Context: this piece of filth barged into Psych 210 (The Diversity of Human Sexuality) throwing up nazi salutes, yelling Heil Hitler, and calling everyone “removed removed” (edit: and “removeds”). Class didn’t appreciate it.

      To be fair to those kids though, I imagine they probably don’t want to risk getting expelled for beating the shit out of this loser on campus, even though he deserves it.

          It was the middle of the day and seemingly the middle of campus as a crowd of like 50 people paraded through. What’s the meta here? Concuss this fucker so bad he can’t ID an assailant and count on 50 college kids and the professor all plausibly denying knowledge of who kicked the shit out of him? What about other witnesses, both third party and even a detractor to violence in the group? And what about the security cameras that are running on campus anyway that could easily ID the people in the crowd and their relative proximity to the shitstain? What about forensic evidence?

          No, for a spontaneous reaction from a completely disorganized crowd of college kids, the biggest issue is probably that some elements of violence aren’t legally defensible (though tossing him on the ground was imo, from a “citizens’ arrest” standpoint). Being non-violent (but ready to pounce if he did something even more stupid) and just humiliating him at length on camera was the right call from the starting point of not having some sort of protocol arranged beforehand.

            And what about the security cameras that are running on campus anyway

            Oh yeah that, there’s footage from it posted online already.

        Easy to say you’d kick him in the face, but like, you don’t go or work there, and they’re all surrounded by peers and cameras.

        I probably still would’ve kicked him in the face, but I’m not going to say that’s the best option for me personally.

      What a disgusting response

      didn’t do shit to him

      Just because you and I would have found it cathartic does not mean it was the right call. There were a dozen cameras and he was already pepper sprayed, tossed on the ground, spat on, and humiliated.

      didn’t even respond when he started saying “i thought you guys were the party of peace” or whatever the fuck he was saying

      Turn your volume up or use common sense, they absolutely did. It’s hard to make out what they said, but they clearly indicate that he’s being ridiculous.

      Honestly the optics of him on the verge of tears complaining about the “party of peace” cuz some kids chased after him and made noises at him is chefs-kiss

      I mean yes it would have been funnier if they had roughed him up and stolen his shoes but hey what we got ain’t bad
