I’m sure he thought he was being clever

Some asshat over at Illinois State University in Normal, IL decided to show his tolerance by flipping over a TPUSA table this last week sending everything flying.

Prior to this bit of asshattery, he decided to try to create an equivalency between Jesus driving out the moneylenders and some kids with pins and flyers sitting at a table.

The accused vandal, Derek Lopez, was caught on camera speaking to a man standing near the  table — which had been set up by students in the group to promote political YouTuber and comedian Alex Stein’s Oct. 20 event at the university, according to video, local police and various X posts about the ugly incident.

“Well, you know, Jesus did it, so you know I gotta do it, right?” Lopez, 27, of El Paso, Ill. — a teacher’s assistant and graduate student at the university — tells the man before the footage shows him tossing the table over, sending pins, flyers and other items rocketing into the air.

He got arrested, which is unusual in these cases. He’s a graduate teaching assistant (for now) and he also tore down flyers and did the same thing to another table (no details on that incident).

Sounds like he has some serious anger issues combined with the emotional maturity of a two year old. Pretty sure he needs to not be around any students.

    The lack of self-awareness is mind-boggling, screeching about tyranny and oppression while attacking someone over their opinion or speech.

  7. If you truly thought you were fighting National Socialists, why wouldn’t you risk your job to attack them? The problem is these idiots are miseducated and brainwashed into believing that up is down, down is up, libertarianism is fascism, and totalitarianism is freedom. They are bright enough to know “Nazi bad” but are not bright enough to know that they’ve adopted most of the National Socialists agenda (including antisemitism, e.g., “from the river to the sea”).

    My daughter-in-law is finishing her degree in IT, and every course has a section on social activism. At this point, I absolutely would not sacrifice my children to the university system. That is one American system that needs to be fully dismantled before being rebuilt from the ground up with a thorough cleansing getting rid of left-wing extremist idealogy.
