What really happened at Ohio University when Kaitlin Bennett showed up? We talk to OU students about the protests

After she posted the tweet, right-wing activists were incensed by Bennett’s treatment, viewing it as symptomatic of the campus left’s hostility toward any viewpoints that are not perceived as liberal. “does not protect young women from assault on their campus Campus cops on video standing by and watching while Kaitlin Bennett was surrounded and assaulted by a violent, cult-like mob,” far-right thought leader Jack Posobiec tweeted.

and said the comment was unacceptable, Bennett said, “‘If I can change my gender, I can change my race.”said the protests were undoubtedly heated; as seen in the footage, protesters chanted “shit your pants,” threw toilet paper.

On Twitter, Bennett also claimed that OU campus police had failed to provide sufficient security for her and her entourage. In a statement, the OU campus police refuted this, saying that not only had Bennett arrived on campus unexpectedly, thus preventing them from staffing up for her arrival, but that the protests “did not rise to the level of a riot.

In the wake of the footage of Bennett’s campus visit going viral, many on the right have attempted to frame the OU campus as a primarily liberal one. Although the campus town of Athens has been viewed as a bastion of liberalism in a predominantly red state, this conception is not entirely true, says Bartek, who self-identifies as conservative. “If I had to guess there were conservatives in the crowd and they just disagree with how she disrespects people,” she says.

“I think she came to OU looking for some sort of reaction whether it be good or bad,” says Sucre. “And she definitely caused a scene.”

She looked 53 years old is what happened

Who?

Slow news day?

stop feeding the trolls. Kaitlin Bennett is a troll. Stop feeding her. Block her. It is liberating.

She shit herself?

According to my TL, she shit her pants

I would give her a sip of my water.

The school ran out of hair bands?

A bunch of media dipshits gave her a big platform for the potential skat show?

Police told the truth about it. There was abusive speech on both sides & the people in the area think they're all missing some screws.

We’ve seen Wizard of Oz, we know what happens to a witch who gets splashed with water

Not what she said.

No one cares...

There is something about her that really makes me hate her 😂 still don't know what it is

Liberals triggered

This right here is what happened ' SHIT YOUR PANTS'!!!

Nice liberal take....ignoring all the evidence. No wonder there’s only 9 comments.

when people ask if I care that Kaitlin Bennett was ran off campus:

Next

future nostalgia out april 3rd

“Far right thought leader Jack Posobiec” FOH

Oh no - did she sh*t her pants AGAIN?

This:

She’s scary.

Your stories are biased... you’ve lost your way.

Anything for that 15min of fame

She stated on her twitter to come back with others w/ guns. I think this little girl should be on a list and any other nationalists that agree. This girl is just perplexing to me she goes around the country making herself look like a fool.

Flops

Democrats are getting out of control!! Karma will strike back eventually!!!

Why continue to add fuel to this fire? Deprive it of oxygen. Give Bennett no audience.

Uber right wing whack job’s crack me up.

She pooped her pants again?

Because we can totally trust Rolling Stone to give us an unbiased breakdown of the truth !!
