David Guth, a professor at the University of Kansas’ journalism department, Tweeted out a sick message to the world after Monday’s Navy Yard shooting. He hopes that the children of NRA members are killed by the next crazed mass murderer. And he calls it “God’s justice” on “misguided miscreants”. Equally appalling is that the University stands behind its sick professor who wishes death on children.
#NavyYardShooting The blood is on the hands of the #NRA. Next time, let it be YOUR sons and daughters. Shame on you. May God damn you.

According to CampusReform.org,
A journalism professor at the University of Kansas (KU) turned to Twitter on Monday to suggest he would like to see the murder of children of National Rifle Association (NRA) members at the hands of a deranged gunman.
“#NavyYardShooting The blood is on the hands of the #NRA,” tweeted David Guth, who is an associate professor of Journalism at the university’s William Allen White School of Journalism.
“Next time, let it be YOUR sons and daughters, he continued. “Shame on you. May God damn you.
Speaking with Campus Reform on Wednesday, Guth confirmed it was he who sent the controversial tweet.
“Hell no, hell no, I do not regret that Tweet,” he said. “I don’t take it back one bit.”
Guth also doubled down on the statement when other Twitter users pressed him, suggesting it was was shameful to call for the death of children.
“God’s justice takes many forms,” he tweeted in response.
And on Monday the associate journalism professor echoed those sentiments on his personal blog, called Snapping Turtle.
“I don’t wish what happened today on anyone,” he wrote. “But if it does happen again — and it likely will — may it happen to those misguided miscreants who suggest that today’s death toll at the Navy Yard would have been lower if the employees there were allowed to pack heat.”
Also in his interview with Campus Reform, he said that he wished “a pox on our Congress and a pox on the NRA” for not instituting gun control policies to prevent mass shootings. …
Despite early rumors, the weapon used in the Navy Yard shooting was not an assault weapon, but a shotgun typically used for hunting small birds and wild game.
KU on Wednesday told Campus Reform that they stand by the professor’s right to make such statements. …
While Guth’s Twitter account is personal, his biography includes a link that directs to the school’s website.
So, let’s sum this up. Americans, who respect and support the rights bestowed in our Constitution, want guns to be used to stop evil and protect human life. The KU professor, who resents our 2nd Amendment rights, wants guns to be used to kill children. Who is the “misguided miscreant”? And these sick people educate our children.
UPDATED by Mara Zebest: CampusReform reports University suspends professor calling his remarks “Disgraceful”. The question is how does the University define “suspend”? Does “suspend” mean with pay until the controversy blows over… or does “suspend” mean without pay as the first step towards firing? The photo below of the professor shows the “Dorian Gray painting effect” in which the outside physical appearance reflects the inner ugliness of his soul.
