A University at Buffalo student said Monday she feared for life when she was chased by an angry mob last week after inviting black former Texas GOP Chair Lt. Col. Allen West to speak on campus about overcoming racism.
Therese Purcell, who is president of the Young Americans for Freedom at the university, told “Fox & Friends” she was forced to flee into a men’s bathroom after the on-campus event with West spiraled out of control.
Purcell said protestors derailed the Thursday night event — titled America Is Not Racist: Why American Values are Exceptional — during a Q&A segment with West.
She said the protesters — made up of black and white students — started screaming “no peace” and banging on the walls.
“I was really afraid for my life,” Purcell said.

Purcell said West was escorted out by police and protesters started “hunting” her down as she tried to leave. She said that’s when she ran to the bathroom and called 911.
“I don’t think they were going to do anything remotely peaceful. They were a very angry mob, and they were clearly saying that they were trying to chase me, that they wanted to capture me,” Purcell said.
“I’m afraid of what would have happened if I wasn’t able to hide from them.”

Why does this keep getting posted? It seems like a warning for uppity conservatives that this is what they face if they are bold and make their views known. It’s a threat.
Race relations were quite good not too long ago. This was after decades of efforts to reason bigotry out of the American mind.
But a settled and prosperous society doesn’t work for the rat party.
Without imaginary victims, the rat party would dissolve.
You are talking over 13 years ago before the Magic Kenyan took office. That's ancient history to the left and no longer matters today.
Time to cull the herd.
