A University of Florida professor freaked out Wednesday after seeing police officers on campus, believing they were an armed gang of racists.
Florida Gov. Rick Scott (R.) had declared a state of emergency on Tuesday in preparation for a speech two days later on UF's campus by white supremacist Richard Spencer. Tensions are high on campus, and rumors are now swirling, the Miami Herald reports.
One geography professor emailed his students a warning that was later picked up and sent out on the student email listserv.
"FYI, I just walked into Turlington 10 minutes ago, and there were armed Aryan Brotherhood militia circling the building. It feels like they are testing how much they can get away with, openly carrying weapons," he wrote.
But as the news spread on campus and social media, it turned out that the oddly dressed men were actually Florida state troopers sent to keep the peace.
A Herald staffer tweeted out an image of the khaki-clad troopers.
The Herald also reported that a rumor sprang up that a noose was on campus. That rumor was also unfounded.
County police set up a hotline to address the noose and armed militia rumor, but "there are so many rumors flying that police have said they will not address them individually."
They could look like Illinois Nazis from a distance after an all night coke binge while watching “The Blues Brothers” over and over.
“Idiot professor..........................”
Yep. Just because they “teach” in college doesn’t mean they have functioning brains.
I do like the Blues Bro’s
This is just further proof of how out of control all this anti-white crap is.
‘The guy who is farthest from the camera doesn’t even appear to have a skin color that would indicate he’s a member of the Aryan Brotherhood.’
Oops. Sounds like the recruitment dept of the Aryan Brotherhood is Unclear on the Concept.
Bol.
Why do I have the suspicion that this prof knew EXACTLY what he was looking at and what he was doing?
Surf Nazis must die!(Snicker, snicker)
You haven’t been exposed to modern higher education. You don’t need to include “idiot” in the same context as “professor.”
I still call it GPA and the Rock
Indeed. I partook of the food a few times myself.
Wasn’t that at Plaza of the Americas though, closer to Library East?
LOL!!! I remember one Gator Growl they did a skit where some Freshman was asking where Turlington Hall was, only to be angrily answered with “It’s GPA!”
You must have remembered CJs and The Purple Porpoise, too.
Of course. How about NELL’s in the student ghetto?
It appears that many of our “institutions of higher learning” are populated by some of the dumbest people on the planet, and they’re identified by the label, “professor.”

“Absolutely agree. Cops are looking more and more militaristic and less like beat cops all the time. It gives the wrong message.”
It is known as “tacticool”. Excessive gear sometimes used as a substitute for actual functioning “boy parts”.
