The Post Millennial can report that one of the assailants who destroyed a College Republicans booth and assaulted a tabler at the University of California, Santa Cruz, has been identified as 23-year-old queer activist, Martina Martin, who also uses the name Artimus Martin.
On Feb. 7, Martin and another young woman were filmed vandalizing the booth at Quarry Plaza on the UCSC campus. Martin, who uses “they” and “them” pronouns, can be seen taking the lead on the attack by trying to forcibly yank a “Trump 2020” flag from Hayden Williams, who was tabling at the booth and was scheduled as a guest speaker later that day.
“This is a flag of white supremacy,” Martin says in the video, which has since gone viral after being uploaded this week. As the two tussle over the flag, chairs and items are knocked over before Martin shoves Williams to the ground. Martin then tears down the booth’s banner and spits on the Betsy Ross flag before fleeing from the scene with the accomplice, who had torn up a sign.
The video does not show what happened before the vandalism began but Dylan Temple, president of College Republicans at UCSC, says the incident started when Martin tried to steal a flag. He says the incident was immediately reported to campus police.
On Wednesday, Martin took to social media to claim credit for the vandalism. Responding to Williams on Twitter, Martin wrote: “I had three dudes on me at once and nobody could stop me lol.”
Martin’s social media history shows a long commitment to radical left-wing views, including attending anti-Trump protests. It is unclear if Martin is currently an active student at UCSC. A GoFundMe created in March 2019 by Martin says they are “taking a leave of absence” from the university.

NPR, NYTimes, SFChron, etc are all silent on this...
Can anyone imagine what would happen if a conservative did this to a gay activism booth or display? I think somebody did and they got 15 years in prison.
NPR DOES report on UC Santa Cruz, just NOT on this.
some dude burned a gay flag- and got 16 years in prison
Yep, that’s the guy I was talking about. Not a bit difference than this incident.
A set of brass knuckles to the face would set that psycho straight real fast.
The commie freaks always have the same look don’t they
they charged him with being a ‘serial arsonist’ and ‘criminal arsonist’ i think it was because he had been arrested for similar before i think-
They claimed he broke the law because he stole something off private property- which is why they went so hard after a conviction, but my goodness- what are these gay pukes like this kid doing who destroy someone’s private property?
The dude that burned the flag didn’t endanger anyone with the flames- anti-americans can burn flags all day long in protest of America and not get arrested for a hate crime— but burn a gay flag, in protest of the gay lifestyle and you’re charged with a hate crime- The left are mental- hypocrites-
I was thinking of a Clue-by-Four.
He stole the gay flag off of a church building, he didn’t trespass on any property that wasn’t already accessible. All that he’s doing 16 years for is for dissing the gays. That’s how unequal these special rights laws are. Completely unconstitutional.
Hayden Williams got beat up by a girl.
It’s a woman...a pair of furry dice will likely work
They Stoned him (as in Roger Stone).
yup-= good analogy-
I honestly don’t know how these punks are still breathing.
If they had attacked me or my group, I would have shot them dead. Period.
