A woman is facing felony and misdemeanor charges after she allegedly posted about wanting to kick a pro-life display booth at Miami University, in Ohio.
Key Takeaways:
* Nineteen-year-old Alexandra Patterson was arrested and charged after she allegedly posted a threat against Miami University pro-life students to a social messaging app.
* In the message, she suggested that either dining dollars would be available to anyone who would 'kirk' a pro-life student table or that she herself was willing to 'kirk' the table in exchange for dining dollars.
* The post was a reference to the September 2025 assassination or pro-life political activist Charlie Kirk.
* Patterson remains in jail on a $170,000 bond and faces up to three yearsi in prison on the felony charge alone.
* The incident was reported to the FBI.
The Details:
Alexandra Patterson, a 19-year-old Miami University student, is charged with aggravated menacing, inducing panic, and making a terroristic threat after she allegedly posted to the social app YikYak:
How many dining dollars to kirk the anti abortion table in Armstrong.
The post was shared to a "Miami Ohio" group on the messaging app and was visible to any Yik Yak user in the Miami University area. It appears she was either offering dining dollars to anyone willing to shoot the people at the pro-life booth or that she was willing to shoot the pro-lifers in exchange for dining dollars.
Patterson was arrested on November 2, and investigators say the post was an attempt to "intimidate or coerce a civilian population, namely students who express that viewpoint on campus." She is being held at the Butler County Jail on a $170,000 bond. If she posts bond, she will need to wear an ankle monitor. She was also ordered to stay away from the pro-lifers and is barred from using social media. The incident was reported by local authorities to the FBI.
According to court documents and WLWT, a student who was running the Students for Life affiliated pro-life booth at the Armstrong Student Center said she understood "kirk" to be a reference to the shooting assassination of political activist Charlie Kirk while he was tabling at Utah Vally University in September 2025. Students for Life organizer Grace Kimzey said she called police after learning about the post out of concern for the safety of the pro-life students.
According to the Cincinnati Enquirer, "At the time of the post, four students were at an anti-abortion, information booth in Armstrong Student Center on campus, according to court documents."
Patterson faces three years in prison for the felony charge and each misdemeanor charge carries a maximum 180 days sentence.
The Bottom Line:
Pro-lifers have faced increased attacks and threats from pro-abortion supporters since Roe v. Wade was overturned in June 2022. Pro-life pregnancy centers have been firebombed and vandalized, and the Biden administration launched attacks against pro-lifers.
Charlie Kirk was assassinated on September 10, 2025 while speaking at Utah Valley University as part of his "The American Comeback Tour." Kirk, who visited college campuses to have open conversations with students, expressed his hope for an end to abortion in 2021, telling Live Action founder and president Lila Rose, "I really believe this — we are gonna get rid of abortion like we got rid of slavery in this country. It's going to happen. They are moral equivalents."

What do you expect from the Baby Killing Party.
Haven’t had to change my tagline in years.

She could get quite an education from three years in prison. And no loans to pay back.
Pro-deather threatens pro-lifer.
Why no picture of the alleged perp?
The word kirk means “church” in Scots, Northern English, and Ulster-Scots.
These people think they’re smarter than everyone else, and that their twisted humor is endlessly amusing. These predispositions override any sense of self preservation. Nitwit
