Melissa Click, the University of Missouri communications professor who garnered widespread scorn for trying to physically remove a student reporter from a campus protest, was formally charged with assault Monday morning.

A spokeswoman for the Columbia Prosecutor’s Office said Click was being charged with third degree assault, a class C misdemeanor that carries a possible 15-day jail sentence.

Click was caught on video calling for “some muscle” to remove a student reporter from an area on the university’s flagship campus where protesters had gathered. The protests eventually led to the resignation of University of Missouri System President Tim Wolfe and Mizzou Chancellor R. Bown Loftin. Click, however, remains as an assistant professor in the Department of Communications.

That is brilliant. Is that a real mural or photoshopped?

Just a ‘shop. Taken from Instapundit, who I think cobbed it from another PJ Media site somewhere’s. I wish to hell it was a real mural, right there on the Mizzou Quad.

Not quite. They said she keeps her job for now. Is she going to hold class in jail?

When are taxpayers going to stop funding the government schools and colleges that are nothing but propaganda mills?

Good. Anti-First Amendment thug.

Melissa had a brief “Mussolini moment”.

So glad the Germans invented the word schadenfreude.

Looks like it’s easy to steal other prisoner’s lunches.
