UConn President’s Reaction To Outrageous Behavior Is Even More Outrageous Than The Offense

Why is it that every time there’s a free-speech outrage on campus college administrators learn the wrong lessons?

State authorities in Connecticut have determined that Gateway Pundit correspondent Lucian Wintrich did nothing illegal when he tried to retrieve his lecture notes from a social justice warrior who stole them from the lectern during a contentious talk at the University of Connecticut last month. Instead, the woman who took the papers is being charged with larceny and disorderly conduct.

For some reason, Wintrich was arrested by police officers when the woman used a lull in the proceedings during an extended walk-out to grab the papers and make for an exit. Video shows that Wintrich caught up to her and made contact with her to get his papers back. Prosecutors made the right call to drop charges against him Monday.
