An adjunct law professor at the University of Oregon was arrested, charged and ultimately fired from his post after an incident with a group of students hosting a pro-immigration demonstration on campus last week, reports The Blaze.
The Blaze summed up the incident:
Based on the videos uploaded to YouTube, it is unclear exactly how the altercation started. At the beginning the video showing the conflict, it appears that (Professor James) Olmsted is talking with a demonstrator about the colonization of America.
“But your colonization was much more sinister,” one of the demonstrators said back at him.
“If you want this country back, start a f***ing war and take it back,” Olmsted said. “Start a war. Get a gun. Shoot me first. I’m right here.”
“That’s not how we have to do things,” another said. “It’s time for us to do things differently, man.”
“To make something happen,” Olmsted continued, “you need lots of people to do an action and get hurt. …This is nice but it’s really small.”
At this point, Olmsted, who specializes in land trusts and conservation easement law, steps closer to a female filming (off camera) unzips and takes off his jacket. She says, “I’m feeling very threatened right now,” and at this point a tall, backpack-wearing student steps in.
Olmsted pushes and curses at the man, accusing him of being in his space. At one point, Olmsted also removes his glasses and puts them on the ground and even pushes the tall man while going chest-to-chest with him.
He later takes and pockets the phone of a young woman filming the scene.
