Oberlin student says we ‘need to bring back political assassinations’ in wake of Charlie Kirk murder
NY Post ^

A radical leftist student at Oberlin College casually called for political assassinations to continue in the wake of the targeted killing of political activist Charlie Kirk last week, according to an online post she made.

“We need to bring back political assassinations,” said Julia Xu in a social media post, where her handle is @bringbacktheguillotine.

“I don’t feel bad and I don’t think that everyone deserves the right to free speech. Some people should be afraid to express their opinion in public.”

Xu, who grew up in Connecticut, is a second year student at Oberlin College in Ohio majoring in politics and international affairs, according to an online college blog viewed by The Post, which has since been taken down.

Xu is on the advisory board of campus group the Gender, Sexuality and Attraction Initiatives, an office that supports queer, trans and women’s programming at the school. Xu, who uses they/them pronouns, is also a member of Students for a Free Palestine.

Xu said she made the comments about Kirk, who was assassinated during a student debate at Utah Valley University in Orem last week, after being given five minutes for “hot takes” during her “Revolution, Socialism and Reform in China” class.

She said her statement was influenced by her learnings about Chairman Mao, then went on to misguidedly (and perhaps inadvertently) praise the Chinese leader’s authoratarianism.

Xu explained how she’d learned that after the 1949 Chinese revolution Mao had decided “people deserve free speech, but there should not be free speech for reactionaries and imperialists and, like capitalists … because that would reverse the progress made [by the revolution].”

If this medical student actually said this then she needs to be expelled.

Mao: Political power grows out of the barrel of a gun.

They even released a stamp celebrating it:

“people deserve free speech, but there should not be free speech for reactionaries and imperialists and, like capitalists"

Translation: You can have free speech if you say the stuff that the regime wants you to say. If you deviate from the Party Line, there is going to be trouble for you.

Sounds like da ho is mastering in Death, destruction and assassination of Americans. Send her ass back to Red China where she belongs. She’s not intelligent enough to be an American.

Naive and pampered children who can’t figure out which bathrooms to use are picking fights on the orders of their ‘teachers’ with people who have been hunting for their whole lives. Not going to end well for them.

What the hell is Oberlin? Some kind of terrorist training center teaching “How To Murder Americans 101.”

There are some good reasons for why laws against large premeditated murder (both the act and attempted acts) conspiracies were enacted. If he is attempting to commit murder against any persons then he will be headed towards prosecution and punishment.

In America we solve problems through freedom of speech, not violence & attempts or acts of violence are punished in order to protect our freedom of speech. So rather than advocate for violence, especially the types that take away freedom of speech for others, advocate for your nonviolent ideas.

I wonder how firm her belief would be if the next words she heard was “ ok. You first.”

Nobody says this:

The Second Amendment is so we can take arms against any government out to kill us.

100,000,000 murdered by their own governments in the 20th century alone.

First step is to grab all the guns of the citizenry.

Oberlin College pays bakery it called 'racist' over $36 million after years-long defamation lawsuit

Seems like Oberlin is still at it.
