Gateway Pundit Blogger Arrested at UConn Speech After Altercation
Protests of conservatives at college campuses have gotten out of control lately. But speakers should know better than to respond with violence. Such tactics are the province of the left, and should stay that way. Unfortunately, a Gateway Pundit reporter apparently has yet to learn that lesson. The Daily Beast reports:
Lucian Wintrich, a White House reporter for the far-right site Gateway Pundit, was arrested during a speech at the University of Connecticut on Tuesday evening after a physical altercation with a female attendee. Multiple videos of the event show Wintrich grabbing the woman from behind after she took his written notes from the podium during a pause in the event, which drew large protests.
Here is some of the video of the incident:

Ben Shapiro, no stranger to violent disruptions and protests at his speeches, had these thoughts:
1. Stealing people’s notes is dumb and bad.
2. This is a NUTS response to someone stealing your notes.
Agreed and agreed. But a NUTS response is what you would expect from someone associated with that garbage Web site.
[Cross-posted at RedState and The Jury Talks Back.]
Quite right.
The appropriate response to in-your-face theft is to turn around, bend over, pull down your pants and beg: “Lefties, please cornhole me! More! More!”
Isn’t that what Roosevelt said to Hitler?

narciso (d1f714) — 11/28/2017 @ 9:41 pmI’m guessing that I’m going to banned from Patterico for suggesting that stealing his briefcase, (or any personal property of his) is fine, because he won’t actually try to take it back. Because trying to take back your own personal property is really really wrong, according to Patterico.
Jack (e5af45) — 11/28/2017 @ 9:42 pmHa, ha, ha! Lucian Wintrich of “Twinks For Trump”? Yeah, a girl would be about his speed, and most of them an overmatch in the girl’s favor.

narciso (d1f714) — 11/28/2017 @ 9:56 pmIsn’t there a cutoff age for twinks? Like 21 or something? Wintrich is 29, and the other one who calls himself a “Twink For Trump”, Milo Yiannopoulos, is 33.
nk (dbc370) — 11/28/2017 @ 9:59 pmActually, he does have a good defense. He prevented a thief from absconding with his property and the force he used appears reasonable to me. In Texas, he could have shot her in the back legally.
nk (dbc370) — 11/28/2017 @ 10:02 pmI question the veracity of the accuser’s story.
What did she say?
Dave (445e97) — 11/28/2017 @ 10:12 pmGoing back to torts in law school — “right to repossession” anyone??
Its a defense to an intentional tort.
Not sure if it can be used as an affirmative defense in a criminal prosecution.
shipwreckedcrew (56b591) — 11/28/2017 @ 10:16 pmPlease tell all of us Mr. Patterico under what circumstance it is all right for anyone to take my stuff and under what circumstances you’ll allow me to try and take my stuff back from the people who took it.
And then apply those rules to you.
As far as I can tell, Patterico is saying it is not just OK to take some one elses stuff, it is wrong for those people to try and take it back.
Jack (e5af45) — 11/28/2017 @ 10:18 pmShe had not yet absconded, so it’s not repossession but defense of personal property. Here is the Illinois law (I imagine similar to that of other MPC states):

Kevin M (752a26) — 11/29/2017 @ 12:32 amIt looks bad, but I’m surprised he was arrested unless that was the only way to protect him. No one would prosecute and expect to win.
Kevin M (752a26) — 11/29/2017 @ 12:50 amJack, there’s no need to be so general and vague when we have specifics. The property stolen was notes. The context was political activism on video. Using violence, knocking a woman down, is an insane way to respond to something worth little, easily replaceable, probably just talking points he would happily post on the internet for all to see. This is about power, not property. It’s like defending that man who ran over the girl at the protest a while back. Because of him, all those statues were ripped down. As a political effort, his was a disaster.
Patterico was clear that even in this stupid scenario, taking the stuff was wrong, so you already have your answer and are refusing to listen to it.
Like you said, he’s a goofball whether or not he had a legal basis to use violence to get his nearly worthless piece of paper back, a severe remedy to a peppercorn of damages.
Even 20 years ago the idea of a man knocking a woman down for anything but desperate self defense would seem obviously wrong to anyone on the right side of the spectrum. Real men do not hit women, unless the need to do so is an emergency.
Good point, nk, but that’s the important part of the Illinois law. And was it necessary that he knock the woman to the ground? Could he have gotten the paper back from the massive presence of others in the room, the video evidence of the theft, her easy identification, the presence of police, or was this a necessary act? Suppose the paper was lost… what would his damages be in civil court? A penny?
Besides, this is not how we behave in public because it is a breach of peace. Conservatives keep saying it’s terrible that colleges don’t want their speakers there… well conservatives need to be a little tougher when they encounter things like this. They enter the heart of the liberal lion knowing it will generate some stupid protests. Pies will be thrown. Ugly things will be said. Passage will be blocked. They have to be tough and non-violent in their response if they wish to bring change. Martin Luther King Jr is a tower over American history because he didn’t get trolled into being a fool. Patience is key to millennials learning how to be effective political activists. They do not come across as the oppressed political minority on campus when they are the ones stomping their boots into others.

Of course he also paid with his life. That shouldn’t be the price, but for all his flaws, he did appear to be willing to pay it to improve our country.

Pinandpuller (e33099) — 11/29/2017 @ 2:42 amInfintely more important news out this morning from The Hill. The reporter John Solomon who has done most of the ground breaking reporting in the Uranium One scandal has now dropped a story he referred to a couple of weeks ago.
SHOCKINGLY, in the same time frame that the Uranium One deal was undergoing CIFUS review, about which Hillary was unaware and played no role in approving, the Clinton Global Initiative was receiving huge contributions in the form of in-kind services for free from a company that specialized in PR, AND which had a significant big dollar client who actually paid them named —– Rosatom. Yep, the Russian Gov’t owned nuclear energy company that was behind the Uranium One deal.
CGI, in an agreement with the State Dept when Hillary became SOS, set up a donor disclosure website, where it was supposed to post the identity of all donors and the amounts of their donations in an effort at transparency.
Except that internally CGI decided that they did not need to report in-kind or pro bono work done on its behalf by third parties because the IRS didn’t recognize that as “contributions”.
So the PR company in question, APCO Worldwide, is reported to have only made cash contributions to CGI of between $25,000 and $50,000.
But the truth is that APCO provided millions to CGI in the form of in-kind and pro bono work on its behalf as a PR firm, starting in 2008, but accelerating in 2010 and thereafter.
2010? Hmmmm — what was happening in 2010?? Oh yeah, CIFUS approved the sale in 2010, at the same time the FBI had an ongoing intelligence investigation which uncovered massive corruption and bribery by Rosatom officials in the US.
Rosatom? Oh — they paid APCO $3 million in 2010 to lobby US gov’t officials. APCO disclosed in its foreign agent registration that it met with more than 50 US gov’t officials on behalf of Rosatom’s interests — including 10 officials with the State Dept.
So the Russians pay APCO millions in actual dollars, and APCO then turns around and donates services worth millions to the Clinton Global Initiative — which supports Bill Clinton’s world wild travel and expenses, as well as employing all kinds of Clinton cronies. Sort of like the Russians just paying the Clintons through a 3rd party bagman.

Yes, she stole his notes; one wonders if the left deliberately planned using a woman to do this to see if they could entrap Mr Wintrich into something stupid, or whether it was just a spontaneous act. Security could have stopped her and recovered his papers, and if she resisted, then she’d be the one charged with a crime.
In my speech classes at the University of Kentucky, extemporaneous speaking was stressed, with impromptu — meaning: we were given a subject and three minutes to prepare — and prepared texts were simply not allowed. Perhaps people like Mr Wintrich ought to learn to do that.

On Tuesday, The Federalist’s Denise C. McAllister released an article that set the internet afire. Her premise: God might want you to vote for a bad man in order to achieve a good thing. Why? Because God has used bad men to accomplish good things before. This isn’t a new argument; it was made by pastors with regard to voting for Donald Trump in the 2016 election, and it’s being used now to justify voting for Roy Moore, despite credible allegations of sexual molestation of underage girls.
Stupid argument, Roy Moore has been a man of insufferable probity, no matter how many Craigslist ‘victims’ comde nast and Bezos have happened to drag out

The Dana standing in at 6'2 and 220 lb (ecab7a) — 11/29/2017 @ 7:27 amMany people have a simple understanding of addiction. They think it only happens to dysfunctional people from dysfunctional families, or to hopeless people living in the street. But our addicted population is spread across every segment of society. Rich and poor; white and black; male and female; old and young.
There are several gateways to opioid addiction. Some suffer a physical injury, and slowly develop a dependency on prescribed painkillers. Others self-medicate for mental ailments using whatever substance is available. Because the brain is so adaptable while it’s still developing, it’s highly susceptible to dependencies, even from non-opioids like today’s newly potent marijuana strains. We now understand that such early marijuana use not only inhibits brain development, it better prepares the brain to be receptive to opioids.

But the problem is: <b For WHAT?
The argument is made that Hillary Clinton had no power to approve it alone, and that there is no record of her issuing any instructions to anybody – no email to anybody in the State Department about this for instance. (that may not actually be true – it could be something could be found.)
kishnevi says the Clintons were on retainer (in a general sort of way) and all this money didn’t have much to do with Uranium One.
I said you could say maybe she was paid for NOT BLOCKING the approval, or for lobbying advice and inside information as to what to say and what not to say to gain approval.
Hillary Clinton also makes he argument that Putin turned against her in 2011. I think this is a lie. Putin turned against her only after the Euromaidan Revolution (or Revolution of Dignity; Ukrainian: Революція гідності, Revoliutsiia hidnosti) in Ukraine in February, 2014 because he thought Victoria Nuland was one of her loyal women and was acting on her behalf.
Sammy Finkelman (54fd00) — 11/29/2017 @ 8:31 amEvery Kansan knows what happened after Gov. Sam Brownback’s 2012 cuts did away with the state income tax for some 330,000 business owners. The governor kept insisting — and in fact, still does — that robust growth and woohoo, jobs galore would result. When that didn’t happen, elected officials kept having to dip into funds set aside for highways and schools just to balance the budget. Finally, this year, lawmakers overrode a Brownback veto and at last repealed the LLC tax break and raised income tax rates.

There are two ways in which these notes could be of more than trivial value.
1. He needed them right then, for his speech.
2. He didn’t want them posted online somewhere with mocking commentary.
This is more than just stealing flyers, and that’s not allowed either.
I don’t know. Was the crowd hostile? Could she escape with the paper, or hand it over to someone else?
That’s not a piece of paper. It’s a manuscript. That can have any value.
It probably only had a use that day, though, for the remainder of his appearance, but he also had an interest in it not being stolen and misused by his enemies.
There’s also the issue of intentional infliction of emotional distress here.
Apparently Illinois law would allow him to use anything except what is likely to cause death or great bodily harm to get his paper back.

Given the hostile environment inflicted on him, given he was significantly out numbered, given his right to speak freely was arrogantly violated, given the so-called ‘security officers’ blatently refused to protect Wintrich’s rights, given the thief was making her getaway, given Wintrich was understandably angry, Wintrich acted rightly to chase down the theving skank and recover his notes.
Wintrich would have been justified in using much greater force, however he displayed obvious masculine restraint dealing with a female sneak thief and should be recognized and commended for showing a level of tolerance in the face of organized intolerance that would never have been accorded to him.

happyfeet (a037ad) — 11/29/2017 @ 9:38 amLucian Wintrich is that guy who got into a confrontation with Fox News Radio’s Jon Decker. Decker greeted Wintrich upon his first arrival in the WH Briefing Room with a loud declaration that at Gateway Pundit “They hate blacks, Jews, Hispanics…” Naturally, Wintrich took umbrage, and they got into a physical confrontation that was intense, but not that serious. Wintrich issued a tweet claiming he was “asualted” (sic) and subsequently promised to file some sort of complaint.
Whether that ever happened, I don’t know, but I do know this: When I first heard of the incident, I went to his Twitter feed and found disgusting tweets talking about Decker’s presumed sexual orientation, topped off by a NSFW photoshopped pic. Wintrich deleted the tweet later, but not before I got a screencap.
As a black man I get weary of other black men who complain about negative stereotypes at the same time they live down to them (hello, Jesse Jackson). Literate, clear-minded conservatives (like, say, Ben Shapiro) are sullied every time jackholes like Wintrich and Milo pretend the cause is more about hating the right people instead of having logical solutions.

Couldn’t the Kansas Legislature try cutting spending? If the Governor tried to cut taxes so that people and corporations could keep more of what they create or earn, and it actually happens, why can’t the state find a way to do with less? And, of course, the first solution the KLeg tries is to borrow from Citizen Peter to pay Citizen Paul. Pass the buck down the road.
Oh, and those of us from Louisiana, liberal and conservative, know that when you apply the Duke Corollary to Godwin’s Law, you lost long before you even arrived…..
reff (6ce267) — 11/29/2017 @ 10:30 amRepublican voter support for the House GOP tax plan eroded sharply in the past week, and ticked down among all voters, according to a new POLITICO/Morning Consult tracking poll.
While Republicans still mostly back the plan, their support dropped to 59 percent from 66 percent based on what they generally know about it. GOP opposition grew to 12 percent from 9 percent, and the GOP undecided grew to 28 percent from 25 percent.
Admiral Ben burn (b3d5ab) — 11/29/2017 @ 10:31 amA NUTS response is to allow other people to steal your stuff without making a reasonable effort on your own to retrieve it. This is how (rhymes with mucked) you have become. The contact involved was consistent with the effort necessary to retrieve what was stolen. There was no beat-down. There was no unreasonable behavior here unless you have become socialized to the idea that defending oneself and ones property is wrong. The argument that the notes were just paper is pathetic. More than likely true but there is no way to know that.
So many lawyers here who can’t see this are the reason the law is losing respect. I don’t say this out of ignorance. I have currently been sucked into a legal dispute in my HOA, the genesis of which occurred 10 years ago. I didn’t live there then. It’s a long, bovine stuff story that has nothing to do with me except that I somehow, through no effort of my own, got elected president of my HOA so now I have to go to court over some petty bee ess that I had zero to do with. All because a bunch of lawyers have ginned up a petty dispute and milked it. For. Ten. Years. And you people have the nerve to find fault with this person for retrieving their real, personal property. You literally are an embarrassment to civilization.
CFarleigh (5b282a) — 11/29/2017 @ 10:52 amNow that, deserves three Pinocchios. It’s mostly false. Going from 66% to 59% is not “eroded sharply.”
Nevertheless, of course, support is declining. Just not precipitously.

I don’t agree with you on “you should never x” statements.
Now if what you are saying is that you don’t punch a gal who is shrieking in your face I generally agree but I hold my hearing rather precious. There are varying degrees of force based around perceived and real threats of bodily harm etc.
Now you used Ronda Rousy as an example and that’s exactly the woman you do want to strike with because she’s a judoka and you don’t want to end up on the ground with her. You might think you do, but you don’t.

nk (dbc370) — 11/29/2017 @ 12:08 pmOf course, had the person who swiped his notes been a man standing in at 6’6 and 245 lb, I’d guess that Mr Wintrich would have been somewhat less physical in his response.
This is yet another crappy argument, typical of the lawyerly class. If the lecturer had been 6’6″, if the lecturer had been a woman, if the person stealing the notes had been a man and the lecturer had been a woman, if if if. I suppose anyone can guess anything in a hypothetical. I guess. Mr. Wintrich has just as much right to his property if it was taken by a child. The difference being the amount of force to retrieve the notes from a child would be miniscule. And hopefully, a parent would have been present thus making the situations completely different to yet a whole other degree. The force used was in line with the amount of resistance the thief put up. She could just as easily handed those notes back and not struggled to hold on to them. She is an adult. She is responsible for her behavior and the consequences. Not that it is completely relevant, but I see no indication that this woman was harmed in any way except possibly for her feelings. She should suffer embarrassment as well but modern society reserves that for the victim. Provided they’re “far-right” enough.
