Video: Trump shirt-wearing WSU student suspended after pulling knife on campus

Source: Detroit Metro Times



Wayne State University officials say a student was suspended after brandishing a knife and making threatening comments about immigrants on Tuesday.

According to a witness, the student approached a table where members of the activist group BAMN were passing out flyers about immigrant rights. A video provided to Metro Times shows the man open his jacket to show off a "Trump 2020" shirt and pull out a switchblade. He then says, "I think we should deport or kill all illegals that don't belong in our country."

Things escalated from there. One student yelled back, "So you're a Nazi? Get the fuck out of here." Another student yelled, "You want to kill somebody? Kill yourself."

BAMN member Kate Stenvig says this is the third time the group has had an altercation with the student, though it's the first time things escalated this far. Previously, Stenvig says he shouted "Make America great again!" while walking past their table.

White privilege = "suspended" instead of being arrested and "expelled", which is what should happen here.

Wayne State student suspended after pulling knife on student activists
2:41 PM, Feb 14, 2018

DETROIT (WXYZ) - A student at Wayne State University in Detroit has been placed on interim suspension after brandishing a knife at student activists, calling to "deport and kill all illegals."

The student activists were seated at a table for their student organization BAMN, the Coalition to Defend Affirmative Action, Integration & Immigrant Rights, and Fight for Equality By Any Means Necessary.

The student was identified as Corbin Steele, who studies in Wayne State's College of Engineering.

Wayne State says the police department is aware of the incident and has identified and talked with Steele.

to allow time to determine if he is an ongoing threat to others or himself. This needs to be treated as the very serious threat it is. Mentally healthy people don't brandish weapons at people they disagree with.
