Fresno State Professor Who Said ‘Trump Must Hang’ Apologizes Profusely, Flees Fresno
2017-04-17
For some, learning is a slow, painful process.
[DAILYCALLER] The history professor at Caliphornia, an impregnable bastion of the Democratic Party, State University, Fresno who appeared to advocate for the death of President Donald Trump
...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States...
on Twitter has apologized profusely and taken a temporary leave of absence in some holy man's guesthouse an undisclosed location because he now fears for his personal safety.

The professor, Lars Maischak, composed the tweets around the end of February. The tweets called for Trump to "hang" in order to "save American democracy." "The sooner and the higher, the better." The only "cure" for racist people is a bullet to their head, the tweets also said. Maischak used hashtags including "#TheResistance" and "#DeathToFascism."

Maischak says he now deeply regrets composing and publishing the tweets.

"I ask forgiveness of those who felt threatened or offended by them," Maischak wrote in a statement obtained by the Los Angeles Times. "It was never my intent to harm anyone, nor to encourage others to harm anyone."

"I never expected them to be read by anyone but a close circle of acquaintances who would know to place them in their context," Maischak also said in the Wednesday statement.

He did not intend for the now-deleted Twitter account to be viewed as an "invitation, or endorsement of, violence," he said.

#11  One would think a professor would figure out how the platform works before putting treasonous material out for the world to see.

#10  I'd like to know what his intended 'context' was. Just what were you trying to communicate, Professor? Put it in words everyone can understand. Bring it down to our level!

#9  Sounds like the bully who picks on and picks on the big guy on campus and when the big guy has had enough and pounds him will whine "Can't you take a joke?"...

#8  Ahh, the intellectual quality of a University professor on display.

He should be immediately fired for terminal stupidity.

Next time just use an airplane to sky write your drivel I'm sure only your close circle will look up.

Seems like his close circle of acquaintances need to visited by the Secret Service as well. Mary Surratt, Lewis Powell (a.k.a. Payne), David Herold & George Atzerodt to the courtesy phone.

#3  I assume the 'context' is they were intended to be read only by those who share his views.

Charge him with inciting terrorism.
