“The people united will never be defeated,” the chain of protesters now circling the former encampment shouted.
Police have not yet approached the encampment. Hundreds of onlookers watch from the outside and from the balcony that hangs over the student center.
At MIT, where counter protesters are singing “God Bless America,” while some 300 students and protesters tirelessly chant “Hey hey, ho ho, the occupation has got to go” right across the barrier of Cambridge police bikes.

something about her “defense” being that they “always were touchy with each other so it was ok” really rubbed me the wrong way. yes, it’s great to have a comfortable relationship with someone but you still have boundaries ESPECIALLY when unconscious
Around 6:30 p.m., an outside agitator who announced himself as “Bucket Boy News 401” aggressively entered MIT’s encampment and began shouting at students, asking why they support Palestine, among other questions about supporting “terrorism.”
The exchange lasted about 10 minutes

Halfway through the 26.2 mile Boston Marathon route, screaming Wellesley students can be found offering kisses to runners.
Read about the storied tradition, back in full swing this year, here:
Just five days ago, a mass of state troopers swarmed Centennial Common, arresting about 100 people. Many say the coordinated effort by a hired moving company and police was planned by admin long before an agitator said "Kill the Jews."
A pit bull attack at the Regency Plaza Monday resulted in the death of a small dog - and frustration from residents about a lack of accountability from building management.

At around 8 p.m. Friday, Northeastern's External Affairs VP Michael Armini told me, "At some point we have to prepare for commencement," while looking out at the encampment on the common. That morning, he told me admin had a "game plan."
It’s unclear where the unaffiliated adult counter protesters came from, or what organization, if any, they are part of.
Some pro-Palestinian demonstrators faced off with the counterprotest, while scores of protesters continued to chant “Disclose, divest!”
MIT Faculty of Concerned Alliance, a group of 60 plus faculty members who support and offer guidance to student protesters, set up a refreshment booth, handing out water, gatorade, and bananas.

The missing teenage boy was found dead in the woods around Newport State Airport earlier this morning by Middletown, Newport, and Portsmouth police departments and the US Marshal's Fugitive Task Force. Police say no foul play is suspected.
At hour 45 covering the encampment at Northeastern University, here's a look at the most fiery part of the protest around midnight, involving heated scuffle between Pro-Palestine protesters and two Pro-Israel students.
Arguing continued between students, with two adult women advising encampment protesters to “not engage.” Though they are both lawyers, they told the Globe they are simply here to “observe” and “make sure protesters don’t agitate counterprotesters and get captured on video.”
