Students for Trump founder Ryan Fournier arrested, accused of using gun to strike a woman

Ryan Fournier, the co-founder of Students for Trump, was arrested in North Carolina last week on accusations that he struck a woman in the head with a handgun, records show.

Fournier, 27, allegedly grabbed the woman by her right arm and struck her in the forehead with a 9MM Sig Sauer P229 pistol, according to the Johnson County magistrate.

The victim – identified by Axios as Fournier’s girlfriend – suffered a minor injury in the alleged attack.

Fournier was taken into custody on Nov. 21 and faces two misdemeanor charges of assault on a female and assault with a deadly weapon.

He was released on a $2,500 bond and is scheduled to appear in court on Dec. 18.

Fournier co-founded the youth political group during former President Donald Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign when he was a student at Campbell University. Trump headlined a Students for Trump event at a Phoenix, Ariz. megachurch in June 2020.

Fournier now leads a group called Radical Alert, which proclaims to be “exposing” hate that has “taken over American college campuses.”

John Lambert, who co-founded Students for Trump with Fournier, was sentenced to 13 months in prison in May 2021 for posing as a lawyer to steal money from his victims.

Lambert pleaded guilty to wire fraud and was ordered to forfeit over $46,000 and pay more than $21,000 in restitution to his victims.

The lesson, know you are a target.

The other lesson, if he did this, learn from it.

Wonder what the truth is? Because it’s a lead pipe cinch the story is vastly different than we are being told. I’m thinking we will eventually hear a story of a suicidal, or an angry psycho female and a physical struggle for a handgun she grabbed. Somewhere in wrestling it away from her she gets a bump on the head. This could easily be as she HELD it to her head.
The she calls the cops and you know the rest...
Just watch.

My reasons for thinking that despite it being a week later, there is no police report, no charging document, and no ID on the girlfriend. Also they say she had a “minor” injury... ie probably a scratch. Last, 2/3 of the story is about him being MAGA and a helper for Trump.

This all adds up to the hiding facts as recorded by the cops, or her identity so we can discover a history of suicide attempts or “crazy”.

The “message” the marxist lefty democrats are sending is “don’t support Trump” or we will come after you. Occam’s razor and all that.

I found that there is a lot of manipulation by both the “victims” and defendants in domestic violence cases. This is one area of law that needs to be fixed for the sake of those who are victims and those who are falsely accused.

LOL

That was my initial thought after reading the article. The P229 would look nice next to my P365

Schweizerische Industrie-Gesellschaft no longer exists. It is now SIG Sauer AG. The US company that makes the P229 is SIG Sauer, Inc. There is also a SIG Sauer GmbH & Co. KG in Germany. All belong to the same parent company.

I’m having vertigo from seeing “Ryan Fournier” and “Students for Trump” together in one sentence.

Related to Ass Press Ryan Fournier or no?

AND NOW i can’t find the reporter anywhere online. Just the same story about this same-name douchebag that I’ve never heard of before.

Reminds me of the hysteria over Richard Spencer.

Didn’t see any report on all the murders and muggings in this weeks New York Post.

Some ducking and dodging going on.
