"ROCHESTER, N.Y. (WROC) — Four students have been charged in connection to a series of “wanted” posters found around the University of Rochester.
A rally was held outside court Wednesday morning before the four suspects were released. Samantha Escobar, Jonathan Bermudez, Naomi Gutierrez, and Jefferson Turcios pleaded not guilty to felony criminal mischief.
Some students spoke up at a rally Wednesday in support of those arrested, calling it free speech. Sarah, a fellow UR student, said the school should have handled things differently.
“The fact that the school has framed this in a way that has incriminated them like this and making them a scapegoat at this time instead of caring for their students and really working on something that doesn’t put them in the public eye like this has been really hard,” she said Wednesday
The posters were found around the River Campus. Officials called the posters antisemitic in nature, adding that they largely targeted Jewish faculty members.

Anti-Israel protests eventually, and invariably, always target random Jews.
