Four Texas State University students were arrested Wednesday following an altercation with another student who was wearing a Make America Great Again hat during a demonstration on campus.
Campus Reform first reported that Tyler M., a freshman, was in an area on campus where counter-protesters were demonstrating in anticipation of a protest by conservative biker group Texas Nomads SAR, which never showed.
Tyler said he was engaging in conversation with some of the counter-protesters when one of them grabbed the pro-President Trump hat off his head, threw it on the ground and kicked it. Video posted by Campus Reform showed part of the exchange as a female student is seen kicking a MAGA hat on the ground as a police officer is trying to speak to her.
Again, none of our conservative people were ever instigating anything, Tyler M. told Campus Reform. I can guarantee that. No one was ever yelling or shouting over people. We were all very patient.
Campus Police Chief Laurie Clouse released a statement Thursday confirming that the arrests were made after one student stole a hat off another students head and fled.
Police officers quickly interceded and directed the student to drop the stolen property, the statement read. The student refused multiple directives and was then detained with the intention of being given a ticket for theft. The student was later arrested after providing a false identity to the police.
Police said two additional students were arrested during the incident after interfering with the officers duties. A fourth student was arrested and charged with disorderly conduct outside the police department where the students had been escorted.

I haven’t been there since around 1970. San Marcos is a nice place. It is also a surprisingly large college.
I was impressed with how many beautiful girls were on campus.
The left acts, the right talks about girls.
oy vey, that'll sure teach 'em
They seem to be dressed similar to antifa.
Good to see the rule of law upheld.
Obviously, the beautiful girls are not there anymore....
I can’t wait to see Biden handing out MAMA hats promoting his campaign.
FREEDOM: When you get arrested for wearing the wrong kind of hat, because it makes someone else uncomfortable.
sounds like it’s about time to run the old MAGA flag up the flagpole and reclaim the campus for America.
From Freedom Riders to Freedom Wearers?
Typical violent Democrat.
They have to start doing something to stem this insanity! You cross the line and act like an ass, you get arrested!! These kids are totally out of control, FCOL!!
Leftist see “Make America Great Again” and it makes them want to riot, loot and kill...
These people are severely bent.
It was a beautiful place back in the early 70’s. Great memories, fun times and yes, there were many beautiful girls there. ;o)~
They had a group of dancers, I think they called them “Strutters” who performed at football games.
I am pretty sure they were selected by how hot they were.
My lucky hunting hat is red with a small star on the left side. My hubby warns me when I go to the river to prey (on mushrooms) not to put it onto my head until I’m deep into the woods. So far, none of the shrooms have given me any trouble.
So to troll the Left on the matter of hats ... how about one of those pink hats emblazoned with MAPGA?
That wasn’t what happened. The Antifa loser was arrested for theft after refusing to give back the hat, and was then also charged with providing a false identity to police.
Two more were charged with interfering with police, and one was charged with disorderly conduct outside the police station where the others were taken.
Some lefty DA will probably drop all the charges, but it seems the police did right here.
