Lars Maischak is a history professor at Fresno State University.
This is all that Twitter has left of a recent tweet of his. The link is dead, because Maischak erased the tweet:
https://twitter.com/LarsMaischak/status/832804291974868996
Maischak erased the tweet after Breitbart published this article, which quoted the tweet.
Fortunately, the Internet Archive has preserved the tweet. Here it is:
The tweet says:
“To save American democracy, Trump must hang. The sooner and the higher, the better.”
I can certainly understand why Maischak deleted the tweet.
What I don’t understand, however, is why Maischak waged a personal attack against Breitbart for accuratelly quoting his tweet.
After Breitbart accurately quoted Maischak’s tweet, Maischak responded by saying:
“The function of articles like the one produced by Breitbart and affiliates is to whip up a digital lynch-mob of people sending threats and insults to my email and Twitter accounts, with the ultimate goal of silencing dissenters.”
Actually, I’d say that the true, real, genuine function of the Breitbart article was to tell the truth about what a college professor said.
Also, I find it incredibly hypocritical that Maischak is accusing Breitbart of trying to “whip up a digital lynch-mob,” when, in reality, it was actually Maischak himself who said, “Trump must hang.”
I’m no psychologist. I suppose, perhaps, it’s possible that Maischak is projecting his own desire for a “hanging” on to Breitbart.
Wikipedia says of “projection”:
Psychological projection
Psychological projection is a theory in psychology in which humans defend themselves against their own unconscious impulses or qualities (both positive and negative) by denying their existence in themselves while attributing them to others. For example, a person who is habitually rude may constantly accuse other people of being rude. It incorporates blame shifting.
Fortunately, Fresno State University had the decency and common sense to cancel Maischak’s classes for next week.
Also, the Secret Service is investigating Maischak.
Fresno State University needs to investigate this and take action.
Er calling for the president to be hung is a little more than dissent.
Is the FBI visiting him?
He only said to hang him because Trump is black. No wait.
Imagine if whitey had sent a tweet like that about obummer?
“The function of articles like the one produced by Breitbart and affiliates is to whip up a digital lynch-mob”
The guy is a professor, yet too dense to see the irony of his clearly calling for the lynching of Trump while whining about critics he’s accusing of being a lynch mob. But, of course, he IS a leftist.
If any professor at any university in the U.S. had advocating hanging Obama on a Friday, he/she would not have a job come Monday and would probably be in jail by Monday afternoon.
It is entirely possible that institutions harboring individuals making death threats, and other schools depriving conservatives of their civil rights, may have committed federal offenses including but not limited to:
<><> Title 18 U.S.C. §1341, Mail Fraud, 18 U.S.C.§1001, Presenting a False Document to an Agent of the US Government for funding (may involve several felonies and could include forgery);
<><> 18 U.S.C.§1027 False statements and concealment of facts in relation to funding documents required by ERISA enacted 1974 and other possible offenses including civil and/or criminal RICO violations.
<><> 18 U.S.C. §§1961-68 (RICO Act)18 U.S.C. §1001 (making false Statements to Agents of the US Government regarding federal funding),
<><> 18 U.S.C. §241(Conspiracies Against Civil Rights). Violation of Civil Rights under Color of law and conspiracy. Conspiring with others to violate conservative students’ 4th amendment rights.
<><> Possibly full investigations centering on RICO conspiracies under 18 U.S.C. §1962(c) could be warranted because (1) the persons (2) were employed by or associated
with a federally funded enterprise (3) that engaged in or affected interstate commerce and that (4) the persons operated or managed the enterprise (5) through a “pattern” (6) of racketeering activity, and (7) the taxpayers were injured by reason of the “pattern” of racketeering activity.
<><> Alleged Offenses could include Violation of Rights – which prohibits in relevant part, “two or more persons (from conspiring) to injure, oppress, threaten, or intimidate any person in any State, Territory, Commonwealth, Possession, or District
<><> Title 18 U.S.C. §2 41 – Conspiracy Against Constitutional mandates in the free exercise or enjoyment of any right or privilege secured by the Constitution or laws of the United States, or because of having so exercised the same . . .” See, 18 U.S.C. §241.
Taxpayers demand the following agencies commence investigations at once:
<><> FBI — Wire Fraud Division
<><> IRS-Fraud Unit
<><> Department of Justice’s Office of the Inspector General,
<><> Department of Commerce’s Office of Inspector General.
<><> DOJ’s Criminal Division— Public Integrity Section

ACTION NOW-—Contact your Representative and Senators
Capitol Switchboard 1-866-220-0044
TALKING POINTS: sever all federal funds until these institution banish employees making death threats, and cease their discriminatory activity against conservative students
Possibly full investigations against Fresno State University centering on RICO conspiracies under 18 U.S.C. §1962(c) could be warranted because:
(1) the individual making death threats (2) was employed by, or associated with, a federally-funded enterprise (3) that engaged in, or affected, interstate commerce, and, because (4) federally-funded University officials operated, or managed, the enterprise (5) through a “pattern” (6) of racketeering activity, and, because (7) taxpayers were injured by reason of the “pattern” of racketeering activity.
Hang traitors.
Next to the check mark it says “suivre”, French for “follow”.
Why is it in French and not English, when the tweet was written in English?
To whom was he sending that tweet?

It would be a real shame if Professor Lars were to accidently run into a few Louisville Sluggers. Repeatedly. In some dark secluded place.
Yeah, that’d really be a shame.
More and more, I am convinced that mental illness is the number-one public health issue of our time.
Dissent is always going to be part of politics. But people like this prof seem to have lost any connection to reality. Their numbers are legion and seem to be growing rapidly.
“”he’s accusing of being a lynch mob. But, of course, he IS a leftist.””
Wait a second... He meant there is a difference between a “literal” lynch mob and a “digital” lynch mob. I guess the “digital” one is much, much more sinister.
“”Castro said the university was committed to free speech and was taking the matter seriously. He said officials had contacted federal authorities, adding his main concern is the safety of students and the campus community.
Maischak said he is under federal investigation and is keeping the Secret Service abreast of his whereabouts.
“I am not in Fresno. I fear for my life,” the professor said, adding that when school resumes next week his classes on Monday and Tuesday will be canceled.””

The entire article was written by me and published at my blog. And so I posted it here, in the blog section.
Wow! Thanks for those tweets and the link.
Thank you for the link and info.
