Evergreen State College in Olympia will remain closed Friday after a "direct threat" was made to the campus.
The Olympia campus was closed suddenly Thursday out of an abundance of caution, spokesman Zach Powers said.
An unknown person made a threat of "campus violence" to Thurston County officials, he said. The college's president made the decision to close campus.
The county released a copy of the phone call. A male caller told a dispatcher: "I'm on my way to Evergreen University now with a .44 Magnum. I'm going to execute as many people on that campus as I can get a hold of. You have that? What's going on here? You communist, scumbag town? I'm going to murder as many people on that campus as I can. Just keep your eyes open you scumbag."
The college asked everyone to leave campus or return to their residence halls and await further instructions. The dorms were not on lockdown, according to a spokesperson at the college.
Olympia Police Department and the Thurston County Sheriff's Office were patrolling the campus and monitoring entrances when everyone was leaving.
A spokesperson said there was no known connection to last week's race-based protests. Demonstrations held last Tuesday and Wednesday involved around 200 students.
Maybe some student who didn’t study.
Will their freshman class next year be thick or thin?
I carried the Air Force Security Police Model 15 for years when I guarded an Air Guard base as a state civilian. What a relic.
Not true, I know several people who have them, bought more recently than that.
“But being this is a .44 Magnum, the most powerful handgun in the world, and would blow your dumb SJW head clean off...”
Smells of fake
Relic or not, still an excellent choice for the non enthusiasts wanting a defensive handgun.
Is this from their own students or staff faking something?
This his how they describe themselves on their website:
Innovative Academics
Escape the sequences of disconnected classes and endless prerequisites. Experience a better way of learning with programs that explore the many sides of a theme or topic. Narrative evaluations from faculty replace competitive grades with meaningful feedback.
6th rate hippie college with no redeeming features
close it down
You beat me to it. I was thinking, are they about to have finals? ;-)
This is what happens when you see SJWs take over society. They are a plague on society, they are human waste.
SJWs are crazy. They are extreme leftists.
They know who the problem students are.
Let them remain until the end of this semester. Then write them a letter and tell them not to return.
Then start a campaign to replace them with new students and move on.
In the new bylaws, simply tell the students, “This is a university. If you are here to study, get good grades, and prepare for the future, we want you. If you are here with a social agenda that will take up most of your time, consider this your only warning.”
Should be closed forever.
Play crazy leftist rules games, get crazy Commie thug payback prizes.
Just shut the place down until fall, and give everyone an “F” for their Spring semester courses.
Patchoulie-soaked fakery.
You'll admit tho, it isn't a good CCW hideout, or even an open carry...
Some guns just transend logic.
I spent a little time on their website. They don’t appear to teach but attempt to make the students “feel good” about themselves. Oh and over 70% take on student loans to “feel good.” I’m sure their careers as PT Starbucks barista will bay those off.
