Washington University student senator is caught removing 2,977 American flags commemorating victims of 9/11

[Daily Mail, Where America Gets Its News]
Hi! I'm Fadel. I'm a Moslem first and an American way second. Maybe third or fourth... Or fifth. 
A student senator at Washington University is being accused of snatching up 2,977 American flags to commemorate the lives lost in the 9/11 terror attacks on the 20th anniversary before throwing them in trash bags. Fadel Alkilani, who serves as chairman of the student senate finance committee at the St Louis, Missouri university, is allegedly seen filling blue trash bags with the minature flags used as part of the 9/11: Never Forget Project memorial.

A video posted to Twitter by the Young Americans for Freedom, show as the cameraman confronts Alkilani.

'Who are you?' Alkilani asks the cameraman, identified as Nathaniel Hope, a member of the university's College Republicans.

Hope described Alkilani as showing 'no remorse' before claiming the flags were a 'violation of school rules.'

'I did not violate any university or legal policy. Now go away,' Alkilani told YAF.

Meanwhile,
...back at the shootout, another bullet hole appeared in Butch's hat......
 Alkilani allegedly boasted about the act on his Twitter, which has since been set to private.

He claimed the move was done in 'protest against American imperialism and the 900,000 lives lost as a result of post 9/11 war.'

On Instagram, he bemoaned the widespread condemnation he had received online as the story circulated on social media.

'Republicans (are) attacking me in the replies,' Alkilani wrote while sharing a post from Washington University in St. Louis's Instagram account.

In a statement posted on social media, Alkilani said that 'there is currently a massive harassment campaign propagated primarily by Washington University College Republicans, as well as the national Young American's Foundation (YAF)' regarding an incident that occurred around 6am on Saturday, September 11, 2021.'

'There is a large amount of misinformation circulating,' he said before denying he was stealing flags from the campus.

Fox News reports that he had tried to destroy the memorial a night prior on Friday, but was stopped by campus police while doing so, students said.

The news outlet reached out to Alkilani, Washington University and campus police, however there has been no response as of early Sunday morning.

Elsewhere on Saturday, thousands of people gathered in Lower Manhattan for the 20th anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks.

Related: Mr. Alkilani’s LinkedIn page is no longer public, so we can’t learn more about the chairman of the Washington U student senate finance committee that way.

#9  Remember. Otto Warmbier got a nightstick lobotomy for taking 1 poster in NKor. This clown will probably get some sort of award.

#8  Since theft is actually a legal policy, a decent campus police department might have arrested him and the university might have required him to put the flags back as they were. But, everyone seems to be afraid he would scream the usual bullsh*t and pout. After all, he is a "protected class" feeling free to insult the rest of us. If ever a kid was a candidate for a dorm blanket party....

#6  Time was this witty prankster might have subsequently encountered some campus funsters himself. They would have been easy to recognize carrying 45 lbs of bacon and 15 rolls of duct tape.

Yes indeed! Such media and disinformation entities are not concerned about profit or loss. They have virtually unlimited funding flows from secret, Deep State coffers. Their strategic advisors are 'Top Men' recruited from the ranks of powerful Washington organizations.

Every HR Dept in the USA needs to printout and keep a record of this A-Hole.

Thus avoiding employing him and the negative PR that WILL follow him to their company.
