Last we heard from members of the White Student Union at Towson University they were speaking up for disenfranchised white voters at CPAC. Well, now they’re back, starting up nighttime campus patrols.

Not that there’s anything racist about it. According to Matthew Heimbach, WSU President, who was the main guy at CPAC, “If we see a white person commit a crime against a person who is not white, we’re going to assist the person who was attacked every time.”

From ‘The Towerlight’, which bills itself as ‘Towson’s campus and community news source’ …

Heimbach said female members have also been enrolling in self-defense classes, and members have been going to local gun ranges as a group, but not in a “military way,” Heimbach said.

He said group members would carry no weapons on the nighttime walks.

Though the group could not find a faculty adviser and therefore cannot be a University affiliated organization, administration has allowed the group to meet and use University facilities, despite community outcry.

In the fall semester, Heimbach rented the Chesapeake rooms so a guest speaker, self-described “racial realist” Jared Taylor, could conduct a lecture on how diversity is not a strength.
