Crowder undercover in Utah.

Moot said:
The U of U police weren't very convinced by Crowder's video....


"...Crowder’s production team presented the video to police moments after it was recorded.

“Police looked at the video, evaluated other information available to them, and determined the individuals did not pose a credible threat that warranted action,” Nelson told Fox 13 News..."

University of Utah Police evaluated undercover video of protesters at Ben Shapiro speech; determined no credible threat | fox13now.com​


The article did go on to say that one of the only two arrested at the protest was one of the females in Crowder's video. But other than that the protest was largely peaceful and Shapiro had his 40 minutes of free speech.


Shapiro even got air time on the local NPR station...

Seems about right, sensationalized but not staged.

EDIT: I do find it funny that they say the individuals weren't a credible threat but later on had to arrest one of them anyways. The video likely caused the police to keep a close eye on them in the event something did happen so it is entirely reasonable to say that the video ultimately lead to the arrest of that one person.

The young woman was arrested because she was involved in a "scuffle" but I don't think the video had much to do with her arrest.

No, not newsworthy.

Until they actually followed thru on their statements and then the liberal media would have screamed that they should have been stopped since their actions were know prior to the event. That is how this works.

People are stupid. They don't realize that 95% of the "entertainment and news channels on YT are scripted for views -- just like reality TV.

Well good to know that whenever Antifa punches or stabs someone, its all scripted.

Now imagine it happened at a Tea Party rally in 2010. It would be the lead story until the 2012 elections. Eco, they should at least verify it and cover it to some extent.

I agree 100%, if the story comes under the view of the media, they need to do the work to verify it all before running with it.

Unfortunately we have seen them do the exact opposite as of late, not including all of those hack late night host.
