Salad-dressing thrower a student who reads a lot

The Paw Paw man who threw salad dressing over the head and shirt of the conservative political figure Pat Buchanan at Western Michigan University Thursday makes his living as a prep cook at an "upscale place" in Kalamazoo, he said.
Samuel Mesick, 24, also is a full-time student at Kalamazoo Valley Community College with no declared major, according to school records.
A 1998 graduate of Paw Paw High School, Mesick faces a misdemeanor charge for disturbing the peace when he is arraigned April 14. Western police arrested Mesick after the incident, which occurred at the end of a 45-minute speech by Buchanan. He is free on $100 bond.
Mesick said he openly carried the thick, white Caesar dressing into the WMU Bernhard center in a covered Styrofoam drinking cup. He'd planned the act several days in advance because he considered the timing of Buchanan's visit on Cesar Chavez Day "a slap in the face."
Representatives of student groups who also opposed Buchanan's views condemned Mesick's act, with one calling it "ridiculous and disrespectful."
"I do feel bad hearing about that," Mesick said of the reaction. However, his friends and his employer have been very supportive, Mesick said, as well as his father. His mother is out of town, but he said he is sure she will be supportive, too, when she comes home and finds out.
Mesick said he's unlike many people his age because he doesn't own a television and he reads a lot. His hair style -- a mohawk -- is part of that lifestyle of being different, he said.
"When you look different, it's a way to show you're not part of the mainstream," he said.
Mesick has no prior criminal record, according to Van Buren and Kalamazoo court records.
The consequences of his act Thursday "crossed his mind," beforehand, he said, and he expected to be charged with a misdemeanor. He was, however, also prepared to be charged with a felony, a more serious charge that WMU Associate Vice President Matt Kurz said Buchanan could have requested.
Mesick said he opposes Buchanan because of his immigration views that he said discriminate against Latinos and what Mesick said is Buchanan's "revisionist" position on the Holocaust.
A member of the national Socialist party, he participated in the Million Worker March in Washington, D.C., and in teach-ins about worker causes, he said.
"I don't want to do this as self-aggrandizement," Mesick said. "I want people to think about the cause, not me."
WMU's Kurz doesn't see it that way.
"It was a very diverse, very well-behaved group, by and large, who attended the event," Kurz said. "They gave Buchanan the ability to express his views," even though at least 25 percent didn't agree with his views, Kurz said. Buchanan "made his points in a way that was not inflammatory," and he did not dodge questions, Kurz said.
"So we were very disappointed. He (Mesick) disrupted what had been a very good event, to get his own few minutes in the spotlight."
Didn't you know? McDonald's IS the 'upscale restaurant' in Kalamazoo?
Whoa there.This doofus is a real nutcase and an obvious far left sycophant but lets leave the Nazi label out of it.What the article SAID is that he is a member of the national SOCIALIST party,not the National Socialist Party.Theres a big difference since one is far left and the other is a proto Nazi group of Hitler worshippers.Notice is did NOT say they were RIGHT wing but the Socialist Party has been around since Eugene Debs and that era.
In the "old" days, wouldn't A-holes like this simply get killed or at least get a good beating?
BAM!, punch in the mouth, nose or stomach. End of "protest".
He's 24 years old, a full time student with no declared major?
How much you wanna bet that taxpayers are paying his tuition?
What a freaking chicken-dung loser.

-This assclown is 24?!-
Sounds like he still lives with Mommy and Daddy, too. What gets me is "prep cook for an upscale place", which means he's at the bottom of the heap, and he probably can't pronounce the name of the restuarant. I note the dressing was in a styrofoam cup container. He probably stole the dressing from the restaurant; if there was a styrofoam cup container, you can pretty much guess the "upscale" is more like Appleby's.
Well for a guy who has lettuce for brains, Mesick (Me sick?) certainly used a means appropriate to his cognitive skills to make a dumb point.
He reads Mein Kampf, over and over again.
The Liberals justr love to ignore the similarities between themselves and the Nazis.
When Hitler lied his way into power, then consolidated it with violence (like this idiot, and the pie thrower against Ann Coulter)the Nazis then took the following steps:
No outside information could be communicated (shades of McCain-Feingold)
The Government took over all private property.(Our EPA does the same thing)
The Government began to exterminate "undesirables". (Who was on Michael Schiavo's side?)
Anybody gets on stage and goes into some kind of attack mode with salad dressing, pie, samuri sword or whathaveyou, should get something more decisive than an arrest. For my money, 240 grains of jacketed lead supplements for whatever ails them sounds about right.
I was 16 when I started college at a Jr college. My first roommate was 25. He turned 26 a month later. He had been there for 8 years. He was still there when I graduated 2 years later.
He was a drummer in the band and atttended on scholarship. He had changed his major 8 times.
Nazis are left wing also. Notice the word socialist in National Socialist, but you are right that this pinhead is a true socialiost not a Nazi.
.."upscale place" in Kalamazoo..

He's still working on his GED.
Aren't they the ones who just chop up the lettuce, onions, pepers, etc.?
He's a leftist socialist, not a Nazi...
What? He belongs to the National Socialist party. Hitler's party name? National Socialist Party. i.e. NAZI. He's a NAZI. The left has quickly become what they used to hate. NAZI's who want to control thought.
No, he doesn't. Read #30.
They're the ones the real cooks yell at.
