At Sacramento State, a discussion on politics escalated into a violent incident, with one student attacking another — all of it captured on cellphone video.
The university responded quickly to the incident, which began with a verbal fight over comments someone posted on Facebook. Then, the war of words escalated into something physical.
“I was coming out of the class through those doors right here,” Floyd Johnson explained to KCRA 3. Johnson, a senior and political science major at Sacramento State, said he was assaulted by another student after class Friday.
“What have I done?” Johnson asks the student in the video.
“You’re harassing me,” the student proclaims on the video, before slapping at Johnson.
“Whoa, that is not OK,” Johnson says in response. “That is not OK. You cannot do that, that is battery, that is assault.”
Johnson, a member of the Sacramento State College Republicans, said the dispute was over the issue of abortion. In the video, the aggressor appears to make a direct threat against Johnson.
“You’re going to end up f—— dead,” the student states on camera.
Someone on campus quickly intervenes and tries to get everyone to calm down.
“Take a deep breath,” the mediator says. “You have every right to report.”
Johnson did file a report with the university police against the other student, identified as Keaton Hill. Hill told KCRA 3 he is also a senior and a political science major at Sacramento State.
An email from the university says Hill has been directed by the school not to contact Johnson in any way.
University President Robert Nelsen sent out a campuswide email in response to the incident.
“In today’s increasingly tense political climate, we must care for each other and treat one another with respect, despite our differences,” Nelsen said in the email.

obviously not ok regardless of a persons opinion
Don’t you see that this kind of intolerance is overwhelmingly from the left? Care to make that leap?
The comments would be so different if the incident had been the other way around. See what happened to youth, Nick Sandmann with the adult Indian.
This is another indication that today’s young adults are too psychologically fragile.
I fear for the future if [or when] society becomes flooded with them? This could be s public health menace.
Young people need to learn their manners and their morals, from an early age! And great, big religious leaders should be leading our society, preaching and demanding obedience to our sacred, Judeo-Christian, Biblically-based morality, for all, nationally! Young, devoted Christian students should not be struggling to do the jobs of our great, big, moral and religious leaders– and receiving unjust persecution!
Long ago, before the filthy, violent 1960s– colleges were places of serious study, and they all upheld Christian Morality– it was well-established, Nationwide! Students were required good manners and good morals, and there were required dorm sign-ins and outs, limited visiting hours, especially for the opposite sex, dorm curfews, bedtime lights-out and bed-checks, campus-wide dress codes, etc. A student could be expelled for bad behaviors, such as violating dress codes, breaking curfews, disorderly, aggressive behaviors, having sex, drunkenness, profanity and obscene language, etc. We had a much better America, at that time!
In speaking of the 1960s, the only part of that decade that I am referring to as extremely objectionable– is the late 1960s, when our Nation was torn to pieces and almost destroyed! Before that, we had a good society! Very fortunate to live in such a great country as America!
Gov. “Pat” Brown, Gov.Jerry Brown’s father, was a very NORMAL Democrat, with good, progressive, practical ideas, which he implemented, for the betterment of the State of CA. He also was a good Catholic man, with solid Catholic beliefs and morality! And his hopelessly irresponsible, immoral son, Jerry– with no religious beliefs — and no moral conscience??? A total loss to California, to our Nation, to our Church, and to Western Civilization!
This inicident exposes what happens when the evil of the Left is confronted… they are satanic
President Nielsen’s response was very weak and this is one of the causes of division in the universities. Having exchanges of ideas in the university settings in respectful debate is the purpose of education and should be constantly emphasized.
This aggressive student should have been EXPELLED!!
I pray they see how one-sided they are. We need to boldly be Catholic, before we lose our voices completely. Freedom of speech is already eroded in the public square, and our rights to live our faith are quickly following. For heaven sake we can hardly even use the precious name of Jesus anymore. But filthy language is everywhere. Wake up fellow Catholics. Fight for all our liberties.
Greta Thunberg’s brother? “How dare you!”
the “tolerance” of liberals
knows no bounds
