Suspended for Conservative and 2A Support?

One to watch.  Mods please move to political topics if deemed too political and not 2A advocacy enough.  Thank you.

Brandon Masin is a 25-year-old student at the University of North Texas at Dallas College of Law. He is the founder of the law school’s chapter of The Federalist Society, the only conservative student organization on campus.

On the evening of November 20th, 2018, while at an outing hosted by one of his professors for the holiday, Brandon received an email from the university stating that due to an alleged and unspecified threat he was immediately suspended and would have to meet with the school’s CARE team. He emailed several times asking procedural questions about the investigation as it was unfolding out of compliance with the university’s own policies and Due Process. He never received a response, only a date and time to meet with the team.

At the meeting the CARE team turned out to be the University’s Counselor and Chief of Police, he was vaguely questioned about the unspecified allegations, and after sticking by his denials, he was then questioned about his mental health. If he had any anger issues if he had a firearm, how many, why he felt the need to own firearms? If he was licensed to carry them, if he carried at the school, whether he felt unsafe at the school and if he ever open carried.

After this line of questioning the CARE Team departed and the school’s investigator and an assistant came in. They also vaguely questioned him about the unspecified allegation but were at least more specific by letting him know that the allegation was supposedly an off-campus threat against the university and a professor that had happened “later in the day.”

He denied making the threats and showed messages and GPS data showing he was elsewhere. Additionally, he had several students email the investigator validating not only his whereabouts but his character. When he asked the investigator about all of the procedural problems and the impossibility they presented him of raising a defense against an unspecified and anonymous allegation, the investigator informed him that she would investigate and follow up on everything.

He was the emailed later that day informing him that the CARE team considered him a threat while citing no actual reasons for this finding. The following day she issued her decision finding him responsible, citing no evidence for her decision other than not believing his denial and citing the fact that an anonymous accusation was made. She mentioned absolutely no other sources of information and did not mention the discrepancy in the time frame or the several witness accounts that were sent to her.

I hope he passes the bar right there in Denton and sues the pants of that school.

There are multiple sides, and right now, there is little information.  But if what is presented is true, he deserves full actual and punitive damages. Debilitating punitive damages. This kind of (as yet still just presumed) demonization of political opponents must stop before things get completely out of hand.

These things have been out of hand for two decades now.

I can't find anything about this anywhere but that site.  Don't know if I am able to believe this particularly coming from Texas.

All the links that pop up go to https://www.ammoland.com/2018/12/university-of-north-texas-susspeds/ .


It is unsurprising that the 2A press would lead on a story such as this.  Hopefully they did their homework.  It is early and there are sure to be more details that come forth.

That's why I said, one to watch, despite exactly that being the way that news that runs counter-narrative propagates. One outlet is first, others pick it up, then it becomes national news.  Give it time.  Facts should come out.
