Controversial Kent State gun girl Kaitlin Bennett made a surprise appearance at Ohio University on Monday and things did not go well for her as she got run off campus by hundreds of protesters who were not happy with her presence.
Bennett dropped by OU on Presidents Day to film a video asking students trivia questions about the holiday, but was immediately heckled by protesters who were demanding that she leave the campus. Additionally, others began throwing rolls of toilet paper at her in reference to a rumor suggesting that she once shit herself at a party while in college.

Ohio University Police said in a statement that they were caught off guard by Bennett’s surprise appearance, however, they rejected her claims that the crowd was at “riot” level.

Bennett vowed to return to Ohio University with an “army of gun owners” for an open-carry walk through the campus.
I will absolutely be returning to @ohiou's campus again, and next time I'll bring an army of gun owners for an open carry walk through campus. You can't keep us away and you can't keep us silent. Just like Donald Trump, we will always win.
