College Republicans at the University of Utah were attacked by a transgender student yesterday while tabling an event and asking a poll question about gender. The student, identified as "Amber Grace," now faces assault and property damage charges.
"I think Republicans should be shot in the streets, personally."

"Do you believe that we should have the right to freedom of speech?" one of the College Republicans asks.
"No," laughs Grace. "I think Republicans should be shot in the street, personally."
"So you're advocating for straight up violence toward people you disagree with?" the student asks.
Then Grace appears to lunge forward and attack the student.
"Stop! Get off! What the f**k?" the student yells. "Get away from me! Get off me! Holy s**t!"
Grace ripped the student's shirt in the attack.

This comes after a Trump supporter was stabbed outside President Trump's rally in Ohio last night. Video of that incident showed what appeared to be an orange pocket knife in the man's back while police tried to address the issue and apprehend the suspect.
Calling for violence against Republicans and then attacking a student is not free speech. The University of Utah and local police need to hold that student fully accountable.

This stops when people are held accountable and face consequences.
"So you advocate for straight-up violence against people you disagree with," says naïve young man to the trans guy in front of him.

It was not just words; it was violence.
