WSU To Conduct Nighttime Patrols On College Campus

I’m also posting the top comment from this story and there are many that are pretty much the same.  Funny she doesn’t think the countless other ‘ethnic groups’  are just fine and dandy and there are tons of them I’ve found.   Where is the Irish Student Union, or German Student Union.  Heaven forbid, a lone White group celebrating their European hertiage would want to carry on nighttime patrols to stop innocent students from becoming victims of crime.  Keep doing what your doing WSU!  shera~

By allowing this group to use university facilities, Towson is basically supporting it. Towson is a public university using public monies to survive. If I understand correctly – any institution as this should not be allowed to receive federal/state money if they support hate groups such as this.

Founded last year, the White Student Union has stirred significant controversy already. The organization has been labeled a hate groupby the Southern Poverty Law Center. In addition, its founder, Matthew Heimbach (who goes by the title “Commander Heimbach”), and fellow organizer Scott Terry interrupted a minority outreach panel at the Conservative Political Action Conference this month in order to defend slavery, noting that slaveholders provided blacks with food and shelter. Terry later told ThinkProgress that African-Americans “should be allowed to vote in Africa” and he’d be “fine” living in a society where blacks are permanently subservient to whites.

The Towerlight has more on the vigilante plan:

The controversial White Student Union has resurfaced on Towson’s campus with plans to conduct random nighttime patrols, which members say are for students’ protection.

Some members of the group, equipped with flashlights, will conduct on-campus safety walks, and female members will carry pepper spray in an attempt to protect students from various crimes like sexual assaults and robberies, WSU President Matthew Heimbach said. [...]

Heimbach said female members have also been enrolling in self-defense classes, and members have been going to local gun ranges as a group, but not in a “military way,” Heimbach said.

He said group members would carry no weapons on the nighttime walks.

One need look no further than the White Student Union’s blog to see why their vigilante operations could turn problematic. In a blog post last month entitled “Black Crime Wave Continues!“, the group writes:

The frequent robberies, sexual assaults, and acts of vandalism at Towson University are not often reported in the local media. For those who are not Towson students it seems hard to fathom that every single day black predators prey upon the majority white Towson University student body. White Southern men have long been called to defend their communities when law enforcement and the State seem unwilling to protect our people.  MORE
