Protester who grabbed Lucian Wintrich’s ‘It’s OK to be white’ speech charged with theft
Washington Post ^ | 12/12/2017 | Derek Hawkins

Prosecutors on Monday dropped a breach of peace charge against conservative commentator Lucian Wintrich, who was arrested last month when a scuffle broke out during his speech at the University of Connecticut titled “It’s OK to be White.”

Wintrich, a White House correspondent for the right-wing website Gateway Pundit, was charged with the misdemeanor count after he grabbed a woman who took a copy of his speech from the lectern and tried to walk away. People crowded around, attempting to pull them apart, and Wintrich was taken away by police.

After a court appearance Monday, an attorney for Wintrich told the Hartford Courant that prosecutors recognized Wintrich was trying to retrieve his papers. The woman, Catherine Gregory, was charged over the weekend with attempted larceny and disorderly conduct, as the Courant reported.

“I obviously think it’s wonderful that finally the system corrected itself,” Wintrich told local media outside the Superior Court in Rockville, Conn. “We don’t want to create a precedent that people can walk up to speeches they find disagreeable and steal them. I mean that’s really not what America is about.”

Gregory, an adviser at Quinebaug Valley Community College in Danielson, Conn., turned herself in to police on Sunday. She is free on a $1,000 bond and is due in court Wednesday

Good. Attorney fees add up when you're on an adviser's salary at a community college.

Bet the teacher’s union picked up the tab.

Guess that means one less "dalliance" for the heads of the union this week.

The speech is his intellectual property. She should be charged with theft of intellectual property.

Hopefully the College Commie Twit Broad can carry a misdemeanor theft conviction the rest of her life.

That woman is undoubtably enraged over all the men who have been hitting on her. They must be waiting in line for a chance to flirt with her.

If it's wrong to say, "It's okay to be white," then that must mean it's not okay to be white. When we have to walk on eggshells to avoid even slightly offending other precious races--when nonwhites must be praised to the skies and only portrayed positively in the media--somehow it's horrible and shocking to even make the mild statement that being white is "okay."

I'm telling you, whites had better wake the h** up, and fast. Otherwise, life is going to be a living hell for our children and/or grandchildren.

Why did the police let the woman get away with the papers? Sounds like enforcement personnel with an agenda.

The ironic thing is that the red "crossbar" emblem is not that visible on the White Swastika and black background and her hair is blonde. It almost makes her look like a "Hitler Helga Housenmaiden"...

The Left Lacks all self-awareness because they have been brainwashed into thinking that having shame is bad thing so they show no shame and thus eschew self-awareness. However they brandish shame as a weapon against their enemies calling anyone to the left of Stalin a frickin' NAZI to evoke a feeling of "shame" from their ideological opponents.

So this lefty loon attacks as conservative by stealing his Digital Device containing his speech, LITERALLY stealing his SPEECH... And she stole the SPEECH from a GAY MAN...

So let's tally this up.

1. Interrupted speech from opponent - Censorship

2. Attacked a gay man - Homophobia

3. Stole his digital assets - Basically a Digital Book Burning

...

So tell me again who the Hell is the actual NAZI in this scenario????

It is certainly NOT the person trying to give a SPEECH...

How about putting up pieces of paper with these words “Whites have a right to exist.” Watch how fast they are called racist.

Amazing. A law enforcement agency was able to figure out that was a crime? They sure got rough with the victim.
