Though it was a calmer protest, there's still that same frustration, some of it targeted at USC itself. Someone even spray-painted the words 'Say no to genocide' on the base of the Tommy Trojan statue.
Pro-Palestinian protesters returned to the USC campus Saturday night to once again denounce the Israel-Hamas war.
"They rekindled it," said Elias Gerald, a USC student of the protest. "Students got together and put up tents and signs and colorful messages."

"I wasn't a big fan of all the other random adults from the L.A. area coming on campus."
