| Professor convicted of vandalizing National Rifle Association lobbyist's home with fake blood |
| 2018-05-22 |
| [HudsonValley360] A woman was found guilty Monday of spraying fake blood on the steps of the Alexandria, Virginia, home of National Rifle Association lobbyist Chris Cox in January. Patricia Hill, a sociology professor from Nebraska, was ordered to pay a $500 fine, not contact the Cox family, and stay 500 feet away from their home. If she does not comply, she could owe another $500. She is also under a temporary restraining order that bars her from Cox's wife's business and from NRA offices in Virginia and Washington, D.C. And on Monday after court, Hill was served with a warrant for another vandalism charge, stemming from a similar incident in October. Nebraska? Seriously?! There is something very wrong in Americas colleges. Melody Vaccaro, vice president of Nebraskans Against Gun Violence, came to support Hill. She said Cox was a hypocrite for demanding prosecution and a protective order over fake blood while lobbying for open carrying of deadly weapons across the country. "We think this is the NRA using the criminal justice system to reign terror on regular people," Vaccaro said. And other (aligned) places too I guess. |

| #5 Does Virginia still have 'chain gangs'? Maybe a few hundred hours scrubbing graffiti off of walls might get the point across that defacing other people's property is a bad idea. |

| #2 Research Assistant Professor = nontenured. People like her are: (a) desperate, and (b) know only one way (being a loud leftard - note the total absence of publications in her CV*) for academic advancement. *I remember when you couldn't get PhD without publications. |

| #1 Once upon a time, college professor was a respectable occupation. Nowadays, they seem to fill the ecological niche formerly occupied by unmedicated lunatics. |
