Nazis will be prosecuted


The Seattle Times covered the story of that Nazi who crashed a University of Washington psych class. A couple of new details: he invaded the class twice, once at the beginning when he ran away when campus security was called, and then at the end, which prompted the mass uprising by the class. And now we know a little more about his fate:

In a statement, the university called the classroom disruption “completely unacceptable” and said the individual is not a UW student. “The instructor and several students from the class followed the person until UWPD (University of Washington Police Department) personnel arrived and took him into custody,” the statement read. “We will be issuing a ban from campus.”

UW said the case remains under investigation, with criminal charges pending. The matter will be referred to the King County prosecuting attorney’s office.

University campuses are fairly open places — you want to visit the student union and buy an ice cream cone? Go ahead. You want to stroll through the hallways and see what students are doing? You can. You want to walk into a classroom and listen to a lecture for an hour? Entirely possible, although if you disrupt the class we will have zero tolerance for that nonsense. I’ve had visitors to my classes, and it’s never been a problem. Of course, they haven’t been Nazis.

    On Reddit, there seems to be a problem on some campuses of aggressive homeless people. Lots of problems with theft and vandalism. Harassing women, camping out and wrecking bathrooms etc. Not Nazis or Pro-Palestinian agitators, but still a problem.

    Not Nazis or Pro-Palestinian agitators…

    You’re not trying to pretend those are equivalent positions, are you?
