A regent for the University of Michigan was at home sleeping along with his wife and small children this week, when anti-Israel student protesters showed up at his door and posted a list of demands.
Can we finally stop pretending that some of these people aren’t terrorists?
FOX News reports:
University of Michigan regent says anti-Israel protesters intruded at his home at 4:40 AM: ‘Not peaceful’University of Michigan regent Jordan Acker said masked anti-Israel protesters intruded at his home “with a list of demands” early Wednesday morning while his wife and children were sleeping inside.In a post on X with more than 1 million views, Acker said a “masked intruder” showed up at his residence with a list of demands, “including defending the police.””My three daughters were asleep in their beds, and thankfully unaware of what transpired,” Acker wrote.In a news release, the University of Michigan said more than 30 student protesters staged demonstrations at the private residences of at least one Board of Regents member and went to several other residences. The protesters placed tents and fake corpses wrapped in bloodied sheets on the lawn, marched and chanted in the early morning and posted lists of demands on doors.The protesters hid their identities with masks. On social media, the university’s chapters of Jewish Voice for Peace (JVP), Students Allied for Freedom and Equality (SAFE) and Transparency, Accountability, Humanity, Reparations, Investment, Resistance (TAHRIR) Coalition took credit for the demonstrations. The same groups were responsible for organizing the anti-Israel encampment on the university’s Central Campus Diag, school officials said.
Mr. Acker wasn’t the only U. Michigan regent subjected to this harassment.
Here’s a local video report:
The school’s office of public affairs posted this response:
Early this morning, more than 30 student protesters staged demonstrations at the private residence of at least one U-M Board of Regents member and went to several others’ residences. Activities included placing tents and fake corpses wrapped in bloodied sheets on the lawn, marching and chanting, and posting demands on doors.Individuals hid their identities by wearing masks. The following student groups, who also have organized the encampment on the university’s Central Campus Diag, claimed responsibility on social media: Jewish Voice for Peace (JVP) at the University of Michigan, Students Allied for Freedom and Equality (SAFE) and Transparency, Accountability, Humanity, Reparations, Investment, Resistance (TAHRIR) Coalition. Additional social media posts followed on those same accounts restating demands directed at the U-M Regents.The protesters began to disperse once law enforcement arrived on the scene.The tactics used today represent a significant and dangerous escalation in the protests that have been occurring on campus. Going to an individual’s private residence is intimidating behavior and, in this instance, illegal trespassing. This kind of conduct is not protected speech; it’s dangerous and unacceptable.
The longer this goes on, the worse it is going to get. These people are becoming dangerously aggressive.
