If a political figure was speaking on campus or if there was an actual protest, then yes, the police would expect "protesting, stupid, noncompliant college students". But certainly not for a simple ID check. "Protesting" an ID check is pretty stupid and asinine at best.

I agree with you Roach. I am a big fan of libraries, one of the great American institutions. But lately, libraries are no longer quiet safe havens. At least in LA. The libraries here are infested with homeless people who harrass patrons, and gangs too (yes gangs believe it or not), there to use the computers or just "chill". I no longer hang out at the library anymore as I find the environment to be quite hostile. I just order my books online and pick them up when they're ready. The less time spent at the library, the better. The libraries down the street has security. The last time I was at Powell, a fight broke out among some students. Might have been over a chair.
