Cal State lecturer suspended for hitting College Republicans member

A faculty member at California State University, Fullerton has been suspended after striking a College Republicans member during a campus protest earlier this month.

The altercation occurred Feb. 8 as pro-Palestine students and counter-protesters marched peacefully through campus. Anthropology part-time lecturer Eric Canin reportedly approached the group of counter-protesters — many of them being CSUF College Republicans members — and tried to rip a sign out of a student’s hand. Mr. Canin was accused of then striking another student who tried to step between them. The group’s president, Chris Boyle, said he witnessed the hit and proceeded to restrain Mr. Canin until police arrived.

The university said in a statement that its internal investigation concluded that a faculty member did indeed strike a student and violate his free speech rights.

How long until these Liberal hate mongers start to shoot people? Soon! I bet some fool is going to try to take out Trump with a bullet—its how these Stalinist’s think—The ends justify the means—put Hillary in ON ELSE! Trump better be on his toes—the bullet that brings him down will be the first bullet in CW II, if not Rev War II. A whole lot of folks will die—i fear!

And why wasn’t he fired, you can be damn sure if a student hit a professor that student would be expelled, well unless he was a liberal or Of color or a colorful liberal.

When the real violence starts, the left is going to wish they were in an igloo in Antarctica.

I see there was no apostrophe in “College Republicans” so I’m relieved they punched a member, but not HIS member!

Suspended? That’s it? If I strike someone, I will go to jail. I’d lose my job. All he gets is some time-at-home?
