The rhetoric and actions taken by the eight people indicted in the University of Michigan conspiracy case was not just extreme. It was violent, threatening, and openly conspiratorial.

According to the indictment, one defendant said: “I’m gonna be the dirtiest f**king doctor ever.”

Another said: “get into that house then burn it down.” 🧵

Colin Hunter Weger, 24, of Ann Arbor, MI, is charged with two counts of conspiracy to transmit threats in interstate and foreign commerce.

Taken together, the allegations in this case point to something bigger than campus activism: rhetoric escalating into threats, intimidation, and alleged coordinated conduct.

The University of Michigan conspiracy case shows what happens when extremist rhetoric is allowed to harden into action.
