Vitter inspects cadets in ROTC review
THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. (AP) — Terrified patrons hurled barstools through windows to escape or threw their bodies protectively on top of friends as a Marine combat veteran killed 12 people at a country music bar in an attack that added Thousand Oaks to the tragic roster of American cities traumatized by mass shootings. Dressed all in black with his hood pulled up, the gunman apparently took his own life as scores of police converged on the Borderline Bar & Grill in Southern California. The motive for the rampage late Wednesday night was under investigation. The killer, Ian David Long, 28, was a former machine gunner and Afghanistan war veteran who was interviewed by police at his home last spring after an episode of agitated behavior that authorities were told might be related to post-traumatic stress disorder.

Chancellor Jeffrey Vitter conducted his third annual inspection of Ole Miss ROTC cadets at the ROTC Chancellor’s Review Ceremony yesterday in front of the Lyceum. An inspection consists of cadets in formation being reviewed by a senior official on unit readiness and discipline. A review is generally used during change-of-command ceremonies and formal events that bring together large formations of troops. The review ceremony at Ole Miss has been a tradition since the late 90s. The University of Mississippi is home to Army, Navy/Marine and Air Force ROTC units.

The event was called “Nobody is above the law — Mueller protection rapid response” and was
organized by MoveOn, an activist group that promotes “social justice and political progress.” The protest kicked off with chants of “No Trump, no KKK, no fascist U.S.A.” and “Protect Mueller’s investigation.” Jordan Butler, a second year law student and host of Oxford’s protest, said a large reason for the gathering was former U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions’ firing and the promotion of Matthew Whitaker to acting Attorney General.
“(Whitaker) has written that he thinks it would be better for backlash purposes to just pull all funding from Mueller and refuse to let him indict anyone,” Butler said. “We’re here to protect Bob Mueller’s investigation.” Seth Dickinson, a first year law student, said he attended the protest because he sees the law as something worth “fighting for.” “When we started at the law
