Last semester, I served as president of the Boston University College Republicans but decided to step down for this academic year. These days, I mostly just post about the books I read and have little interest in discussing politics on here. But on Friday, this year’s president, Colin Sharpe, tragically died in a car accident. And now people are celebrating his death on BU’s anonymous student forum. Yes, the post has only eight upvotes. But that is still eight people celebrating the death of a fellow student because of his political affiliation. I’m sure the overwhelming majority of BU students find this just as disgusting as I do. But it is deeply disturbing that some people on this campus don’t merely disagree with conservatives. They seem to genuinely want us dead.
