Bentley University student attacked for conservative activism
JEREMIAH POFF - STAFF REPORTER •JULY 12, 2019
A pattern of harassment
A conservative student was assaulted while gathering signatures for a Fox News host to come to his campus. The attack occurred earlier this year and is only just coming to light.
In a video posted to Twitter by Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk Monday, Bentley University College Republicans President Alex Christoffersen is seen being assaulted by an unidentified individual who tells him “you should be scared for your safety.”
The video, filmed by Christoffersen, appears to show the young activist getting shoved by a fellow student after an exchange of words. Christoffersen was seated at a table gathering signatures for a petition to bring Fox host Tomi Lahren to campus.
Breitbart News reports that the assailant told police that he “felt very disrespected” because Christoffersen’s table featured decorations of President Trump.
The April incident wasn’t the only campus harassment that Christoffersen has suffered.
“According to two additional purported Bentley University police reports, Christoffersen’s door had been vandalized several times during March and April, which included students spitting on his door, tearing down his posters, and taping up ‘Title IX’ posters,” Breitbart reported.
A police report said that a school official told Christoffersen that ”getting people to stop removing posters on his door would be difficult, as it is most likely different perpetrators in every instance.”
Christoffersen told Breitbart that he reported the incidents to the school’s bias incident response team, but a report from that team stated that it would not respond to the incident because politically charged harassment is not included under the team’s directive.
In a statement to Breitbart, a university spokesman said: “Bentley University is committed to freedom of speech and diverse expression, and part of our educational mission is to help our students learn to live out those values on a daily basis.”
There had better be a prompt response from law enforcement.
I’d be very pleased to see conservative groups recruiting MMA fighters. It’s time these people were put down, literally.
Well yeah. See, free speech for ‘them’ is anything they wish to say. Free speech for us is keeping our hateful racis’ white supremacy thoughts to ourselves. Remember a couple years ago some young ‘preacher’ in Houston was telling folks gay life was wrong and got smacked in the head with a baseball bat. Because “He was asking for it!” Things could get ugly.
they attack us then turn around and accuse the right of being violent
The new Brown Shirts....
Bentley University...
Doesn’t surprise me one bit. Officer Barbrady with the campus police said in a statement “Move along, nothing to see here.”
This will continue until the Lib gets his lights punched out.
Don't talk to me about "taking the high ground"
Lets hope that we are not at this point yet where we are fighting in the streets. This would be the point of no return and so it is up to the powers that be to insure that justice prevails and law breakers are brought to justice.
Bottom line: we expect law enforcement and the legal system to do their jobs. And we are watching and paying attention.
That’s funny because I feel disrepected whenever I see a picture of Harris, Biden, Sanders or Warren.
Bentley University is a Yugo of universities...
When was the last lefty actually put away for a while?
That ‘student’ should be expelled, permanently..............
That is a problem - real or perceived. Justice for All; equally and fairly.
Bentley Yugoniversity!
“Remember a couple years ago some young ‘preacher’ in Houston was telling folks gay life was wrong and got smacked in the head with a baseball bat. Because “He was asking for it!” Things could get ugly.”
If I was say a rape survivor walking by and didn’t know the context behind his expression of his 5A rights, I might be momentarily tempted to kick him or something, but I wouldn’t have been carrying around a metal baseball bat.
Nada.................
From what I know about Bentley, its a business/career oriented business school, with students who are generally not ideological, but rather career focused - at least those I have met
But then again, Leftists everywhere, even though they are a clear minority, feel emboldened.
And if there is not?
The law will stand down or slap them on the wrist as it always does to these antifa types.
We have reached the point where violence is the only way any of us can ever live in peace again, without fear of being beaten or murdered for our opinions. This will not stop until they are stopped. I want peace, and the best way to achieve peace is to win the war.
I’m with the “wake me up when I can kill large numbers of antifa and not go to jail for it” group. I see no reason to hide desire for their eradication. Their desires for the same are televised and glorified by media
Someday very soon, they will be silenced and we can move forward as a normal country again
