FWIW, only seven of the 20 protestors were Pomona students.

I understand why charges were pressed: Safety. To my knowledge, the 5Cs never prosecuted any encamped protestors or forcibly removed the encampments, which likely violated trespass laws, probably because of free speech concerns and because the encampments themselves didn't pose a safety concern. But when 20 students storm into an individual's office, there are legitimate safety concern that override free speech policies. (Analogue: the January 6, 2021 storming of the Capital.) There's a huge distinction between (a) peacefully camping and/or marching in public spaces with placard signs, etc. and (b) physically barging into a building and then an individual's office. The protesters knew or should have known this as it's common sense. [/quote]
