BREAKING: Suspect who destroyed College Republicans’ booth at UCSC identified as queer activist

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.

“...23-year-old queer activist, “


I believe “queer activists” get a pass on things like this. They can claim they were “triggered”. Fighting back would be assault and subject anyone doing it to jail time.

Hard to tell.

But... when the hands come up to to assault someone, all bets are off.

True that.

They're a bunch of "soyboys" who eschew the eating of red meat and sustain themselves on the drink of low "T" boys and (I use this term very loosely)"water fat" men. "Soy milk"

Paul Joseph Watson has these Leftist weenie "soyboys" pegged. https://youtu.be/QEidCVusDkY

No, not “gay,” homosexual! Let’s use the proper terms.

One of the guys should have proclaimed his belief in gender equality and knocked her teeth out.

That’s my point.

The corruption of language -> The corruption of society

"Martin, who uses 'they' and 'them' pronouns ..."

"... Martin says they are 'taking a leave of absence' from the university."

The article is using the perp's preferred pronoun instead of standard English.
