The statement made by the journalism professor.

Now, of course, nothing rules out both!

Not that there's anything wrong with that!

He was hacked.

No, wait...he was doing field research into modern visceral reaction to rough-hewn, abhorrent online remarks and how this exposes conservative white people as raciss homophobes in desperate need of psychiatric medication; and the hasty placement of same on firearms exclusion & terror watch lists.

That's not it-- he was expressing his art in the form of wounding, satirical social commentary .

Or, something.

Correct me if I am wrong, but I don’t believe Aaron Alexis was an NRA member.

And even if he may have been, how is this any kind of burden on NRA? One becomes a member of NRA by applying and sending in dues, and so long as one continues to make contributions to the goals and objectives of NRA, that individual may remain in good standing. Clearly, Aaron Alexis was not in the least concerned with making any kind of contribution to the goals and objectives of NRA, and in fact was operating in diametric opposition, becoming the sort of rogue that has to be stopped by the vigilance of those who could first respond.

The alleged professor was on a riff of hate-mongering, confused and focused upon something that was not even part of the overall picture. A mentally disturbed person who “heard voices” went on some quest that in the end, did nothing to silence those voices in any meaningful or socially acceptable way. The “cure” was a totally irrational response that did great damage before it was effected.

But that in no way explains or excuses the twitter rant of the alleged professor.

Ron Paul has some nerve twisting Christ’s words like that.

Out of context. You doubled down on your idiotic statement when you were called on it. We’ll see if KU has the fortitude to dump him.

If not, there is justice in getting the crap beat of him on the Internet. Lots of people hating the guy right now. His life is probably not that pleasant right now.

And as long as he keeps job, KU will feel the pain.

Sometimes, the pen is mightier than the sword.

We had a similar idiot here in Colorado — Ward Churhill. He eventually got the boot and is still whining about how unfairly he was treated.

I sent a nicely worded and toned message to his boss. Nothing directly to him.

Told her what he did was not appropriate, and to please take action accordingly. She listened.

Easy Breezy.

It’s the go-to excuse for any ill-advised tweet.
