Student who wore gorilla mask at BLM rally INDICTED by grand jury!!!

[Compost]

The guy in the gorilla mask passing out bananas was charged with civil rights intimidation. So there were other gorillas there? Do gorillas even have civil rights? Wait. It was the bananas in the crowd that were intimidated! That's it.

******* stupid. People are stupid. They seriously deserve to starve and be ruled by tyrants. Leftist Americans no longer deserve the wonderful nation they're destroying.

No way they convict him. The mere indictment is a miscarriage of justice.

uranidiot. Jury may well lock him up even if the jury is all white. Lots of whites are race traitors.

Would a black who wore a white sheet at a Klan rally be indicted for a crime?

Ex-ETSU student indicted after wearing gorilla mask at Black Lives Matter rally

march 22 2017 A former East Tennessee State University student, who dressed in overalls and a gorilla mask, then offered Black Lives Matter rally participants bananas, was indicted by a grand jury last week on charges of civil-rights intimidation.

Tristan Rettke, 18, of Hendersonville, Tenn., was originally charged with one count of civil-rights intimidation for an incident at Borchuk Plaza outside Sherrod Library on the ETSU campus. The area is considered to be a free speech zone where students can express themselves peacefully.

After a preliminary hearing Dec. 19, Rettke was bound over to a grand jury on the original charge as well as several others requested by the prosecution. Those included two types of civil-rights intimidation — by intimidating another person from their free exercise of right of speech and with the intent to intimidate other students who were exercising their right to free speech — two counts of disorderly conduct and disrupting a meeting or procession.

I believe he would be called an Uncle Tom.

if that idiot in the gorilla mask was my kid-----I would slap him silly. My answer to the legal dilemma is-------PUBLISH his photo with and without mask and some pictures of the banana distribution. Include name and address and SS #
----paste the information on telephone poles and grocery store bulletin boards and
wait for street justice

it's every bit as much of a political statement as any other. It is PROTECTED FREE SPEECH.

Somebody needs to go to jail and it's NOT the gorilla.

So basically you don't consider gorilla costumes as racist when around black people, but consider KKK outfits offensive when around Trump supporters? Fascinating.

Black at Klan Rally...would be dead.

It's truly incredible that anyone defends what is being done to this student.

BOTH are political speech. Both are protected speech -- in a sane world

Wow, although it's obvious the guy is a racist pig, but this is totally insane.

So are gorilla masks illegal now?

Apparently they are, if you go anywhere near a black event.
