Chico State’s Policing Task Force hosted a meeting on Tuesday at approximately 5:30 p.m. Shortly after, the Zoom bombing began.
“It started out with kid’s noises, random noises,” said Alexander Smith, a Chico State student who witnessed the Zoom bombing.
The noises then progressed to pornographic material. Suddenly, the chat was bombarded with hate speech that included the N-word.
According to Smith, the Zoom bomb lasted approximately eight minutes before the meeting ended.
“A couple of students said they were being Zoom bombed,” Smith said. “The coordinators kinda fumbled in dealing with the Zoom bombing while it was occuring.”
