Star high school wrestler Bronson Harmon lost his athletic scholarship to attend California Polytechnic State University (Cal Poly) after he was caught on video holding up pro-President Trump signs and screaming an anti-gay slur at a political rally.

The 18-year-old showed up to counter-protest a June 30 “Keep Families Together” rally in Modesto, Calif. with his father, in response to President Trump’s “zero-tolerance” immigration policy that separated thousands of migrant children from their parents at the U.S.-Mexico border, the San Luis Obispo Tribune News reported this week.

Activist Abdul Lasaing recorded a heated exchanges between Harmon and anti-Trump protesters attending the event.

“I heard a group of men shouting and trying to scare us by saying #sendthemback and even yelled at someone ‘n****r’,” recounted Lansing.

Lansing added: “I was so choked so I automatically pulled out my phone to record and see who was being so disrespectful.”

“Fu-k you, fa-got,” Harmon yells, while giving the camera the middle finger.

Harmon’s father, Todd, was with him at the protest and can be heard yelling “send their asses back.”

The video posted to Facebook and has been viewed more than 48,000 times as of Friday.

Todd Harmon told reporters that Cal Poly had revoked his son’s athletic scholarship.

The school’s communications specialist, Cynthia Lambert, confirmed that Harmon will no longer be on the school’s wrestling team.

1. love it

this is the way to fight hate - with technology not violence. I wish antifa would employ non-violent tactics such as exposing identities of those freaks with drone footage if necessary and make it go viral, etc.

[brewens]

9. There really isn't much of an Antifa. In most cases, I don't think we know who the hooded assholes

that get violent really are. I've suggested numerous times that protest organizers could do something about that. Organize some two person teams to follow and film anyone that gets out of line. Young people that can run. Follow them all the way to their cars or whatever if they can. You might even catch them being let back across police lines or something really revealing.

[sfwriter]

36. Antifa uses nonviolence as its main tool

They dox these assholes and endure death threats all the time.

Follow their twitter feeds.

2. Actions have consequences.

Good for the school. They don't want that crap spewed on their campus.

[onit2day]

21. Another delusional bigot bites the dust

[dalton99a]

29. +1

[PatSeg]

40. A very powerful

AND expensive life lesson. Also, in this digital age, one never knows if they are on camera and if they will become famous or infamous overnight.

Too bad, so sad kid. Shame your parents didn't teach you about actions and consequences when you were younger.

[USALiberal]

3. Good, glad he is a fucking idiot. Exposed himself. Dad raised a real POS. nt

[Blue_true]

13. Looks like his dad is a POS.

The apple didn't fall far from the tree in that case.

[dchill]

4. Freedom of speech is NOT our only right.

It does not TRUMP them.

[mr_lebowski]

5. As we speak, I'm sitting here in a Cal Poly (SLO) hoodie/sweater I got for Xmas from my Cousin

Me and both my cousins are grads, and I just wanna say ...

F*CK THIS GUY.

I'm ecstatic he's not sullying my alma mater's name ...

GO MUSTANGS!

[MineralMan]

11. My alma mater!

1972

[Cha]

6. ...

[X_Digger]

7. Free speech does not mean free from consequence. n/t

[juxtaposed]

8. One is not born with hate in their heart, one learns hate. He should be allowed to join

his fellow wrestlers and develop a collage experience that will instill upon him what his father was lacking in empathy and inclusion.

[Progressive Law]

12. Suspending his scholarship *IS* a learning opportunity.

The kid won't learn anything if there weren't any consequences.

[juxtaposed]

15. But he can still go to the same school if he pays?

[Progressive Law]

16. That's the college experience you were referring to. NT

[rurallib]

17. I would guess yes, but the school probably does not him representing them

in any way. That is if he wanted to try out for varsity wrestling non-scholarship they would most likely say no.

Even Indiana had as much of Bobby Knight as they could stand

[Mariana]

20. Why should the other students have to deal with this asshole?

Seriously, he behaves like that when he knows he's being recorded. I can just imagine how he acts when he thinks no one is looking.

[rpannier]

27. All the school said was he won't be on the wrestling team

That probably means he can still attend the school, just that he must foot his own tuition, books, and bed and board

[LastLiberal in PalmSprings]

28. You've got to be taught to hate

[Blue_true]

10. The school did exactly what it should have done. Fuck that little Nazi. nt

[Thomas Hurt]

14. Maybe he can get a scholarship at Liberty U as a self righteous bigot.

[Electrical Arc]

18. Hopefully he will learn a trade

Instead of whining about college. Buck up, fuckwad and go join the military.

[rurallib]

19. He really needs to thank his dad for losing that scholarship.

Dad appears to be the one who taught him to hate.

Hopefully the kid will learn the world does not revolve around him. There are consequences for his words and his actions.

Be nice to see where he is in 10 years - if he was able to shake off his upbringing or if he still sees himself as a victim.

[dhol82]

22. Sad his father was so effective

Hate breeds hate.

[yourmovemonkey]

23. Poor little snowflake

Why would he want to be stuck on a campus with a bunch of eggheads anyway? Now's his chance to really take a stand for what he claims to believe in, and enlist in the infantry.

[DFW]

24. Sunlight is often a great ally in the struggle against evil

And not just vampires. No one can prevent these cretins from harboring their sentiments, but it IS possible to insure that they never again think it is perfectly acceptable to publicly express those sentiments anywhere, and that it is indeed laden with all sorts of irrevocable negative consequences.

[littlemissmartypants]

25. Freedom to fail. Often overlooked of the many

Freedoms out there.

[JDC]

26. Guess Father and Son now know exactly what "zero tolerance" really means.

And like all great men of character, they immediately blame others for their own actions and mistakes. Maybe he can wrestle at Modesto CC

[Initech]

30. Sounds like your typical Chump supporter!

[aikoaiko]

31. I don't know the case law, but some public univ are not meting out consequences due to 1st A rights

Scholarships, even at a public university, might be different because they are often paid through donations to a non-profit foundation.

[tblue37]

32. He signed a paper that acknowledges his scholarship can be rescinded if

He does anything that could embarrass the university.

[aikoaiko]

34. Ahh. There you go. Thanks for the info.

I have to see if my university is considering something like this.

[yardwork]

39. Scholarships are a privilege. Being on an athletic team is a privilege.

Any student athlete whose behavior reflects poorly on their team can lose the privilege. This is made very clear when scholarships are offered.

[BlueStater]

33. This story is from July.

Regardless, I'm glad this douchebag got what he deserved.

His dipshit father sounds like a great guy too. Some people really shouldn't be parents.

[ellie]

35. Good.

[Itchinjim]

37. "Todd"

Why am I not surprised?

[rownesheck]

38. he'll just

go do some real wrasslin' over at the WWE. He could be Todd the Bod, or Douche LaRouche, or King Dipshit.
