- Replying to @schwaarzyA fight broke out a few minutes ago at the top of the north campus stairs when a group of protesters attempted to stop Jonathan Choe from filming using umbrellas. Videos cannot verify who threw the first punch. Video footage was interrupted during the fight and is not complete.
