In an official statement, Kent State said that Bennett had failed to obtain sponsorship from a registered student organization or faculty department, as mandated by the university. A counterprotest was likewise ordered to cease and desist.
“Kent State upholds the right to free speech and values respectful dialogue from all points of view,” the statement read. “Consistent with our core values, we encourage open dialogue, freedom of expression and respectful discourse in an inclusive environment.”
Bennett herself, who has become a minor celebrity among 2nd Amendment enthusiasts (and now has nearly 100,000 Twitter followers), didn’t take kindly to Kent’s decision. She Tweeted that she will show up regardless and that Kent will not suppress the legal expression of her 2nd Amendment rights. She has stated that Kent’s efforts to make her follow protocol are “so they can make us pay thousands for security and control who speaks.”
In a video posted to Twitter last night, Bennett confronts some university officials in the hopes of setting up a meeting. She accuses an office administrator of being rude, unprofessional and biased after she said she “think[s] it’s strange” that Bennett is “hanging around so much” after her graduation in the spring.

Cool, we get it, you have guns…now go get a job.
In light of what happened there, this child needs a good swift kick in the butt, for disrespecting holy ground if nothing else. To some people in this state, what she’s doing is like peeing on those markers in the parking lot. My wife was not an eyewitness to the shootings, but she was there that day. Still won’t talk about it.
You both are why this country is going to hell. This woman is trying to demonstrate her freedom of speech. I bet you Kent would have no problem if they wanted to hold a KKK rally or a BLM rally. She’s not being violent and there is no violence in her message. Yes, some shootings happened at Kent and the National Guard killed four people but guess what? That has ZERO to do with her message. You can’t stifle freedom of speech because some other event happened at the same place almost 50 fricken years ago.
Downtown Cleveland would be perfect.
Some shootings happened at Kent? That’s like saying Some planes hit some buildings in Manhattan.
“The National Guard killed four people but guess what? That has ZERO to do with her message. ” Wrong…that’s exactly why she’s haunting the campus, and not some other venue.. Not because it’s her alma mater. If you really think she’s dong this on her own and not being paid to be a pawn in someone else’s game, I have a bridge to Rondeau that you might want to take a look at.
And it’s not about “fredom of speech.” You aren’t “free” to yell fire in a crowded place just for kicks, because it might cause a stampede that will kill a lot of folks. That isn’t”stifling” freedom of speech…it’s common sense.Why doesn’t she go to the Akron campus or Cleveland State? She’s at Kent only BECAUSE because “some other event” happened at the same place…and how long ago it was is irrelevent.
So are you, because it’s obvious you weren’t even alive almost 50 years ago. That’s pretty obvious, especially when you say “Get over it.” Go tell that to a Jew whose family became lampshades and chimney smoke. And go do your homework and read about May Fourth, because you need some wising up.
I can’t find a voter registration record for Kaitlin or her facebook boyfriend. She is a big mouth with no ability to vote who got a biology degree to sell limited interest T-shirts. Her behavior is the employment equivalent of a face tattoo. Info-Wars devotees don’t hire scientists but instead visit creation science museums.
In one of her Instagram selfies she is giving the illuminati 666 hand sign…
Always with the illuminati bullshit. Enough already. Go get a job with the electric company.
It’s amazing that there are still good Americans like Kait left. It restores my faith in humanity… alas, only temporarily.
Kaitlin is using Kent State to satisfy her ultra narcissistic obsession. In a addition she is using Kent State and gun advocates to bring Nazis and haters to Kent to spread their message of racism and violence.
She has invited infamous racist and neo Nazi AND criminal Joey Gibson from hate group Patriot Prayer to speak and has invited a person from wacko conspiracy group InfoWars to speak. She is one messed up person in need of intervention
Just what Kent needs…thousands of counter-protesters to shout down the Nazi scum and probably cause another riot and put KSU on the national newsfeed–for all the wrong reasons.
You don’t think the networks will eat this up? Especially if there’s violence and the need for heavy law enforcement presence to keep the two groups apart? Then you aren’t very bright. The two most famous schools in the country, when it comes to historic confrontations, number exactly TWO…UC Berkeley and Kent State University.
it took KSU forty years to come to terms with May Fourth…and now this bitch and her friends are going to destroy all that on one violent Saturday. She has a hate on for her alma mater and wants to see it besmirched and disgraced and to see blood flow . She has an agenda and a sick need for attention. Intervention, hell! She is planning on inciting a riot! There are laws against that sort of thing. LOCK HER UP!
She will do anything for attention – that’s what this is about.
If they wanted to have a pro abortion rally (baby killers) no one would think twice about it. Come on liberals you cant have it both ways..
You would probably obsess about it for days and picket the rally and scream obscenities at the pro-choice gathering, (I’m using the correct term, rather than “pro-abortion”) and call these so-called “liberals” murderers and baby-killers. That’s what you and your crowd like to do with your Saturdays.
And you like to complain and groan if someone disagrees with your liberal views which are against all the rights of the American people such as the second amendment. I suppose you like open boarders so murders can enter the country, more taxes, more regulations so businesses can suffer, more unemployment, more interrupting cabinet members while they are having dinner – totally ridiculous! Liberals act like a bunch of spoiled rotten kids if they don’t get their way – no dialog just crying. I am thinking about buying stock in Kleenex since there is so much crying going on. Sounds like a solid investment.
I do like to know what my neighbors are thinking about, especially since I live in a boarding house. So, yes, you’re correct, I’m totally for open boarders.
And if you buy some Kleenex stock, buy some tissues, too. Wad them up in a ball, stick them in your pie hole, and choke on them. If you don’t feel like gagging, have some jeeze with your whine.
Typical liberal that likes to attack people. Just shows the low intelligence level. And i am glad you like open boarders. Having open boarders is the same thing as not locking the door to the boarding house you live in. I think you should leave you locks open so one of the illegals can come pay you a visit day or night. I bet they would be very pleasant and bring you gifts. You have zero common sense.
And you have zero sense of humor…thanks for sharing.
Well…today is the Big Day…it all begins at 2 PM…and WOIO (Channel 19 in Cleveland is going to cover the event LIVE. KSU is also deploying extra security throughout the campus. So somebody must be expecting something ugly to happen…otherwise, why the unblinking eye of the cameras…and The Man?
If we didn’t have to attend a funeral service, just down the road from Kent, my wife and I would probably be there in person, to let this bimbo know what we think of her “patriot games.”. We just hope it doesn’t bring about any additional funerals.,
She said it didn’t turn out the way she wanted it. Bullshit. She got what she wanted, chaos and a near-riot. It’s all there on the Channel 19 video.
And that douche-bag in the armor and chain mail, with the helmet and the shield, was right there in the thick of it. Trouble follows him everywhere.
She wanted this mess,and invited her trouble-making friends to the party. Who is going to be paying for all the hundreds of cops from all over Ohio, who kept this from being a bloodbath? Why didn’t the town and the university get a court order and prevent this fiasco? They’d have done it if lefties tried to provoke a confrontation. So what we got was more hate, more drama queens preening, and more shame for Ohio.
The Antifa Black Bloc terrorists were crushed at this event. Their members were unmasked, ridiculed, arrested, hospitalized, and brutally checked.
How many arrests and how many injuries…on either side? I call bullshit. Put up or shut up.
How could we know she won’t start shooting people.
May be she is insane and wants to kill him.
I wouldn’t appoint with someone carrying a machine gun.
You 2nd A. people are free to carry what you want and we are free to keep you away from ourselves.
Just stay away from us. Keep your guns away.
