California university praises violent protest against 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 athlete and activist Riley Gaines, who has campaigned against the entry of transgender women into women’s sports, was allegedly assaulted during an on-campus event last Thursday.

In a statement released on Saturday, SFSU Vice President for student affairs and enrollment management, Jamillah Moore, thanked the “students who participated peacefully,” and praised the mob for “demonstrat[ing] the value of free speech and the right to protest peacefully.” 

The statement also 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. 

Gaines, later confirmed she had been trapped on the SFSU campus for three hours and missed 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.
