Mizzou professor apologizes for confronting journalists, resigns J-School appointment

Melissa Click, an assistant professor at the University of Missouri who was captured on video Monday aggressively confronting a journalism student covering a campus protest, has apologized for her actions and resigned her courtesy appointment with the Missouri School of Journalism.

"Yesterday was an historic day at MU - full of emotion and confusion," Click said in a statement released Tuesday by the university's Department of Communication. "I have reviewed and reflected upon the video of me that is circulating, and have written this statement to offer both apology and context for my actions. I have reached out to the journalists involved to offer my sincere apologies and to express regret over my actions.

"I regret the language and strategies I used, and sincerely apologize to the MU campus community, and journalists at large, for my behavior, and also for the way my actions have shifted attention away from the students' campaign for justice."

"Who wants to help me get this reporter out of here?" Click can be heard asking in a video of Monday's confrontation with a student journalist, Mark Schierbecker. "I need some muscle over here."

Closing the school and forcing everyone to euthanize themselves is the logical conclusion for these freaks.

I don’t accept her apology and doubt her sincerity. Based on watching her 10 minutes of fame she is an intellectually anorexic twit. She lacks any real life experience or she would understand how damaging this cause is to the participants. This is subversive behavior that has more in common with a real swastika than she will ever realize.

I bet she is the kind of woman who would dress her 5 year old in opposite sex clothing just to make sure they have an opportunity to express themselves. So many died to create a nation founded on ideas that are now spit on by the soft people who benefit from such sacrifice. Our founding fathers would scream revolution, but it would not be anything like their demands.

The whole Mizzou debacle is a good preview of what a world run entirely by leftists idiots would look like. What a shame for a University in a state that put Ferguson on display for the whole world to see. God help us! What’s next? Are they going to start burning the campus down because the library contains a book they don’t approve of?

okay someone explain this to me where did those kids get all those tents? I was in college a good long time, lived in the dorm and never once had a tent in my closet to grab in and on short notice and pitch on the campī court yard when ever there was a demonstration or protest.

Point is where did these tents come from? What is this an occupy movement?

They’re pro and semi-pro agitators from out of town.

Rush talked about it this morning:

There is a very intimate connection between the Ferguson agitators and Mizzou:

If the close connection became known, it would strongly undermine the public perception that anything in the Mizzou protests is legitimate. NONE of the Mizzou leadership take classes there, had friends there, knew their way around town.

The insistance on, “Get out, student journalist, from our Mizzou safe space” had the aim of preventing people (thru this photographer) from learning that the Ferguson pro agitators simply DROVE from Ferguson to nearby Mizzou to continue their “work”, almost interrupted.

Dixie Flag Truck Window Stickers
Rumors of a 2 am Poop swastika

That makes for an EXTREMELY rickety framework for kicking out a University Prez, wouldn’t you say..?

They finished trashing Ferguson, then simply drove to the nearest campus and made all this stuff up, and they were aided by credulous students and the America-hating media.

They had the tents cuz this has become the job, more or less, of a cadre who prefer this to meager jobs in retail.

None of them have dorm rooms or apartments at Mizzou.

“”I don’t accept her apology and doubt her sincerity””

I merely wanted to say I appreciated that she didn’t use the liberal’s usual excuse of “IF I OFFENDED YOU”, knowing full well she did but not using that qualification for an apology. Other than that - I still don’t like screeching, loud mouth females.

Have tent will travel, the new occupy. I figured the college kids would either live in the dorm or off campus. The tents just did not make sense to me. This whole thing is rotten, how long before we have another Kent State?

“Other than that - I still don’t like screeching, loud mouth females.”

Those fruits they called males were not much to listen to either!

You need a bigger one! Like the Louisville Slugger on display in Louisville at the Slugger Factory.
