We're all for free speech - even disgusting free speech... but then there's assault. A Texas Tech student found herself in hot water after mocking the brutal assassination of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk during a prayer vigil for the prominent conservative activist.
Camryn Giselle Booker, 18, was caught on camera jumping around, yelling at students, and shoving her phone on the faces of people honoring Kirk, callously shouting, “Fcuk y’all homie dead, he got shot in the head.” The outrageous behavior didn’t stop there. Booker confronted a man in a red MAGA hat, who groaned and remarked while panning to her, “Evil is real, people — and it kind of looks like that.”
The footage shows Booker erupting when someone off-camera suggested she was being too emotional. “I’m not being emotional, ma’am. Don’t tell me what I am and what I’m not,” she snapped. “’You could get out of my face ’cause I can tell you what you are, but you won’t like it.”
"I want to be left alone," said a man in a MAGA hat, before someone told Booker she was being emotional.
According to the Daily Mail;
The situation then escalated when Booker allegedly shoved several people, including an elderly veteran and a young mother with her child - which prompted a physical altercation that spread into the street.
Booker was then taken into custody and was charged with battery, disorderly conduct and resisting arrest and was cited for assault.
She was released on a $200 bond the next day, the Lubbock County Sheriff's Office confirmed to the Daily Mail.
Booker then played the race card (shocking, we know), accusing vigil attendees of bigotry for calling out her disgraceful conduct. “I’m not being aggressive. My voice is very calm. You’re calling me aggressive because I’m a black woman,” she claimed.
Texas Governor Greg Abbott (R) didn’t hold back, sharing an image of Booker in handcuffs. “This is what happened to the person who was mocking Charlie Kirk’s assassination at Texas Tech,” he wrote, adding the blunt acronym “FAFO” — short for “Fuck around and find out.”
Booker was hit with charges of battery, disorderly conduct, and resisting arrest, with an additional citation for assault, according to the New York Post. She was released on a measly $200 bond the next day. Texas Tech has since expelled her for her appalling actions.
Texas Tech University told Newsweek in a statement that the "referenced individual is no longer enrolled at Texas Tech University."
"Any behavior that denigrates victims of violence is reprehensible, has no place on our campus, and is not aligned with our values," the spokesperson told the news outlet.
Kirk was gunned down on stage Wednesday evening during a packed "American Comeback Tour" event at Utah Valley University in Orem, Utah. Video footage captured the horrifying moment as Kirk, mid-debate on transgender gun violence with a heckling audience member, recoiled in agony from a sniper's bullet to the neck, collapsing in a pool of his own blood before stunned bodyguards and supporters dragged him to safety. A 22-year-old suspect, Tyler Robinson, has since been apprehended after a frantic 33-hour manhunt fueled by surveillance images, but the alleged assassin refuses to cooperate. Utah Governor Spencer Cox (R) confirmed that Robinson harbored a "leftist ideology" and was reportedly living with a transgender person, Lance Twiggs, with whom he was in a romantic relationship.
