Riley Gaines says 'literal human feces' thrown in protest of Turning Point USA at University of Washington
People protesting a Turning Point USA (TPUSA) event at the University of Washington in Seattle on Tuesday allegedly threw "literal human feces" at students checking in to hear a speech advocating against biological men competing in women's sports.
The event, titled "The Fight is Far From Over," took place Tuesday evening in the university's Ethnic Cultural Theater and was led by Riley Gaines and Olivia Krolczyk. It was a public event open to anyone with a valid photo ID.
Gaines initially wrote on X that protesters at UW were chanting "God is trans" before updating her post with, "the protestors(sic) just threw *feces* at the @TPUSA students at check in. Literal human feces."
Local media outlets reported that approximately 150 people were near the building protesting the speech. Many could be seen in social media videos waving transgender flags and holding signs – some vulgar – expressing opposition to Gaines and Krolczyk.

Other videos posted on social media by Frontlines, a media outlet powered by TPUSA, showed protesters in all black with their faces covered following event attendees to their cars, calling some "transphobes" and "scum of the earth" and suggesting that they kill themselves.
Some event attendees could be seen escorted by police as the agitators followed them for minutes while verbally harassing them.
"I hope you drop dead behind the wheel. F--- you!" one agitator yelled in the parking lot, among other similar sentiments.
ANTI-ISRAEL PROTESTERS OCCUPY UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON BUILDING, 30 ARRESTED
Krolcyzk, an ambassador for the Riley Gaines Center at the Learning Institute and a self-described "free speech advocate and defender of women's sports/spaces," attempted to speak at the university in January, but was met with heavy opposition.
The event was ultimately shut down after she said protests turned "absolutely violent."
"As soon as I arrived on campus, I was immediately met with confrontation. I had signs and flyers everywhere across campus telling me to leave, rallying people for the protest. It was insane – you couldn't walk 10 feet without seeing them," Krolczyk told OutKick's Charly Arnolt at the time.
She continued: "However, it went from 0 to 100 in five minutes. It turned absolutely violent when Antifa showed up. We ended up having about 200 protesters."

The protests on Tuesday come one day after 30 anti-Israel protesters were arrested and charged in connection with occupying an engineering building on campus for hours.
The group was demanding that UW divest from aerospace and defense manufacturer Boeing, which has a long history with the university.

Protest Is Underrated
The first thing to know is that it was all basically willed into being — not by 'paid protesters' or the Mexican government or socialists or union leaders, but by Stephen Miller, the architect of President Trump's xenophobic immigration plan and his deputy chief of staff. In a May meeting at ICE headquarters, Miller reportedly demanded that field agents forget about targeting only those undocumented immigrants with criminal records and instead stage purposefully cruel, attention-getting sweeps in places like the parking lot of a Home Depot. That is precisely where, last Friday, those raids began. The second thing to know is that the unrest was really quite limited: a roughly five-block stretch downtown, in a city of nearly four million people spread over almost 500 square miles; several driverless Waymo robot taxis, lined up on one street and set ablaze. There was some more serious violence, too: some journalists were shot with rubber bullets and other less-lethal munitions, a few cop cars were pelted with rocks, and at least one was set on fire, but no serious law-enforcement injuries were reported. But this was not 1965, with widespread arson and 34 deaths, or 1992, with disorder spreading through whole neighborhoods and more than 60 people killed. None of that means that what began last Friday in Los Angeles — a series of spectacular ICE raids, a direct-action response to block them, large-scale peaceful protests punctuated in places by bursts of familiar violence — is insignificant. To the contrary: Hundreds of migrants and protesters have been arrested over the last week, with many of the raids conducted by ICE officers in the now-familiar uniform of masked anonymity. The National Guard was mobilized over the objection of California's governor, Gavin Newsom, and without the support of the Los Angeles Police Department's leadership, with hundreds of Marines on active duty mobilized to join them in a rare deployment of military personnel to a site of domestic unrest. On Tuesday, Trump disparaged Los Angeles as a 'trash heap' in an incendiary speech that was met with horrifying applause from assembled loyalists in the Army, and on Thursday, Senator Alex Padilla was hauled out of a local news conference being held by the secretary of homeland security, Kristi Noem. When the senator was wrestled to the floor, the secretary had just declared 'we are not going away,' but would instead stay in L.A. to 'liberate the city' from 'socialists' and its democratically elected local government. The political scientists I spoke to throughout the week used phrases like 'competitive authoritarianism,' 'acute democratic backsliding' and 'autocratic power grab.' Want all of The Times? Subscribe.
