PennState Professor, Roger Shouse calls for execution of NYT reporters

[hexola]

While FreeRepublic is down - they are using a Facebook group - nice because you can see their real names.

https://www.facebook.com/groups/26012226159

But I think some have forgotten they no longer have the cloak of anonymity.

Yesterday one fellow made the remark "Snipers Wanted" - with the clear implication: execution of NYT reporters.

This was in response to this story posted on the Freeper FB page

https://www.nytimes.com/2017/05/16/us/politics/james-comey-trump-flynn-russia-investigation.html

I figured with all the great press PennState has gotten lately - they might like a little more!

[Javaman]

1. they really aren't the brightest bunch of terrorists, are they? nt

[BobTheSubgenius]

26. The fact that he's allegedly a professor doesn't change this, either.

I once saw a video of a Harvard professor signing a petition to end the polar bear hunt in Toronto. Ben Carson Syndrome, perhaps.

[Xipe Totec]

59. Not the sharpest crayon in the box. nt

[C Moon]

63. :D

[Zoonart]

2. This man should be arrested.

This is a terroristic threat.

[gratuitous]

7. From Penn State to State Pen?

I routinely call these guys the nitwit brigade; appears I was being a bit generous on my estimate of their intelligence.

[dalton99a]

11. +1

[Hortensis]

76. Lol. Overgenerous seems proven.

If this guy's who he's thought to be, he's shot himself square in the career.

[roamer65]

3. Time to get him fired.

[enough]

4. Professor of what? NT

[BumRushDaShow]

6. Education

https://ed.psu.edu/directory/rcs8

[Bernardo de La Paz]

46. Soon to be teacher of remedial English at Penn State prison. . . . nt

[FSogol]

69. Book Learn'n and figurin'n

[Cha]

5. Message deleted by DU the Administrators

[GaYellowDawg]

14. Oh, it's worse than that.

As education faculty, he would be in the position to teach prospective teachers.

[hexola]

8. Here's his page on PSU website - complete with email address

https://ed.psu.edu/directory/rcs8

Roger Shouse began his career in 1976 as a public school teacher (math and social studies) in Detroit. He earned his Ph.D. at the University of Chicago in 1994 and has served at Penn State since then. Spanning over 20 years, his teaching and research address organization theory, school culture, leadership theory, and more recently focus on East Asian education and school reform, critical approaches to leadership and creativity, and the analysis of cinema and other discursive works as forms of educational leadership. His current research explores how Chinese filmmakers problematize the meaning of "educational leadership" (jiaoyu lingdao). He has twice served as a visiting professor in China; at National Pingtung University of Education in Taiwan and at Sichuan University in Chengdu. Dr. Shouse serves as a Senior Associate Editor of the American Journal of Education

10. So much for Penn State vetting who they hire.

[justiceischeap]

9. Just tweeted it

Link to tweet

[GoneOffShore]

12. And retweeted.

Thank you.

I'm useless at Twitter.

[justiceischeap]

13. Me too. I just hoped that using @PennState has some sort of impact. nt

[GaYellowDawg]

15. Well, he's tenured.

So his department chair or dean will probably fuss at him, but that's about all that will happen.

[justiceischeap]

16. Hmm, maybe I should retweet to local news stations. nt

[BannonsLiver]

17. Tenure isn't a lifetime pass

Universities can and do find reasons to terminate. Ask Ward Churchill.

[spooky3]

20. Yes. Faculty contracts spell out bases for termination.

Tenure just protects you from arbitrary firing or firing based on your teaching/researching within your expertise something the administration doesn't like.

[GaYellowDawg]

30. Yes, they do.

However, unless HR really wants to sink their teeth into it, nothing will happen. Especially if this guy's bringing in a good amount of grant funding; they'll tell him not to post stupid shit on Facebook and then that'll be it.

[spooky3]

19. Being fired may be the least of his worries. Wouldn't

he be at risk of arrest and conviction for threatening the reporters?

[Tarc]

27. His own twitter is @rogercshouse

https://twitter.com/rogercshouse

Has not tweeted for a few years, though.

[justiceischeap]

31. Thanks! nt

[MountCleaners]

49. He's on Twitter, too

Wonder if he'll post his threats there.

[gopiscrap]

53. this guy needs to go

Penn State of all places doesn't need anymore negative attention

[irisblue]

79. Tweeted

[IronLionZion]

18. And we can't call them terrorists because?

Because they are advocating for mass murder of US citizens?
Because they have been radicalized online?
Because they are doing this in pursuit of a political agenda?

How are these freepers any different from ISIS?

[Amaryllis]

21. They are straight white men. ISIS isn't.

[IronLionZion]

24. Yup, and that facebook page had more women than I expected

I suppose those are the types who would elect the misogynist in chief.

[Amaryllis]

29. Stand by your man.

But if you love him you'll forgive him,
Even though he's hard to understand
And if you love him oh be proud of him,
'Cause after all he's just a man
Stand by your man,

[TheBlackAdder]

22. PSU: Pedophilia Cover-up, Hazing Death, this Clown. Damn it guys, get your fucking house in order!

[LiberalFighter]

23. Has anyone sent this to the Penn State administration?

[justiceischeap]

25. I'd do so if I knew how. I retweeted to the local news stations

and to @PennState & @nytimes.

[LiberalFighter]

39. I sent to their president.

[justiceischeap]

40. Thank you! nt

[hexola]

28. Looks like we got SOMEONES attention! - Sniper remark gone!

Nice job DU!

The other terroristic threats remain though...

"Seriously time to "nuke" the post and times...Or a few patriots willing to lob one into their offices"

Lets hope the good professor is job hunting this morning!

[justiceischeap]

32. Wow! That was kinda fast.

Fortunately there are screenshots.

[L. Coyote]

34. Employment standing is next.

It is important to document this stuff and make them pay the price. No doubt, someone complained to Facebook and Fb took it down. These things need to be screen captured on Fb or they really do disappear.

[PsychoBabble]

33. Maybe he can team up w Turkish security guards

Looks like, from video yesterday, they got the will to get 'er done ... here ... in USA:

[turbinetree]

35. The administrator of Penn State to ask if they thinks this is appropriate

36. Republican terrorist detector

[ProfessorGAC]

73. I Would Be An "erm" In Winter. . .

. . .and a terrorist from late May to mid-October.

Who knew?

[Tarc]

37. I sent it to the Penn St. student newspaper as well as a trustee

@dailycollegian and @jaypaterno, respectively.

[justiceischeap]

38. Great, thanks! nt

[Corgigal]

41. I'm sure it's not the 1st rodeo

for the NYT. However, maybe they should be notified.

[justiceischeap]

42. I included them in my Tweet

not sure if that's notification enough but someone reported the "sniper" comment has been deleted since I tweeted this.

[hexola]

43. Feel free to save - or link to my screenshot with the original remarks

Have at it!

And thanks to everyone who is helping out on this one!

[justiceischeap]

50. I grabbed my own screenshots so I could

edit out the other names in the thread.

[Orrex]

44. I wonder how S(hit)house would respond...

if one of his students were found to be making similar statements about how to treat professors.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

45. Worse. Roger Shouse wants SNIPER to ASSASSINATE Comey / wants someone else cause Shouse coward. nt

[malaise]

47. Has he been fired yet? n/t

[First Speaker]

48. Not "execution"--he's calling for their murder...

...execution is a legal process. What he's suggesting is simply vigilantism.

[bagelsforbreakfast]

51. Hmm...Penn State - what are they known for lately? refresh our memories... n/m

[Grins]

52. But...but...conservative teachers are discriminated by those damn liburals!

But...but...conservative teachers are discriminated by those damn liburals!

[asiliveandbreathe]

54. From an earlier post here at DU - Roger Shouse...hello - FBI here -

FBI agents arrested an Arizona man last week for threatening to shoot Rep. Martha McSally, a Republican who represents the same Arizona district Gabrielle Giffords represented when she was shot in the head in 2011.

Steve Martan, 58, left three separate expletive-laden messages on McSally's congressional office voicemail in early May, according to a criminal complaint filed Friday in a U.S. District Court in Tuscon. In the first, he talked about wringing the congresswoman's neck.

"Martha, our sights are set on you," he said in the second message. "Right between your f------ eyes."

In the third: "Yeah Martha, your days are numbered."

57. Wow

Good job DU

[hexola]

58. Yep - Fist bumps all around!

Nice job gang!

[Ilsa]

56. I think the fbi should be called. This is a conspiracy

to motivate multiple deaths. He's a serial killer, but too chicken to do it himself.

[sfwriter]

60. He is a regular commenter at The Collegian.

Here is a reply denying the existence of the Alt Right:

"Alt Right" is simply another meme designed by those who seek to smash all conservative thought. It's a tool used by radical progressives to marginalize their opponents. I have much more concern about the "Ctrl Left".

Here he is defending the Chinese Chinese Ministry of Public Education's Confucius Institute which was closed by Penn State after repeatedly rejecting research in politics, science, and the environment. He has taken their money to teach in China. I wonder if his Freeper brothers know he defends Chinese government interests?

"""
Roger Shouse · Professor at Penn State
Once again, Penn State does a totally stupid and shortsighted thing. I guess it's like they wanted to get on the "let's drop the CI" bandwagon. The bottom line is that PSU balked when they discovered that CI wasn't going to be the academic gravy train they thought it was going to be.

I'm sure there is more out there...

[Oneironaut]

61. I just looked at that FB page. These people are legitimately crazy.

They want violence and have a creepy obsession with guns. Half of them look like serial killers.

[Iggo]

64. They ain't collecting all them guns so they can NOT shoot people.

[WinkyDink]

65. I can't find this professor's posts on the page linked.

[hexola]

67. the "snipers" remark was removed or deleted at some point this morning

The others - "nuke" and "lob one in" remain

[NCTraveler]

66. WTF. These people are children.

"Seldom Seen Jr. I think you're full of crap. I bet your mom has photos that prove it." Roger Shouse

http://www.collegian.psu.edu/news/campus/article_2fc998ea-f4ab-11e6-8949-430651d741cd.html

He is also a DeVos fan.

"I'm one of Senator Toomey's constituents and I support his vote to approve Betsy DeVos." Roger Shouse

http://www.collegian.psu.edu/opinion/letters_to_editor/article_978df4ce-e760-11e6-b43c-5b5dc34c5341.html

And WTF is a "radical Progressive"?

"It's a tool used by radical progressives to marginalize their opponents." Roger Shouse

[NCTraveler]

68. Kick. nt.

[Different Drummer]

70. Shouse is/was a professor of education at PSU.

Some of his former students seem to think quite highly of him, according to the link.

[FiveGoodMen]

75. And what does that tell you, given the OP's subject?

[NCTraveler]

71. Another kick. Good morning. nt.

[JustAnotherGen]

72. Report his posts on FB

To FB. If enough of us do it - maybe he'll stop making threats of violence.

[Tarc]

74. Prof. Shouse, still insinuating violence this morning

Penn St. needs to be a little quicker on the ball here, as the insinuation behind "I believe it's going to take more than votes to win our country back" is rather clear.

78. I have noticed on social media that alot of born again nuts

attend Penn State.

Between the sex abuse of Sandusky, Paterno letting the players grades slip, the hazing death, and this, I would strongly
advise against sending one's children to Penn State.

Did I mention that their wrestling team are a bunch of right wing neo-christo-fascists?
