Fox News: A Rhode Island professor with a history of incendiary comments against conservatives is under fire this week for appearing to suggest that the fatal shooting of a Patriot Prayer supporter during unrest in Portland last month was morally justified. The comment from Erik Loomis, a history professor at the University of Rhode Island, came in response to a comment on his blog post: “Why Was Michael Reinoehl Killed?” The post questioned whether police deliberately “murdered” 48-year-old Michael Reinoehl, the man who fatally shot Aaron “Jay” Danielson on Aug. 29, the night Trump supporters clashed with backers of Black Lives Matter in Portland.
“I am extremely anti-conspiracy theory. But it’s not a conspiracy theory at this point in time to wonder if the cops simply murdered him,” Loomis wrote. “The police is shot through with fascists from stem to stern. They were openly working with the fascists in Portland, as they were in Kenosha which led to dead protestors.”
By “fascists,” Loomis is ostensibly referring to Trump supporters and members of Patriot Prayer, a group founded by conservative activist and former Washington Senate candidate Joey Gibson. The group has been portrayed by the mainstream media and the Southern Poverty Law Center as a far-right hate group, though Gibson has denied this characterization. Last week, law enforcement officers investigating Danielson’s death fatally shot Reinoehl after locating him in Lacey, Wash. Earlier that day, Portland police had obtained a second-degree murder warrant for Reinoehl in connection with Daniel’s death.
“Michael Reinoehl is the guy who killed the fascist in Portland last week,” Loomis wrote on his Sept. 4 blog post. “He admitted it and said he was scared the cops would kill him. Well, now the cops have killed him.”
In the comments section, a reader appeared to challenge Loomis’ defense of Reinoehl, writing: “Erik, he shot and killed a guy.”
Loomis responded: “[Reinoehl] killed a fascist. I see nothing wrong with it, at least from a moral perspective.”
He then compared Reinoehl to John Brown, the radical abolitionists who in the mid-19th century advocated for more violent tactics to eradicate slavery in the United States. After receiving some online scrutiny, Loomis followed up with another blog post on Wednesday in which he insisted he wouldn’t be intimidated by so-called “fascists” trying to “cancel him.”
If you send your kid to URI you’re paying him a six figure salary to brainwash your kids into believing that murderers are good people, so long as they kill Trump supporters. Literally condoning cold blooded murder of a man who was stalked and targeted over his conservative political beliefs, and this fuck whistle who has never left the isolated world of academia is comparing him to an abolitionist who tried freeing slaves.
The fact that any history professor could be that ignorant of history should be disqualifying in and of itself. But in any other job if you posted something insane like that you’d be canned. The Rhode Island Board of Trustees is saying it’s free speech though because he said it on his own time.
They discussed it at the 1:32:15 mark of this video.
“Mr. Loomis’ opinions are his own and do not reflect the cornerstone values of the University of Rhode Island.”
Newsflash – when you’re an employee of a company what you say on your own time on social media ALWAYS represents your employer. Welcome to grownup world 101 on the on the Interwebz.
But the thing about that is that URI doesn’t actually give a shit about free speech. If this guy called people the n word online or said, “all lives matter” he’d be fired yesterday. The fact of the matter is that controversial speech is protected, as long as radical left wing speech that advocates for violence.
Meanwhile URI canned a woman named Claire Marcille Gadrow for posting “offensive” things about BLM after an anonymous cunt on Twitter posted screenshots. Ya know, like pointing out that BLM frequently is the cause of violent riots, George Floyd should not be glorified, and police lives matter.
It should be noted too that her husband is a cop, but because some douchebag found a thin blue line flag offensive Claire was fired from her position on the URI Foundation, which does endowments and grants. Her sister recently donated $1 million to the school. This is how they repay her.
At this point you’re almost an idiot if you send your kid to college. On top of being a horrible return on investment, they also employ people who will teach your kids that it’s OK to murder people you don’t like, while firing people who point out facts that make certain people uncomfortable.

This guy resembles a thumb with glasses.
Take a look at his rating on ratemyprofessors.com. Even his students think he’s an assclown loser. Way to go URI. I guess you asked how you could make your shitty reputation even worse
fucking faggot with mommy issues, probably walked in on mom while she was taking it up the ass from uncle fred
BLACK LIVES MATTER!!!
That’s what your mom said last night!
Hey Loomis Wipe the fucking Cum off of your chin you cock sucking faggot
shut up you wedge
URI. Wasn’t that the school that graduated Barry Killer Cadden from New England Compounding Center Fame who is currently facing 12 2nd degree murder charges in Michigan.
Way to go Michigan!!!!!
BA,Oregon,MA U of Tennessee, PhD, New Mexico. Yup, this guy is a major intellect in his field. Third rate a-hole, with degrees from third rate places, teaching at a third rate school. Can’t produce any real scholarship so he remakes himself into a SJW so the kids will like him and give him good reviews.
NFL opening Sunday.There is excessive rustling and hooting in the
canopy this morning.Be very careful out there tonight.
I think we all have some phone calls to make and emails to write come Monday. This garbage human being should NOT be employed at any location that teaches young minds!!
Peace and love have been forsaken; and forgoton. We live in fantastic times.
Gerry Callahan banged me in my ass last night and he didn’t even have the decency of give me a reach around. I’m seriously considering leaving his podcast. I am starting to lose respect for that old queen.
Black lives matter
Fck these violent feral monkey animals
This faggot has sucked quite a few sets of black balls
Almost as many as the Kardashian cunts
To the left it’s ok to advocate for actual murderers but advocating for those who have been murdered while protecting society from said murderers is so offensive that it warrants dismissal. This is their actual stance.
Lenin had guys just like him. Stalin murdered guys just like him. It’s sort of funny how they just reappear like zits on a hookers twaht. His day will come though. The day he will have to get out from under that keyboard and actually defend the hateful, vile filth he spreads. I dont give him much a chance.
No big surprise here. Most URI administrators are former democrat elected and appointed officials who wind up at URI, once their political careers have ended, in no-show jobs at high pay at URI principally to top off their state pension credits. They rack up pension credits at URI and then retire at high pay on the taxpayer dime. The number of former elected and appointed officials receiving salaries from URI is really disgusting.
Bonkers to drop $275,000 for a degree from a school nobody gives two shits about. Unless you are walking out with an undergraduate degree from an Ivy League or top 50 school, save $150,000 for a house and go to UMass Boston.
That is one pickle kissin’, pillow bitin’, stool packin’ fanook if there ever was one.
From reading URI ‘s response you would think Erik Loomis was fired and Claire Gadrow was not.Erik Loomis is clearly encouraging and condoning violence and Claire Gadrow is simply stating an opinion.Not all of us drank the BLM kool-aid and have retained the right to think and form our own opinions
Newport was a hub for the slave trade. Many of the largest shipping operations operated out of Newport ( Look up Aaron Lopez). URI was founded with profits directly from slavery and this chucklehead is just casting ridiculous aspersions in the hope no one notices. Feeding historical red meat lies to the woke lions.
As a human being he should be embarrassed but as a history professor he should resign immediately.
This fucking idiot and everyone that shares the same views as him should have been thrown in that COVID trench in NY. True honoring and upholding Law Enforcement should have everyones respect. As a whole, BLUE LIVES MATTER and no one is ever going to take that away!!!!! We have to keep up this fight!!!!!
If real Nazis were taking over I would side with them because I take the side of anyone who scares me that’s why I have been studying the koran so isis or al queda will spare my spineless weak body and mind.
Also I like getting pegged by my sister, she’s really tough.
sincerely Erik Loomis
Islam doesn’t tolerate homosexuality, they’d put you out of your misery quickly, and probably far more humanely than deserved.
I don’t know how I can keep getting more and more disappointed each day I read stuff like this, but I do. Dumb Nazi fucks, and they think THEY’RE the good guys. This guy is literally describing being able to kill (subjectively) inferior beings without any compunction, as described by Nietzsche.
I am sure the URI Schutzstaffel wannabes will be out in full force. Dehumanizing people and probably throwing a little bit of anti-christian anti-jew shit out there as well. They can all go fuck themselves. So while I’m on the topic of URI….
Back in 2010 when my friend and I did a live PA at URI at a rave thing they were having on campus. OMG worst experience (and we played everywhere) ever. The hired security fucking went through all of our gear (which took 45 minutes to setup) my friend was like we are being paid to be here you assholes! Eventually they backed down, they thought we were some kind of drug king pins but all we had was some gear and synths.
after we played and finished out the rave, we got the fuck out of there and vowed to never, ever, play at a college again. Fuck URI 10 years later.
CHICAGO (WLS) — Weekend violence continues to claim victims across Chicago.
As of 11 a.m. Saturday, 19 primares have been shot, four fatally, according to Chicago police.
A 21% kill rate certainly not optimal but a step in the right direction. Now dats what Ima talkin bout.
They need to clear there guns. a 25% kill rate is pathetic.
Augusto Pinochet would have these peoples heads. a kill rate is supposed to be in the 50-75% rank.
You sound cool, want to get a room?
#2 You sound unstable.
What you do with your parents should remain a family secret.
You sound even cooler – let’s all three of us get a room!
You pay though.
Didin’t i troll you wicked bad for the “man are better than woman thing” on you talk show. oh yah you will shut the fuck up.
Two in the morning and in your head – winning!
From Starship Troopers:
“And force my friends is violence. The supreme authority from which all other authorities are derived. People who forget that always pay.”
I guess this cuck forgot that supreme rule. If he is going to be all pro murder than this cuck should be ready to get his ass beat.
“Governments may think and say as they like, but force cannot be eliminated, and it is the only real and unanswerable power. We are told that the pen is mightier than the sword, but I know which of these weapons I would choose.”
-Adrian Carton de Wiart
Hardcore TDS going on here- celebrating the murder of an unarmed individual simply because of politics. This made national headlines; I hope this dick bag gets fired.
Federal funding to the schools needs to be cut until the schools get their act together and stop all forms of censorship. It is utter nonsense when the university says the professor has a right to free speech when his speech is left-wing, but when a conservative shares an opinion, he gets fired for “hate speech.” Our schools also need to stop indoctrinating young people. Their goal is to teach people how to think, not what to think.
Thanks for the article but you destroy any kind of credibility you have when you offer up expressions like “chode snatch” and the infamous “C-U next Tuesday.”
You have good content, and this particular article points out liberal hypocrisy but please clean up your act.
It’s ok, you can say it…CUNT!!!
Get off the high horse, if the choice of language takes away credibility for you, you might be too fragile for the internet.
This feigned outrage at petty shit is a big part of the problem in society. You’d rather have people speak nicely too you while they’re lyIng and screwing you over, then tell you the truth in a way that hurts feelings.
Get off the cross, we need the wood.
If you want violence come at me bro! These milqtostes would shit their pants if someone merely slapped them in the face.
Does anyone else find it interesting that about 3 months ago Liberal governors and even some Trump hating Republican Governors put a mask “mandate” in place – at the same time Antifa (An Queef Uh) riots were picking up.
Many people wanted antifa to unmask yet the liberals made masks the norm.
Not saying it’s a conspiracy. But it’s awful convienient timing
By the way. That mask “mandates” and “executive orders” are not only illegal (there not law passes by legislature) even if they were law they are unconstitutional.
Remember to boycott all businesses who force you to wear a mask. When the next recession hits due to the democrat assholes shutting down the economy, boycott the asshole businesses and put them out of business. Including these asshole colleges and their commie professors.
Fuck Erik Loomis – beta shit stain
Fuck URI – adult day care
Fuck antifa – beta face hiding cowards
Fuck SJW’s – all American hating pussies
Fuck BLM – Marxist front
Fuck the DNC – see “Fuck SJW’s…”
Fuck the Media – see “Fuck the DNC”
Marxism has been subtly ingrained into our society now for multiple generations. Many were led to believe the Cold War was over and that we “won”. Clearly, the theories of White Guilt, white privilege, blt123, etc, being normalized and accepted as fact – proves that war was lost.
Anyone that has studied or understands the basics of Marxism can recognize the depths of our current situation. There is no easy way out and just as it took 1-2 generations for Marxism to become the common man’s controlled thought, it will take at least 1-2 generations to remove it. It was started in the education of the youth. Now, it’s multi generational. A Marxist can be shown the truth – right in their face- and still will not have the ability to accept it as truth. This correlates with TDS.
All of the SJW bullshit is straight out of the playbook. If you think we are heading for a civil war you are blind. We are already in a civil war. They will lead you to think its a race war but in reality it is class warfare.
Hey turtle- can you come up with another description than warriors? Like social justice douchebags? More fitting.
I see nothing wrong with Loomis’ wife being knocked unconscious and dragged behind a dumpster to be savagely beat while violently raped by an AIDS-infected junkie. In fact, I would stand outside their house, on my own time, of course, and exercise my free speech rights into a bullhorn, “Your dirty whore wife deserved the raw dog grudge-fuck that gave her AIDS. You’re sure to be next, fag boy. ”
Aside from the rich, the only kids who can afford college are the ones going on the public dime. The taxpayer-funded indoctrination is funded all the way through college thus ensuring classism and racism. Meritocracy and hard work are the enemy and government is the solution. Public funding of colleges is basically campaign spending for the DNC.
Defund colleges. Most people who have degrees from the past paid their own way. And people who graduated high school and work should not have to fund someone else’s education. You Wana go to college? Good. Pay for it yourself.
You can’t afford college? Well your gonna have to work and save for it. I want a million dollars. No one is gonna hand that to me.
Fucking commie scum.
DEFUND COLLEGES. NO MORE TAXPAYER MONEY!
This is what the campus woke folk have become: dangerous partisan assholes.
DEFUND Higher education. Let it exist on its own in the marketplace. And we all know this pickle puffing faggot would say none of this to anyone’s face because he is a pussy who has lived and hidden his whole life in the fantasy land of academia
I’m a successful Contractor, I only have a High School education and I earn twice as much as this college professor. ……Not Bad for a Trump Supporter..
The only thing these people understand is to hit them in the wallet. Send your kid to a trade school. We’ll always need plumbers, electricians and brickies.
It’s bad enough that our kids are being indoctrinated by osmosis everyday anyway, but don’t pay 250k on top of it to be poisoned douches like this. That lady getting fired is everything you need to know about where they stand.
This organization provides scholarships and guidance in support of the trades.
This pud puller is not an outlier, but the majority group think. Walk down the hallway of any faculty building, and you be shocked at the stuff they are proud of. Stalin would smile. If higher education ever had a reality check these con men and women would all be bathroom attendants. I bet this slime mold has cuties recorded on his lap top. As far as the university goes, they all believe in this guy’s opinion during “Work” hours. The academics always get shot first, because they know its all bullshit.
Most. Not all. Most teachers are assholes. They signed up to teach as it was an easy job where you work half the year. Get nights and weekends off. Have a pension when you retire and you retire well before other jobs.
Those who can do. Those who can’t teach. Most college professors are stupid ass morons who guzzle the liberal kool aid.
Major budget cuts are coming. This is due to the democrats and rino Republicans (like Charlie faker) who shut down the economy to spite Trump.
Soon enough colleges are going to have major budget issues (not just because of less tax revenue but also most all colleges have had less students attending since 2010). Less people are going to college and now the tax revenue is down due to the dems so the college will have to lay some of these liberal douche bags off. Some colleges might even have to close. Remember Mount Ida?
Haha liberals. Gonna be a great day when you fuck head commies at the colleges get pink slips.
Defund Colleges. Stop sending taxpayer money to supplement colleges. Let the students who go to college pay their own way. Can’t afford it? Guess you have to work and join the real world then. You can go part time nights.
It’s not right for working people to have their money stolen from them and given to liberal brats to brainwash the select 18 to 22 year old punks who want to party for 4 years instead of live in the real world.
Incendiary comments? That’s my job!
Blah, blah, blah…..a bunch of gun stats…..blah, blah, blah……chimp, primate, ape!
another punch-able face.
I trust sweet karma to take care of people like this.
Another useful idiot. If it all goes sketchy these spineless idiots get disposed of first…by either side. More Global warming
Fags and their flags. America needs the gay pride flag.
Don’t blame us because you’re too stupid to understand the concept.
His picture tells you everything you need to know..
You can just tell by looking at that guy that every day of his high school existence he had his underwear pulled over his head and was shoved in a locker.
