Current Events > Guy in a Trump shirt pulls a knife on Wayne State U campus; is only suspended.

(+) Yeah! (+)

Even more baffling, not one person called the police on him; instead, they posted to social media about it.

The article has the video in it.

Wayne State University officials say a student was suspended after brandishing a knife and making threatening comments about immigrants on Tuesday.

According to a witness, the student approached a table where members of the activist group BAMN were passing out flyers about immigrant rights. A video provided to Metro Times shows the man open his jacket to show off a "Trump 2020" shirt and pull out a switchblade. He then says, "I think we should deport or kill all illegals that don't belong in our country."

Things escalated from there. One student yelled back, "So you're a Nazi? Get the fuck out of here." Another student yelled, "You want to kill somebody? Kill yourself."

BAMN member Kate Stenvig says this is the third time the group has had an altercation with the student, though it's the first time things escalated this far. Previously, Stenvig says he shouted "Make America great again!" while walking past their table.

"This is the kind of thing that has been emboldened all over by Trump's presidency," Stenvig says. "These kinds of racist incidents and these alt-right supporters have been emboldened by Trump and he needs to go. He needs to resigned or be removed now and we have work to keep these racist attacks from continuing to happen in our communities and on our campuses."

WSU president M. Roy Wilson issued the following statement:

Dear Wayne State community,

Last night we became aware of an incident in which a Wayne State student and a number of individuals staffing a table in State Hall engaged in a dispute. During a tense exchange, the student made some provocative remarks related to immigration and brandished a knife. This incident was shared via Facebook and other forms of social media. The individual in question has since been detained and is suspended from the university pending a full investigation.

At Wayne State, we strive to create a physically safe campus community. We are among the safest college campuses in Michigan and across the nation. As always, if you witness or become aware of incidents such as the one that occurred yesterday, we ask that you please call the Wayne State Police Department at 313-577-2222. In this instance, no one called the police.

We remain steadfast in our commitment to building an inclusive campus community where intolerance particularly when accompanied by physical threats is not tolerated. While we encourage respectful dialogue and sometimes passionate debate about differing views and perspectives, there is no place for violence or threats of violence at Wayne State.

Thank you to everyone who has written to express their concern about this incident. Together, we will continue to build a campus environment that is safe, welcoming and inclusive for everyone.

Sincerely,

M. Roy Wilson
President

It is pretty fucking funny that even when faced with a genuinely stupid, bigoted right winger, the left is still incapable of coming up with anything other than "OMG YOU'RE HITLER!" Even when they have before them a complete mental midget, they're still incapable of explaining to all his four brain cells why, they STILL have to resort to "OMG HITLER!" You'd think that when playing on easy mode, liberals could outline their views and outsmart that idiot. But no.

They aren't smarter than pony tail weird beard "lookit me I have a $20 knife from Amazon!"

your froth is showing

He actually seemed to be pretty calmly attempting to have a dialogue and explain his view. The others were just being incredibly rude and screaming in his face and not allowing him to talk.

I'm not even convinced he threatened them or even said what they said he did. At one point they said "so you want to kill people". And he replied no and attempted to elaborate as they were screaming in his face that he's a Nazi.

For the record I don't like Trump and lean liberal but this doesn't sit right. Seems like irrational overly aggressive super liberals leaping to the Nazi chant at any sign of disagreement tbh

He calmly pulled a knife out. He calmly threatened a group of people. Why don't dem silly liherals just be calm, cool, and collected when debating people that whip weapons out at them? Silly regressives.

Right. Because universities are known for their pro-trump sentiment.

Yes, he pulled out a weapon in front of a clearly hostile mob that was clearly incapable of reason or logic because they were blinded by passion and hate.

Fuck him for knowing that leftists are violent assholes when they are in groups

Perhaps he shouldn't have pulled a knife and said "We need to deport or kill all the illegals..." as the start of his argument if he didn't want to piss people off?
