Melissa Click, the University of Missouri communications professor who garnered widespread scorn for trying to physically remove a student reporter from a campus protest, was formally charged with assault Monday morning.

A spokeswoman for the Columbia Prosecutor’s Office said Click was being charged with third degree assault, a class C misdemeanor that carries a possible 15-day jail sentence.

Click was caught on video calling for “some muscle” to remove a student reporter from an area on the university’s flagship campus where protesters had gathered. The protests eventually led to the resignation of University of Missouri System President Tim Wolfe and Mizzou Chancellor R. Bown Loftin. Click, however, remains as an assistant professor in the Department of Communications.

Assault, who would have thought that?

Assault is simply putting someone in fear of an immediate battery.

This WILL get Carrot Top fired from the Vegas show I bet. Already know for the drinking problem.

What took so long to charge her?

She looks like a crack whore that’s been up all night workin’ for hits.

[BenLurkin]

Yeah, she looks like the kind of “liberated” gal who loves to run her yap — but expects some male sucker to do the heavy lifting for her.

Gotta love karma.

I’m thinking hairy armpits.

Oh, for those good old days . . when Rush called feminists what they were/are: Feminazis

Yeah, if you cut off the hair, you’d have a guy!

I’m sure she’s a feminist, one who needs a man the way a fish needs a bicycle. So why did she feel the need to ask for “muscles” (men)?

[Snickering Hound]

2 weeks locked up with inmates she had previously only read about or seen on TV will turn her conservative so expect probation.

[Rennes Templar]

Thing is, liberal State U’s are rife with her sort, particularly “journalism” dept’s.

Excellent!

"Every once in a while, a little sanity sneaks out into the open."

But, considering the delay in filing charges, sanity came out very reluctantly. And as far as I know, the university itself never took any action against her, just accepted her VOLUNTARY resignation from an unpaid advisory role.
