U. T. law professor Reynolds urged motorists to drive over protesters

http://www.democraticunderground.com/10141579283

Conservative USA Today columnist and University of Tennessee law professor Glenn Reynolds caused an uproar on Twitter when he urged motorists to drive over protesters blocking a highway in North Carolina.

“Run them down,” Reynolds, who also produces the Instapundit website, tweeted late Wednesday with an image of the protesters on I-277.

No he wasn't. He's paid to think before writing, not after. He's a Law Professor, should be ex-prof. Bernardo de La Paz Sep 2016 #2

He should have explained that in his tweet. Duppers Sep 2016 #3

That explanation seems rather far from obvious.

Thanks for letting me know. I hate thinking that a law prof could be that stupid. But then again, he's conservative and a former libertarian, so just that should be enough proof.
