University of Kansas officials criticized a journalism professor Thursday, saying remarks that he tweeted regarding Monday’s shootings at the Washington Navy Yard were “repugnant.”

David Guth tweeted Monday that “blood is on the hands” of the National Rifle Association following the shootings that left 13 people dead.

“Next time, let it be YOUR sons and daughters,” the tweet read. “Shame on you. May God damn you.”

On Thursday, Ann Brill, dean of the university’s journalism school, said Guth’s views “do not represent our school, and we do not advocate violence directed against any group or individuals.”

While the First Amendment allows anyone to express an opinion, Brill said, “that privilege is not absolute and must be balanced with the rights of others.”

Timothy C. Caboni, university vice chancellor for public affairs, called Guth’s tweet “repugnant,” adding that it was “truly disgraceful that these views were expressed in such a callous and uncaring way.”

America needs a systematic cleansing of pinkos out of academia.

“Frankly, I don’t care if I am criticized for being too quick to judge, too harsh in my criticism or too strident in my tone.”

Let's see if you care after you get fired.

If a maniac were to murder being inspired by the employee of the university would the doctrine of vicarious liability apply to the university?

The doctrine has been used to sue white supremacists for the crimes of skinheads who, IIRC, had no direct connections to the white supremacists other than seeing and hearing the crap they published.

So the powers that be say "bad boy". Maybe he gets a letter in his permanent file. Other than that, nothing will come of this.

[Mr. K]

I am getting SO GO@@#$M SICK AND TIRED of being blamed for crap other sick people do.

I had NOTHING TO DO with The navy shipyard killer, The NRA I belong to had nothing to do with it, CONSERVATIVES had nothing to do with it.

If anyone OTHER THAN the killer himself is to blame it is the liberal policies that wont let us lock up criminally insane and democrap presidents who egg them on. This guy turned out to be an Obama supporter right?

Must be- because if he was an ACTUAL NRA MEMBER it would be 24/7 news

“Shame on you. May God damn you.”

Let me guess. Those are not the words of a Christian. Those are the words of an unbelieving jerk who thinks he knows about Christians, or at least knows how to best insult them.

What group other than the NRA or Christians could he have said this about without being fired?
