STU SMITH: 🚨🚨🚨 Why is @CalStateLA professor Melina Abdullah identifying a specific ICE agent, telling a crowd where he may be staying, giving the street address, and repeatedly saying to “fuck him up”?

🚨🚨🚨 Why is professor Melina Abdullah identifying a specific ICE agent, telling a crowd where he may be staying, giving the street address, and repeatedly saying to “fuck him up”? “Brian Palacios may be staying at the Hilton Garden Inn at 2000 Solar Drive… fuck him up.” She later urges the crowd to read Blood in My Eye, George Jackson, 1972, and “study guerrilla warfare.” [I attribute his death to the Black Panthers, the way they incited young men to kill police.] Abdullah later tried to broaden the meaning of “fuck him up,” saying it can include exposing agents or making them uncomfortable. But that qualification comes only after she names a specific person, gives a possible location and street address, and repeatedly tells the crowd to “fuck him up.” You can argue about the legal threshold. It is much harder to argue that this sequence would not reasonably be understood as putting a specific person in danger.

And yes, this all happened at yesterday’s PSL-affiliated La Defensa del Pueblo summit.
