That pretty much sums up what has happened on the campus of Gallaudet University as of late. You have a few factions doing their own thing creating a bit of havoc here and there. Something like vandalism at College Hall, HMB and the SAC building. The taking over buildings. The taking over campus by forcing it to shut down and deny people entrance and prevent them from going to pre-school, elementary up to high school, and even the audiology clinic as well.
And then you have a battery incident against I. King Jordan when a juice/water bottle with the content or the bottle itself that was thrown or aimed at in the direction of the university president during a building dedication to his name. And then you have a recent assault against Dr. Jane K. Fernades where some idiot threatened her with a gun. She explained to reporters when they asked her whether she has been threatened with assault. She said, "Yes, I was threatened to get shot at." Check out NBC4 video during her press conference when she said that at 23 seconds left into the video.
The incoming president said that in the midst of the the conflict she has recieved death threats and other personal attacks.If it's the loss of control, it's the protesters themselves who are losing it. Whoever threatened Dr. Fernandes with a gun or any kind of threat is a complete mindless moron.
UPDATE: A slight clarification here: "Threatened with a gun" has been changed to "threatened to get shot at" which is what Fernandes was saying. In my haste I was thinking gun when she said "shot at."
Carry on.
Hat tip to Jean for my faux pas.
