So I got to class thinking 'ugh another boring lecture' but then I checked the schedule and we were supposed to talk about Versailles today, Stoked! I love Versailles, anyway moot point. So in our class we have to do these artist presentations and this guy did Bernini today. Well he is up at the front of the class and to describe, its a lecture auditorium, so its the stadium type seating and there are a good number of seats. I will generally always sit to the very right, the second row from the top and the end, (towards the wall, not the center of the room). Well this girl I have talked to before came into class and I asked her if she was in the last class and she says "I don't even remember when that was" so I was like "oh ok," thinking 'whatever crazy, I will ask someone else then'. She sits behind me, 2 chairs to the left.
Well during this kids presentation, she is giggling loudly to herself, about who knows what I can barely make out what she is saying to herself. Then starts the questions. She starts aggressively pointing to the screen of the kids slideshow and asking the same question repeatedly, asking like she didn't hear the answer. Weird. I thought, "holy shit she is totally shitfaced in class". It got to the point where some people on the other side of the class asked her to leave because she is disturbing them. I am sitting there, and I am nervous and extremely uncomfortable that this will end badly. So then she starts arguing about this sculpture and what the book says versus his presentation and its St Theresa by Bernini and its said that the angel pierces her left breast with a spear, and it goes into her heart, so she is loudly saying that "it only says heart, not her breast, You are a LIAR, it doesn't say that in the book, your are telling lies" and all this nonsense. I should have moved from my seat, that would have been the perfect time to do so...
So the kids presentation ends, the professor starts her lecture and while that is happening 2 students are walking in late, and they have always sat in the very back row, where she is, so they go and sit there, and since they don't want to walk past her they take the seats next to her. Well, the prof. is lecturing about St. Peters Basilica in Rome, and some fountains and I hear the girl say "Those pictures are not in the book, those places don't exist don't believe her, she is a liar" and I am like, 'holy shit this is so uncomfortable, this girl is off her meds or something'. Then the prof. puts up a picture of the columns around the piazza of St Peters Basilica and this bitch goes crazy, and starts saying "That's Blasphemy, those are the gates of hell!" and repeats that over and over; at first its not loud, then she gets to the point where her voice is raised and the professor has stopped her lecture. Finally the professor asks her to leave, and it goes like this:
Crazy Girl: "you are a liar, and you are teaching lies, what is your name?!"
Prof: "Have you not been in my class this semester? My name is on the syllabus"
CG: "WHAT IS YOUR NAME??"
Prof: "Professor B-------"
CG: "WHAT IS YOUR NAME??"
Prof: "I just told you what my name is"
CG: "DON'T LIE TO ME, WHAT IS YOUR NAME?"
ok, at this point I am thinking "Fuck, she is going to go crazy, and I will be the first one to die, since I am next to her, I can't believe this is actually happening, WTF this is art history!"
So the professor walks up to her, and is just a few inches from her face and says:
"are we having a problem today? I would like you to pack up your things and leave the class, you are disturbing everyone"
CG: "What is your name!?"
So the professor walks to the red emergency call box and calls security for an escort out. And of course the 'do-gooder' of the class has already whipped out his phone and was talking to security...must have had them on speed dial ;) Anyway the stupid security people are like asking what race she is and all this stupid and the prof is like "That doesn't matter, send someone NOW"
While she is talking to them, the girl starts pulling things out of her backpack and asking people if we know what they are, or what they are used for. WTF? I don't even look at her, I don't want to catch eye contact with her and have her go off or something. So she shuts up for a moment and the prof is about to start her lecture and the cops come, like fo' real SDPD not rent a cop campus security. The professor explains and they cops are about to come up the stairs and escort her. I am hoping that they actually go up to her and not me since I am sitting near her..hello embarrassing, I am not the nutbag. Its a female and male cop. Goes as follows:
Cops: "ok its time to pack your stuff up and leave, when you sign up for classes you do with the understanding that if a teacher has asked you to leave, then you do so, so come on lets go"
Crazy girl: "I will go with you, only if I get her name"
Prof: "I gave you my name, its on the syllabus, just leave"
Cops: "We are not giving you ultimatums, pack up your stuff and leave"
She sits there, then the cop comes to my row, passes by me so they can surround her, and says this..so douchey btw.
Cops: "pack up your stuff, come on, we can do this the easy way or the hard way" (I fucking shit you not he said it, it was so douchey!, and awesome!)
CG: "What's your name! I want your name! Both of you, what's your name! What's my name?"
Random kid from class: "And thats why you don't get high before class"
Cops: "We will give you our names when we leave the class"
Anyway they escort her to the back exit, and she starts freaking out. She starts yelling "Who are you, what's your name?! What's going on" and is basically resisting, trying to hit the cops, she gets slammed into the wall, and they coppers are calling for backup and she is yelling about whatever nonsense, THEN she starts yelling in a foreign language, and I think to myself is that spanish? No, French? No, then one recognizable word I hear is "Allah" so I am like, ok a form of Arabic, is spewing from her mouth, this is great. Really, is this Art History 111? I think I am in the wrong class...except I am not.
Anyway you keep hearing the attempts at detaining her and I keep from saying "Don't tase me bro" oh that would be so inappropriate, yet appropriate. Everyone in the class is shocked, I am fucking anxious, nervous, freaking out. Whatever all that and more. The professor is like "Umm class dismissed." I have to talk to the professor to get paperwork I missed so I continue to hear the resisting and yelling, then breeze on out of there and see some coppers waiting to go in.
Fucking Crazy!!! I really do not like seeing shit like that, I got very anxious and I don't know, maybe some anxiety over it. I don't like to be around violence, I mean I don't think anyone does, but especially something like that. So gnarly. I feel a little bad for her since she seemed to either have a serious mental problem, although if she were on drugs I do not feel bad for her because drugs are bad for you, and that's what you get for being stupid.
