A University of Illinois graduate instructor was arrested for assaulting two students during an anti-Trump protest Thursday, stealing the phone of one student and throwing it on the sidewalk.
Tariq Khan is a PhD candidate at the university and has taught courses such as Constructing Race in America and U.S. Gender History since 1877. He is also involved with various anarchist and communist organizations including Black Rose Anarchist Federation and Antifa, in addition to working with the undergraduate socialist students.
The event Thursday began as a demonstration to air grievances about President Trump one year after his election. Khan spoke to students, urging them to resist the presidents agenda and fight fascism, but when his speech targeted Turning Point USA members on campus, conservative students who were present took notice.
Joel Valdez, executive board member and campus activism coordinator for TPUSA, asked, Dont you have anything better to do? Dont you have kids? Khan immediately charged from the Alma Mater statue and accused Valdez of threatening his children.
In video of the altercation obtained by Campus Reform Khan is seen intimidating and confronting two students: throwing a punch at one and stealing and destroying Valdezs cell phone.
The incident has been reported to University of Illinois police, and Khan was placed under arrest and issued a notice to appear to appear in court for criminal damage to property, with police valuing the cell phone at $700.
This violent altercation comes three weeks after Khan aided the campus student government in shutting down the universitys homecoming parade for including a float celebrating the schools former mascot Chief Illiniwek.

The charges should be upgraded. Here in Illinois theft above $500 is a Felony.

He’s not an American. He’s not of our people, our Constitution, and our culture. They have to go back.
The more I see of the left, the more I support President Trump.
This is no different than a KKK member assaulting black students.
But the Democrats never had a problem with that, so I guess they have no problem with this.
He sounds like a nice, well-adjusted young man. Im sure well be hearing more good news about him one day. /s
Which -stan is this mozlim from? There are so many popups at the site it’s hard to read.
Send him back. He’s a 39 year old violent, professional student troublemaker.
Why in the h_ll are there university courses like Constructing Race in America and U.S. Gender History since 1877”? This is just faddish BS.
When Tariq Khan’s violent attack threatening the lives of innocent students should have been forcefully stopped as quickly as possible, even if it meant that Tariq would be seriously injured or killed.
“Hes not an American. Hes not of our people, our Constitution, and our culture. They have to go back.”
Now!
From the article:
“taught courses such as Constructing Race in America and U.S. Gender History since 1877. “
??????????
What happened to courses like, Ethics, Logic, Rhetoric, Western Civilization, Literature, Survey of World Art, Music Theory, Composition, Psychology, Sociology, Political Science, and other staples of a classical liberal arts education?
Courses like this idiot teaches are like “Fly Fishing in the Andes.”
“...Tariq Khan is a PhD candidate at the university and has taught courses such as Constructing Race in America and U.S. Gender History since 1877....”
What in hell would a “Tariq Khan” know about “U.S. Gender History since 1877”???
Whatever it is, it needs it’s visa revoked and deported asap.
These professors today are morons. Is it no wonder students end up coming out of college stupider than when they went in? Liberal indoctrination center are all they are....and usually on our dime.
I’d seriously appreciate some pointers on how to talk to an out-of-control radical who keeps shouting, “Are you threatening my kids??????”
I’d like to say something innocent and infuriating. Ideally, I like to say something normal, which would make him swing at me. I can take it from there, but I don’t know how to provoke on camera without actually using fighting words.
I just noticed the similarity in spelling between “anarchist” and “antichrist”.
Fire this angry, dangerous, and violent man!!
Johnny Rotten sure did....
I am an anti-Christ
I am an anarchist
Don't know what I want
But I know how to get it
I want to destroy the passerby
'Cause I want to be anarchy
They are brainwashing sessions.
When you grab something out of someone’s hand and walk away with it, it is a “Strong Armed” robbery. It consists of the elements of assault, battery and robbery. When he threw the phone down and broke it it satisfied the element of an intent to permanently deprive.
This was a serious felony. He should be facing serious jail or prison time.
