OUT YOUR BRACKET. NOW TO VANDALISM ON THE UW-MILWAUKEE CAMPUS. SOMEONE BROKE A WINDOW AND WROTE THE WORDS FREE PALESTINE ON THE GOLDA MEIR LIBRARY. THATS ON HARTFORD AVENUE BETWEEN DOWNER AND MARYLAND. 12 NEWS EMILY POFAHL SPOKE TO STUDENTS ABOUT THE VANDALISM. UW MILWAUKEE POLICE SAY THAT THEYRE INVESTIGATING THIS CASE OF VANDALISM AT GOLDA MEIR LIBRARY ON CAMPUS SUNDAY NIGHT. THE WINDOW IS STILL BOARDED UP AND THE SPRAY PAINT IS STILL ON THE WALLS. UW MILWAUKEE POLICE SQUADS PARKED OUTSIDE THE LIBRARY SUNDAY NIGHT. UM, POLICE SAY TWO PEOPLE THREW AN OBJECT THROUGH THE WINDOW OF THE LIBRARY AND SPRAY PAINTED THE WORDS FREE PALESTINE. EARLY SATURDAY MORNING, PEOPLE SOMETIMES MIGHT TAKE IT TOO FAR. UM, BUT AGAIN, I FEEL EVERYONE HAS THE RIGHT TO PROTEST. AND SHARE THEIR BELIEFS ON CAMPUS IS PRETTY EXTREME BECAUSE, LIKE YOU BREAKING A WINDOW THAT LIKE YOU DIDNT LIKE PAY FOR OR ANYTHING, GOLDA MEIR, A FORMER PRIME MINISTER OF ISRAEL, MOVED TO MILWAUKEE AS A CHILD AND ATTENDED SCHOOL AT WHAT IS NOW UM. LAST MONTH, THE UM GROUP STUDENTS FOR A DEMOCRATIC SOCIETY HELD A RALLY TO DEMAND THE UNIVERSITY CHANGE THE LIBRARYS NAME. THREE FREE PALESTINE, SAYING MER MISTREATED PALESTINIANS DURING HER TIME AS PRIME MINISTER. SUNDAY, STUDENTS FOR A DEMOCRATIC SOCIETY SAYING THEY HAVE NO INVOLVEMENT IN THIS INCIDENT. I GET IT, YOU KNOW, ITS A LOT OF LIVES BEING LOST, A LOT OF UNNECESSARY VIOLENCE. BUT ADDING TO THE UNNECESSARY VIOLENCE ISNT REALLY GOING TO FIX ANY PROBLEMS. AND EMAIL FROM THE UNIVERSITY TO STUDENTS READS, WHILE, UM RESPECTS THE RIGHT OF FREE SPEECH, THIS IS NEITHER FREE SPEECH NOR PEACEFUL PROTEST. AND UM WILL NOT TOLERATE VANDALISM OR OTHER ILLEGAL ACTS. IN MILWAUKEE, EMILY POFAHL. WISN 12 NEWS 12 NEWS ASKED IF THE SUSPECTS ARE STUDENTS AND IF POLICE ARRESTED OR C
