A recording of an incident that reportedly took place on 2017-10-15 at California University Santa Cruz
"Yesterday, many of you questioned my ability to objectively edit and release videos of the protest at UCSC College Republicans. Such concerns are valid. As you will see, I became intimately involved in the story itself. I also became emotionally involved. In light of this, I spoke to a number of people, mostly outside of the school, about how to handle this situation.
I have come to the decision that the only ethical way to handle this is to release the footage in it's original raw and unedited form. Here are the following reasons that led me to this decision:
1) Several members of College Republicans have already been contacted by the media, requesting the footage. Although the group members have shown unbelievable restraint thus far, it is only a matter of time, before this inevitably gets leaked. My biggest concern is that the first place people will see these videos is on a hyperpartisan platform (whether it be far left or far right). If the videos are released on such a platform, they will undoubtedly be edited or doctored.
2) I am releasing this clip in particular because of its length and clarity. In this video, you can hear both sides clearly articulate their grievances. I have a lot more sensational footage of the protestors being arrested and yelling at police. I don't feel comfortable releasing that at this time. Although the protestors called me a litany of hurtful names and acted belligerently, I realize they are very young, and may not understand the full ramifications of their actions. I also don't wish ill upon them. I would much rather come to a mutual understanding with these people, rather than spread videos of them interacting with police, or being led away in handcuffs.
3) As you will see in the video, one of the protesters told me that my "existence is a disturbance." This is the exact rationale that the NAZIs used to murder members of my family. Basically, a Jew's existence is such a "disturbance" to the lives of other people, that any action of extermination is justified for the good of society. Many fascist groups frame their political enemies in this light, before taking violent action against them. The protesters who interrupted our meeting made it clear that they see everybody in that room (regardless of their viewpoints or ideologies) as defective people, who have no right to an opinion, or to assemble. I think it is important for the students on campus to see what fascism actually looks like."
