Conservative College Student in Seattle Stalked by Man Who Allegedly Tried to Run Her Down
“waited for me in his car and tried to hit me with his vehicle twice as I was walking”
Katie Daviscourt is a student at South Seattle College and a leader of the school’s Turning Point USA chapter. She recently had a scary experience with a male student who bothered her while she was at a table exhibit and allegedly tried to hit her with his car.
Jason Rantz of KTTH Radio in Seattle reported:
Rantz: Conservative college student harassed, stalked by Seattle activist
A conservative college student said she was harassed and stalked by an unhinged Seattle student activist who was mad she held views he disagreed with. After confronting her many times on campus, he allegedly tried to run her over, or intimidate her, in a parking lot. Now, the police are investigating the incident as a possible hate crime.
Katie Daviscourt is a student at South Seattle College and is the chair of their chapter of Turning Point USA, a conservative student organization. She and another student hosted a table on campus to alert classmates of their message last Thursday. This angered a man, who police have not yet identified.
“He started vandalizing our table and trying to take the posters off,” Daviscourt told the Jason Rantz Show on KTTH. “And the second he takes the ‘Big Government Sucks’ sign, I let him know, ‘sir that is actually my own personal property and stealing the ‘Big Government Sucks’ sign or taking it down can get you arrested.’ And that seemed to trigger him like no end because he ends up taking the sign and he runs out the building…”
Rory Walsh of the College Fix has more on what happened next:
Conservative student: man ‘tried to hit me with his vehicle twice’ (VIDEO)
She claims he said to her that her “organization’s views were way off base” and that she should not even have the right to call the police to report him for vandalizing and stealing her signs because of her small government views.
Daviscourt stated that she next saw the man in the parking lot and that he “waited for me in his car and tried to hit me with his vehicle twice as I was walking.” She added he hit another car as he sped away in an apparent attempt to flee the scene.
In a statement to The College Fix on Monday night, Daviscourt offered an update.
“My school has been very vocal about how horrible this event was and have given me their support,” she told The Fix. “They have offered to have campus security escort me to and from class. However they will not let me know the suspect’s name and I am unable to file a restraining order because of this.”
Stephanie Hamill of the Daily Caller interviewed Daviscourt about the incident, and you can watch it all below:
Over the last week, there has been much talk from Democrats who are apparently concerned about people inciting violence through political talk. It would be easier to take them seriously if they ever spoke out against incidents like this one.

The specter of fascism is always descending on the right, we are told, but every single time it lands on the left.
Top Grain, adjustable field belts.
Look… I expect this from Zero Hedge.
It seems to me someone needs to take to a hospital for detox. Do you have one of those opioid addictions I keep hearing about?
I’m reminded of a guy my friend who was the navigator aboard a knox class frigate told me about.

The guy had done a lot of drugs in Vietnam and it altered his brain. Still he hung on. Luckily during the ’70s the USN gave out good conduct medals based on who spent the least time in the brig. So, there he was in he ’80s there he was, on the deck of Knox class frigate, holding the kill switch, which meant as a safety observer he could stop the whole operation, as the nuclear weapons evaluators were there to make sure the crew knew how to load their ASROC (Anti-Submarine Rocket launched torpedoes, some of which had nuclear warheads, which is a really stupid idea) into the box launcher you can see aft of the forward gun and just forward of the superstructure.
So while they’re conducting the evaluation the guy looks down at the kill switch in his hand and the heavy grey cable extending from it and has a flashback, yelling, “SNAKE!” and throwing the thing as far as he could throw it.
Fortunately for the ship the druggie recovered first. He went over and picked up the kill switch and in a professional sounding voice started examining it. “I am examining the device, there appears to be no external damage, I am examining the connection to the cable…”
The ship passed the inspection because no one could believe what they had just seen.
As I do not know her.. it makes it impossible for me to know if she actually needs running down…
Dude, are you suggesting that there are people who actually need to be run down? Why don’t you tell us about that.
Isn’t it a little early for you to be that far in the tank?
Stop it. Get some help.
But, as a Conservative… I would expect she is of moral character…. and good and decent person.
These Leftist’s… they all sheep.
Oh I know we’ll tell them Dems are the real violent ones! That will convince everybody of the error of their ways. It works for Dems are the real racists, right? Everyone cares about that.
Forget it, it’s Seattle. Might as well complain about the junkies and feces in the street.
We are no longer one nation it’s not going to get better.
That’s why leftist herd animals make such good Gulag/Concentration camp guards. Because those inside are unpersons. It never crosses their mind to question it, mostly because they have no mind that any thought has ever crossed.
Conservatives, especially Christian conservatives, have a much harder if not impossible time unpersoning people.
That’s Seattle in a nutshell.
He might just be a public school librarian working off his anger over being laid off AFTER Washington taxpayers dumped 7 Billon extra dollars into the school budgets.
Our taxes were jacked by historic amounts, and then suddenly all the schools are having to lay off staff and increase class size.
Perhaps someone from the media could ask Governor Do Nothing Jay about this on the campaign trail. I mean now that the Mueller report is out, they must have some time on their hands.
This is what happens when Amazon and Starbucks get tired of being extorted, fight back, and leave the scrambling socialists to find smaller targets (ordinary citizens) to confiscate from.
Someone has to go so more propagandists, excuse me, administrators can be hired.
The thing that still frosts me is that the state supreme court decided that not enough money was spent on schools so added, by judicial fiat, additional real estate tax for that purpose. Every time I see that on the property tax bill I want to go find some rope…
Yeah I thought the court overstepped their bounds in prescribing HOW to fix it. The court’s authority IMO and IMU of the roles of the branches of government should have been a binary yay/nay on whether the schools were under funded and the legislature’s problem was to solve it.
uber lefty Danny Westneat of the Seattle times flat out acknowledged that the unions went on strike and took the money for double digit pay increases in order to use up all the money and create another crisis. Not surprisingly he blames the malaise… ie- it couldn’t possibly be problem of the democrats who have controlled the state for 3 decades (20+ years of dem governors who all ran on education).
If you want that Big Louie and the boys should visit the bad guy, just say the word. It would be helpful to have some assistance with travel costs.
Big Louie being the US DOJ.
The school knows who this crazy person is, and they are shielding him from a protective order. That is not a smart move. If he manages to get to her because she cannot get court protection, she should sue the school into oblivion. It might be nice to own a school.
Fortunately, the solution is simple enough. She needs escorts. She should put out the word that she would appreciate them. She should smile at all the guys, and cheerfully accept any offer to be escorted on even a two-minute walk. The idea is to have a witness around, in order to deter the jerk. Women are fine as escorts, too, but honestly, this jerk is into physical intimidation, so guys are especially valuable as a complete deterrent.
It could become a campus thing. Chivalry isn’t even close to dead, and neither is the notion of community protection from jerks.
* It would have been disrespectful for me to associate Vincent R. Capodanno with the earlier comment. I was just looking for a generic picture of a Knox class frigate. Instead I found FF-1093. All I can say, after the Notre Dame fire, is it must be Holy Week. Here’s what you should know about “The Grunt Padre.” Attention to Citation.
“For conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of his life above and beyond the call of duty as Chaplain of the 3d Battalion, in connection with operations against enemy forces. In response to reports that the 2d Platoon of M Company was in danger of being overrun by a massed enemy assaulting force, Lt. Capodanno left the relative safety of the company command post and ran through an open area raked with fire, directly to the beleaguered platoon. Disregarding the intense enemy small-arms, automatic-weapons, and mortar fire, he moved about the battlefield administering last rites to the dying and giving medical aid to the wounded. When an exploding mortar round inflicted painful multiple wounds to his arms and legs, and severed a portion of his right hand, he steadfastly refused all medical aid. Instead, he directed the corpsmen to help their wounded comrades and, with calm vigor, continued to move about the battlefield as he provided encouragement by voice and example to the valiant marines. Upon encountering a wounded corpsman in the direct line of fire of an enemy machine gunner positioned approximately 15 yards away, Lt. Capodanno rushed a daring attempt to aid and assist the mortally wounded corpsman. At that instant, only inches from his goal, he was struck down by a burst of machine gun fire. By his heroic conduct on the battlefield, and his inspiring example, Lt. Capodanno upheld the finest traditions of the U.S. Naval Service. He gallantly gave his life in the cause of freedom.”
While beautiful, churches aren’t built of stone and stained glass.
I mean, Holy Week. And I get ” The Grunt Padre.”
Must be a sign. BTW the delay an only explained I was awe inspired.
*can only be explained…
I bought a refurbished HP laptop like a year ago and already not all the keys work all the time. Among other problems.
Can we or same Reddit group help her force the school to ID the perp, and then push the DA to file appropriate charges? A car is a deadly weapon, even a 7 mph tap can result in your head hitting the pavement, that’s not counting the possibility of being run over. Perhaps the assailant is rich and connected, or is connected to the school administration in some way.
Can’t she report the incidents to the real police? Hit and run along with attempted murder are serious crimes and should be prosecuted.
That is exactly what she should do. File a real police complaint and she will be able to get his name that way and then she can file a restraining order.
The school is stupidly assuming liability by shielding a nutter student instead of immediately expelling him and filing their own trespassing order. They will end up with more idiot students behaving aggressively as a result, followed by the inevitable lawsuits from both sides. I don’t know who their legal counsel is, but they are obviously not top shelf thinkers.
Seattle prosecutors will not do a thing about this. Nor will the school unless legally forced. Seattle is becoming as bad as Berkeley.
I’m surprised that this old hot rodder likes this 2011 Toyota Tacoma pre runner so much. It only has a 2.7L four cylinder. But the engine was designed and built by Toyota’s commercial truck division. I realize that a 2.7L four cylinder doesn’t seem like the kind of engine you’d put in a commercial truck but it’s just the thing for in-town driving in Asia and increasingly here.
But I’m feeling the need for a new hot rod. I need to check the emissions laws here as in Collin county we have to get our engines checked. But I’m thinking F250 in whatever year I can get away with this:

“My 1927 ford 300 i6 hot rod build first day fire up”
Listen to that sweet sound! No need for a v8, six in a row will make her go. I don’t know if the three down draft carbs will fit under the hood. It’d be sweet if they do.
Then a big winch bumper, grill guard, and Aussie type bull bars welded to the frame.
So if I ever see this kind of sh*t I can ram the @$$hole and just drive away unscratched after I leave his little lefty arse in a steaming pile of junk.
Which means I’m gonna need a really good driver/passenger restraint system and…
