officer was injured by protesters as part of the response to the occupation.

In addition to damage done inside the building, protesters committed extensive graffiti vandalism on the sandstone buildings and columns of the Main Quad this morning. This graffiti conveys vile and hateful sentiments that we condemn in the strongest terms. Whether the graffiti was created by members of the Stanford community or outsiders, we expect that the vast majority of our community joins us in rejecting this assault on our campus.
