A University of Utah student was arrested Monday after a viral video captured him allegedly making gun gestures and threatening to shoot conservative campus speakers during a public debate outside the school’s Marriott Library.

Dean Stewart, 21, was arrested and charged by the University of Utah Police Department with disorderly conduct, making threats and disobeying a lawful order, according to the university.

"He called us ‘Nazi pigs,’ and started saying that someone should shoot us in the neck," Owen said.

The title buries the lede. The perp threatened to kill them multiple times.

I wonder what state the would be killer is from? I don't think Utah will provide cover for his actions but maybe he was thinking about his home state where they would.

Of course it does by saying he was arrested for hand gestures it trivializes what he did. This was intentional.

I am going to go out on a limb and guess he was a man pretending to be a woman, and was upset conservatives refused to go along with his delusion.

Somebody needs to show little Deany Weeny some clips of his disgraceful Nazi Illegal Alien MinnieSalamiSomalitamales doing their daily JaySix insurrections and destroying millions of dollars worth of tax payer’s properties. I suggest that all MinnieSomalis get out there and sexually service their Frozen Riot Zombies.

He’s most likely a Commiefornia transplant or from the Marxist republics of New England.

(Dean Stewart, 21, who goes by “any pronouns.”)

When Sodom and Gomorrah Agendas are celebrated by society and absurdities are treated as "normal" - and people refuse to accept Sound Biblical Doctrine, That Enemy's Goats 🐐🐐🐐 bare ... Legion

That's why Resident Joe Biden recognized "Transgender LGBTQ+" on EASTER SUNDAY, 2024. To help sow the Devil's Chaos - by promoting ABSURDITIES




DO NO HARM, Christians, but REJECT this
Godless Reprobate Agenda. WALK AWAY.

(For the thread)

“...Don’t try that with me unless he wants to meet Mr Smith...”

+1 on that.
The least of his worries wouldn’t be hoping to find some woke, so-called judge to let him off. Instead, someone would likely be picking out a coffin for the life-threatening, little basstid. Spit.

“not sure him saying I should or I may kill you is a threat”

It is wise to take people at their word when they threaten your life and act accordingly.
