So she wasn't even talking about Kirk, but Toronto Sun Columnist Joe Warmington twisted it to make it about Kirk's killing. Isn't Toronto Sun owned by right-wing Americans? Why isn't this foreign intervention?
The professor, Ruth Marshall, who is reportedly now on leave, had tweeted comments that media platforms and activists on the right and far right had interpreted as celebrating the death of Charlie Kirk.
It’s not very professional to post that on your social media, but it’s now been a school in Ottawa and a university that have been shut down due to these people posting threats online.
At some point we need to acknowledge that these people are highly problematic. It’s not rational to go from offended to death threats. That’s all this is, people being offended and passing threats online.
- Any university Professor stupid enough to be active on X in 2025 deserves all they get.
I thought it was talking about the leader of the X-Men.
- Read that too quickly, too!
JFC. Is there no critical thought to be found on the right? These idiots will simply believe anything they're told.
- If there was, there wouldn't be a right wing.
Heaven help the man who comes for his students.
Drug Fraud, Joe Warmington and Nolan Quinn should all go back to school and learn how to disseminate truth from fiction.
Or maybe they can all just be fired from their jobs and go back to shovelling shit instead ... 'cause it's the only thing they do well.
