California university backs violent riots against swimmer

Women’s sports advocate Riley Gaines has vowed to sue after she was assaulted at San Francisco State University

An administrator at San Francisco State University has defended the actions of student protesters after women’s sports advocate Riley Gaines was allegedly assaulted during a Turning Point USA event on campus on Thursday. She released a statement on Saturday praising the mob for “demonstrat[ing] the value of free speech and the right to protest peacefully.” 

Thanking the “students who participated peacefully,” SFSU Vice President for student affairs and enrollment management Jamillah Moore offered “counseling and psychological services” to students who needed to “reflect, process and begin to heal” after hounding Gaines off campus. “It took tremendous bravery to stand in such a challenging space,” she wrote. 

After speaking at the event, Gaines, who has campaigned against the entry of transgender women into women’s sports since being forced to share a locker room with transgender swimmer Lia Thomas, was trapped on the SFSU campus for three hours, missing her flight home “because it was not safe to leave,” she told Campus Reform on Tuesday. 

The prisoners are running the asylum at SFSU...I was ambushed and physically hit twice by a man. This is proof that women need sex-protected spaces.

Still only further assures me I'm doing something right. When they want you silent, speak louder.
