NEIGHBORHOOD GIVEN INDIAN TREATY -
BSC, CA – The demolition of the north
east end of UCR's campus for the STEM High School Project noted in
the last School Board Meeting by the Oversee Measure O Committee
seems to have started, as per instructions from the out-of-control
Chancellor at UCR. The first stirrings of demolition started around
July 22th as tarp fencing was thrown up to obscure the
view. Still, it is hard to mistake the sound of heavy equipment bustling around.

As a way to give the neighborhood the
finger and keep the students too busy with fall admissions, the
illegal Measure O project commenced on the side furthermost from any
student activity and closest to the neighbors, to show the neighbors
who is in control, the University; not the people who will be
disrupted by the extra traffic brought in. if you could see the
aerial view of the neighborhood, you would see just how dense this
area is. Plus the hood is backed up against the hills. It's a box
canyon.
Of course none of this is surprising to
any observer to UCR's back history with this neighborhood. In fact,
the neighborhood took UCR to court, and won; except somebody forgot
to tell UCR that news. Or maybe like today's Dems and the 2016
elections, they just didn't except the news. When you narrow down the
driving force behind this project and the egos involved, well, there
seems to be only one recourse left for the folks being treated like
Indians. Where is Perry Mason, oh wait, that's the made up world
where morality exists. More pictures after the jump.
