A Towson University student wants to have unarmed students patrol the campus on foot due to an increase in crime. He sounds like he means well, but the whole thing is totally racist.
The planned patrols are the brainchild of senior Matthew Heimbach, who also happens to head a group called the White Student Union.
Heimbach has written on his blog that Towson is experiencing a “black crime wave” with “black predators” preying on the “white majority student body.”
He told News4:
“Just like I wouldn’t be offended if — when you talk about serial killers, the average serial killer is a blue-collar, educated white male. It doesn’t offend me to be able to talk about the facts.”
Heimbach’s group is not university-sanctioned, but it has attracted the attention of the Southern Poverty Law Center, which lists the White Student Union on a so-called “hate map” of white supremacist groups.
Heimbach hopes to begin the patrols early next week.
