>In the initial viral video that the Post was seeking comment on, Ms Rodriguez approaches an information stall run by Students for Life, a group of more than 120,000 young anti-abortion Americans who want to end access to abortion.

>In an expletive-filled rant, she then demands their removal and shoves pamphlets off the table before walking away, the viral video showed.
The Post has discredited itself numerous times in recent years. From a nonexistent laptop to paying homeless people to lie. I’m not sure the reporter didn’t provoke them
Oh wow. She brandished a freaking machete? I’m also pro-choice and detest groups like Students for Life, but we absolutely cannot physically threaten any person, especially with a weapon. I typically don’t attempt to debate these folks, as we’re not going to change each other’s minds, but any and all interactions must not be violent. She absolutely deserved to be fired.
Imagine how viral this would have gone if the professor was a conservative. Or if the races were different it would be national news “White Woman holds machete to neck of unarmed Black man”

She was obviously a little unhinged.

“Ms Rodriguez has been approached for comment.”
Remotely, I hope…

If they said they were from the New York Post she should have just acted instead of warning. Can’t kill what’s already dead inside.

Perfectly understandable reaction. I mean have you seen [Danny Trejo](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LNDLSS7faQo)?

“This is violent. You’re triggering my students.”
Literally commits an act of violence against a reporter leaving him at least slightly triggered I’m sure.
What a fucking jackass.

If I held a machete to someone’s throat, I’d be going to jail. Must be nice to have no accountability for your actions.
