First They Came for the 'Alt-Right'

Oregon State University Student Leader Was Plastering Racial Slurs on Car Bumpers, Arrested With Eugene Neo-Nazi - Andrew Oswalt has been arrested twice at Oregon universities for spreading hateful messages and carrying a concealed weapon. [More]
The cars weren't his?

Yeah, I can see misdemeanor vandalism charges and a monetary restitution order to restore the cars to their original condition and compensate the owners for time spent dealing with it. As for the rest?

The "concealed weapon" was a knife with a 4" blade? Really? (And breaking a cardinal rule, he told an "Only One" he had it on him?)

As for his "hateful messages"?
“Many of the statements I have made do not necessarily comport with my true beliefs, because what I am doing is a form of performance art,” Oswalt said. “I attempt to communicate a particular point through what some would call mockery or lampooning.”
You want to see hate, look at those trying to destroy him -- and by extension, anyone not in lockstep with their subversion.
