A meeting in West Virginia University between college conservatives and progressive leftists turned to blows after one of the progressives lost his temper and forced them out of the conversation.
Per videos captured by conservative participants, the groups had met up to discuss a possible public debate on Wednesday night when a male student, Kelley Dunham, refused to tolerate the presence of the conservative students from the campus’ chapter of Turning Point USA.
The source of the video identified Dunham to The College Fix as the president of a WVU student group called the Gender Equality Movement. He is also a member of the West Virginia University Left Alliance.
In the video, the physically-imposing Dunham can be seen menacing a female student before a male student steps between them. The loudmouth makes a show of walking off before heading back towards the student recording him and appears to assault him, all the while yelling “get the f**k out!”
Dunham objected to being recorded on video and demanded the students hand over their phones to him. Under West Virginia’s “one-party recording” law, it is legal for a person to record something if they are party to the communication.
“F**k you, f**k you, you f**king conservative piece… Don’t f**king film us,” muttered Dunham as he attempted to grab their phones. The video ends at that point.
The woman in the video, Kaitlynn Critchfield, told The College Fix that Denham threw her against the wall and tried to take her phone before another student started recording the altercation seen in the video. Critchfield uploaded the videos to her Facebook account and gave the website permission to post them.
The WVU administration has since issued a statement about the altercation in response to a report by The Blaze, stating that it was currently under investigation by the university’s Student Conduct. The administration states that neither party wished to press charges against the other.
Since the inauguration of Donald Trump as the nation’s 45th president, there has been an uptick in political violence from the progressive left across college campuses in America. Last week, a shooting at the University of Washington left an Antifa leftist seriously wounded during a protest against Milo Yiannopoulos. Outside of college, full-time crazy person Shia LeBeouf was arrested for assaulting a 4chan troll who made fun of the actor.
