    Jeez, and look at him trying to pull off a “ain’t I a stinker” cheeky face in his mugshot too. Is he running for Pharma-Bro’s crown of Most Punchable Face in America?

      His face does scream that he’ll say he “did it for the lulz”.

      “It was just a prank, can’t they take a joke”

      The standard privileged asshole defense.

    Oh my God, Oregon! You make the South look even worse than usua....oh, wait, Oregon is no where near Alabama and Mississippi, you say? Racism exists somewhere other than the South? But I thought racism only existed in the South according to some very stupid people?!

    Well, raise my rent!

      Agreed. Oregon is as racist as any southern state. You could argue they’re even worse, seeing as they spend all their time telling the rest of the country that they’re sooooo very “progressive.”

      Racism in a state founded for the sole purpose of becoming a white supremacist enclave? Nay

    Andrew Oswalt, a 27-year-old chemistry doctoral student

    This is why I never believe that just because someone has high academic achievements it means that they are “smart”. A lot of these type of PhD Bros are competent at their given field of study, but take them out of that element and they are as dumb as ditch water. Way to fuck up your future.

      Working with highly educated people in tech disabused me of that notion real fucking quick. The moment that really stands out for me from my entire time working at Enormous Multinational Software Company as an admin is the time I had to coordinate a multi-office move... I sent an email out to the team I supported asking for anyone with a lock on their office door to let me know if they wanted the lock moved to their new office so they could just keep using the same key they already had, and from the MIT graduate and supposed rock star of the team I received a reply: “I don’t understand what you mean by lock. Can you elaborate?”

      Tech people are usually the prime offenders of this. Their social and emotional intelligence is often non-existent.

    white supremacist propaganda written on it saying things like “diversity means fewer white people.”

    Clearly the admissions standards for doctoral students have gone down if they think that’s statistically correct.

    Have to wonder: what kind of chemistry was this guy into and was this guy working towards some sort of escalation? Were he epousing anything else and were from anywhere else there’d be a ton of eyes on this guy

      Search his apartment, you’ll find bomb making materials. Guaranteed.

      Of course, that’s true of anyone with normal cleaning supplies. But it’s a great add-on charge for chumps like this.

    If Oswalt posts bail, he will be banned from the university’s campus

    ... smooth buddy, Oswalt.

    Mr. Oswalt proves racism isn’t just a case of ignorance or economic anxiety. Oswalt is not uneducated; he’s been exposed to other ethnicities constantly, and he is not on skid row if he was a student in good standing.

    It’s ongoing, premeditated hostility toward anybody not fitting certain demographics, and the organization and effort to intimidate; coerce, and marginalize those people.

    But, he’ll wear a polo shirt, carry a Tiki torch, and get called probably one of the “good people on both sides”.

    “So, what are you in here for?”

    “Oh, I robbed a bank and then shot at the police while I was getting away? You?”

    “I...ummmm...put some racist bumper stickers on cars.”

    This boy needs his ass beat.

    The mind-boggling stupidity of people never fails to leave me agape. Wouldn’t this be something that you would do after you’ve graduated from the university and obtained your doctorate? Now alllllll of that time that he’s spent on that doctorate and all of the money he’s invested in his future are *poof* gone, because he’s expelled and he will never, ever get into another doctoral program because he’s radioactive. I guess I should thank him for his professional self-immolation.

      Was wondering the same thing. How brain dead do you have to be to risk your doctorate over something so mindbogglingly stupid? I can’t say I’m sorry for him though. One less racist in a position of power.

      Sometimes bad things happen to bad people and all there is to do is sit back and drink your hot cocoa with extra marshmallows and whipped cream.

    27 years old? Doctoral student?

    Gee. Seems like the guy could have saved himself quite a bit of trouble by just NOT going out of his way do something pointless and stupid.

    Here’s another potential story for you to follow, Breanna. Seems right up your “It’s 8 am and I think Breanna needs a huge cup of hot chocolate” vibe.
