Judgment Day for prof who wants to 'kill all' Christians
2019-08-28
[WND] Apparently, officials at an Iowa community college aren't comfortable with a professor threatening to "clock" President Trump with a baseball bat and "bury" evangelical Christians "deep in the ground."

Jeff Klinzman, who taught English at Kirkwood Community College in Cedar Rapids, wrote he wants to "stop evangelical Christians" and "[k]ill them all and bury them deep in the ground."

"It's not pretty, and I'm not proud," he wrote, "but seeing what evangelical Christians are doing to this country and its people fills me with rage, and a desire to exact revenge."

Boasting of being a part of the often-violent, far-left group "antifa," he responded to President Trump describing antifa in a tweet as, "Radical Left Wack Jobs who go around hitting … people over the heads with baseball bats."

Klinzman reacted on Twitter, "Yeah, I know who I'd clock with a bat ..."

Now, according to Washington Examiner, he resigned after the college decided to "remove him from the classroom."

Lori Sundberg, the college's president, explained the decision had "nothing to do with the substance of his views or his right to express them."

"Rather, our decision is based solely on our commitment to fostering a safe learning environment for our students, faculty and staff," she said.

Robby Soave, an associate editor for the libertarian publication, Reason, backed Klinzman, saying the decision was "another example of campuses prioritizing nebulous safety concerns over free speech."

He argue that neither Klinzman's "support for antifa nor his stated interest in hitting someone (implied to be Trump) with a bat represents any actual threat."

#11  Because for every nut who's exposed, Tom, there are hundreds more who are involved one way or another in spreading this poison.

Next to Berkeley is another Panti-Fa shittyprof, a community college professor of - get this - philosophy who was identified, arrested and convicted of more than a half dozen cases of battery with a deadly weapon: his steel U-shaped bike lock, which he used again and again to smash people's skulls. It's on video.

Being in Berkeley, the judge of course gave him a 3-year suspended sentence. and being masked, this vermin is free to once again venture out and smash skulls with Panty-Fa.

Certainly, this country has hundreds of professors who dream of sallying forth, bike lock or baseball bat at the ready, to smash skulls?

How many US college profs are actually doing so right now?

#10  Not to be overly snobbish (OK, to be overly snobbish), this guy is an adjunct who teaches one course at a community college in a small town in Iowa. Doesn't appear to be the next Einstein. Why should anyone care what this nut case thinks? And, more to the point, why should anyone hire him? Ever?

#6  "With the safety of our students, faculty and staff as our top concern, we made the decision this morning to identify an instructor who will take over the one course that Mr. Klinzman was to have taught this semester. We have spoken with Mr. Klinzman this afternoon about this matter and have accepted his resignation," KCC President Lori Sundberg said.

One course? Guess he got bored with the light load.

#4  Not enough. He should be interrogated like any muslim or swastika tattooed punk who would've if they'd said the same things. This man is unhinged, he may instigate or carry out a vehicle attack on just anybody in the future.

#3  Colleges really want to expel profs or students who wear a MAGA hat or say 'there are two genders' or 'all lives matter'.

So they occasionally expel an egregious leftist nut job.

#2  English "prof", my arse:

"Radical Left Wack Jobs who go around hitting": -1 sp whack

"I know who I'd clock with a bat": -3 whom

".....a desire to exact revenge" -5 logical fail. You cannot gain "revenge" because your honor has not been impugned: you never had any to begin with.

Grade: F
as in F off and get lost, scum
