Black student erupts on anti-Israel 'White libs' for blocking path on campus: 'Cosplaying as the oppressed'
A Black California student demanded “White men” get out of his way after some protesters from the anti-Israel encampment tried to block his passage through the area on campus.
Milagro Jones, a student at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), accused anti-Israel activists of racism after they told him to leave the area.
It was the second time this week that the protesters tried to block his passage. During the first incident, Jones was surrounded by protesters as they blocked his camera from recording, according to a FOX LA report.

During the most recent clash, Jones accused the anti-Israel activists of “discrimination.”
“Bro, I’m an African American. You are a White man telling me to leave a part of the campus. Do you want me to go to Jasmine Rush and show her a photo of you, the dean of students, and let her know that you was harassing me?” Jones said.
“Am I harassing you?” the anti-Israel activist at UCLA responded.
“You are. You’re asking me to leave a public place. You, as a White man, are asking an African-American student to leave a public area of UCLA campus. That’s called racial discrimination… Do you want to get out of my face now?” Jones replied.
A second activist chimed in, accusing Jones of being “an agitator on purpose.”
“I’m being an agitator? So you think the First Amendment is agitation?” Jones replied. “You’re two White men. You’re two White men blocking an African-American student from walking around on the campus.”
The second activist told Jones that he was free to go. “You can go wherever you want,” he said.
Jones, who was with his daughter at the time, explained that the other activist’s foot was blocking his child’s stroller.
“I’m allowed to go where I want? You seem to be blocking my daughter’s stroller from going forward… That’s a little weird, bro. You’re acting a little weird, bro,” he said.

The activist whose foot was blocking the stroller retorted, “I think right now you’re acting a little weird.”
“No, you’re gonna have to get on my case, bro. Sorry,” Jones said. “You’re following me. You’re sticking your hand in my face. You’re putting your arms up over me. You’re doing a lot of weird stuff, bro.”
A third activist joined his anti-Israel comrades insisting Jones leave the area, “We’re going to ask you to leave.”
Jones explained that the quad where the encampment was located was UCLA property and as a student he had every right to walk around.
“We’re politely asking you to leave,” the third activist repeated.
“I’m politely asking you to step outside. I’m a student here. Are you?” Jones responded.

“What, is the school a little too integrated for you? You’re trying to segregate the school or something?” Jones continued. “Look at these White liberals, bro. Look at these cosplayers. White liberals, White libs cosplaying as the oppressed, stopping the African-American student from accessing the school. Nothing new.”
Jones later explained in a video on TikTok why he raised the issue of race during the interaction.
“So, the reason why I keep flipping it around and bringing up race when I’m around these protesters is because that’s one of their trigger words,” he said. “I’m just flipping it around on ’em and telling him, like, ‘Hey, you’re stopping a Black guy from moving around the campus. Like, you’re always accusing other White people of being racist… So don’t you feel like what you’re doing is pretty racist, too?’” he said.

LAPD officer hit with felony charges after allegedly skydiving while collecting full disability benefits
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
Officials on Wednesday accused a Los Angeles police officer of insurance fraud after he allegedly went skydiving multiple times while collecting full disability benefits.
Christopher Brandon Carnahan, 43, of Norwalk, was charged Monday after allegedly exaggerating an on-duty injury sustained in 2023, according to the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office.
Carnahan is a veteran officer who has been with the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) 18 years, according to WatchTheWatchers.net, citing California public records.
“This case is about honesty and accountability,” Los Angeles County District Attorney Nathan J. Hochman said in a statement.

“Claiming to be temporarily totally disabled and collecting disability benefits intended for injured workers while engaging in physically demanding activities like skydiving is a crime. This is an officer who knows the law and understands the standards he is sworn to uphold.”
On May 22, 2023, Carnahan claimed he injured his left elbow while on duty and was subsequently placed on temporary totally disabled (TTD) status, officials said.
Police under TTD are entitled to receive 100% of their base salary tax-free for up to a year and then two-thirds afterward if the injury persists.

Contrary to claims of being completely disabled, Carnahan allegedly engaged in strenuous physical activity, including working out and completing “many skydives” at Skydive Elsinore in Lake Elsinore, south of Los Angeles.
The District Attorney’s Office also released photos showing what appears to be Carnahan skydiving and exercising at a fitness center. In one image, dated May 23, 2024, the LAPD officer is seen holding dumbbells in a motion that involves his elbows.

He faces two counts of felony insurance fraud and is being held on $100,000 bail. If convicted, Carnahan could be sentenced to six years in jail.
The LAPD, which is investigating the case, is expected to review Carnahan’s employment status pending the outcome of his criminal trial.

Hundreds Rally in San Francisco Against U.S.-Israel Strikes on Iran | KQED
She acknowledged that Iranian Americans hold a range of political views, including some who support U.S. intervention, but said she believes the future of Iran should be determined by its people.
“The Iranian people in Iran can decide the future of their country,” she said. “War, I don’t think, is going to help.”
Speaking to the crowd, Mortazavi challenged what she described as a narrative that Iranians broadly support U.S. and Israeli military action.
“They want you to believe that every Iranian … is cheering on the United States and Israel,” she said. “That is unequivocally false.”
She urged attendees to continue organizing beyond the rally and announced plans for additional demonstrations.
Dina Saadeh, an organizer with the Palestinian Youth Movement, said multiple groups mobilized quickly in response to the strikes.
“I’m angered today,” Saadeh told KQED. “People here don’t want to see our country engaged in more endless war.”
Saadeh described the protest as part of a broader effort to oppose sanctions, military escalation and what she called U.S. imperialism. She said participants were calling on elected officials to redirect public funds toward domestic needs.
“People want money for jobs and education, not for war and occupation,” she said.
