Riley Gaines says 'literal human feces' thrown in protest of Turning Point USA at University of Washington
People protesting a Turning Point USA (TPUSA) event at the University of Washington in Seattle on Tuesday allegedly threw “literal human feces” at students checking in to hear a speech advocating against biological men competing in women’s sports.
The event, titled “The Fight is Far From Over,” took place Tuesday evening in the university’s Ethnic Cultural Theater and was led by Riley Gaines and Olivia Krolczyk. It was a public event open to anyone with a valid photo ID.
Gaines initially wrote on X that protesters at UW were chanting “God is trans” before updating her post with, “the protestors(sic) just threw *feces* at the @TPUSA students at check in. Literal human feces.”
Local media outlets reported that approximately 150 people were near the building protesting the speech. Many could be seen in social media videos waving transgender flags and holding signs – some vulgar – expressing opposition to Gaines and Krolczyk.

Other videos posted on social media by Frontlines, a media outlet powered by TPUSA, showed protesters in all black with their faces covered following event attendees to their cars, calling some “transphobes” and “scum of the earth” and suggesting that they kill themselves.
Some event attendees could be seen escorted by police as the agitators followed them for minutes while verbally harassing them.
“I hope you drop dead behind the wheel. F— you!” one agitator yelled in the parking lot, among other similar sentiments.

The University of Washington responded to Fox News Digital’s request for comment by saying there were no known injuries at Tuesday’s speaking event, which was attended by approximately 60 to 70 people and was “held with no disruption.”
A spokesperson acknowledged “understandably disturbing moments” took place outside the event, but said that those incidents did not “reach a legal threshold of direct threats,” adding that the vast majority of the 70 to 80 people protesting did so peacefully.
“UW police, along with partner agencies, worked very hard to keep our community safe through Tuesday’s event,” the spokesperson said, in part. “We are proud of the work our police are doing to keep the community safe, and we will not let the offensive and juvenile actions of a small handful of individuals diminish that.”
ANTI-ISRAEL PROTESTERS OCCUPY UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON BUILDING, 30 ARRESTED
Krolcyzk, an ambassador for the Riley Gaines Center at the Learning Institute and a self-described “free speech advocate and defender of women’s sports/spaces,” attempted to speak at the university in January, but was met with heavy opposition.
The event was ultimately shut down after she said protests turned “absolutely violent.”
“As soon as I arrived on campus, I was immediately met with confrontation. I had signs and flyers everywhere across campus telling me to leave, rallying people for the protest. It was insane – you couldn’t walk 10 feet without seeing them,” Krolczyk told OutKick’s Charly Arnolt at the time.
She continued: “However, it went from 0 to 100 in five minutes. It turned absolutely violent when Antifa showed up. We ended up having about 200 protesters.”

The protests on Tuesday come one day after 30 anti-Israel protesters were arrested and charged in connection with occupying an engineering building on campus for hours.
The group was demanding that UW divest from aerospace and defense manufacturer Boeing, which has a long history with the university.

California dad claims Dutch horse trader knowingly sold lame $475K equine
A California man is galloping to court after a Dutch horse dealer allegedly saddled him with a $500,000 lemon.
Gary Kamins sent his now 25-year-old daughter Gabby, who did competitive horse riding as a child, and her trainer Charmaine Levinson to Europe in August 2021, to pick out a horse for her to ride in competitions, he said in a lawsuit.
The pair settled on a $475,000 male horse named Grodino from Alan Waldman, whose Netherlands-based Waldman Horses allowed only a brief medical exam and provided no veterinary records, Kamins claimed in court papers.
But by the time the horse, whose barn name was “Dino,” was transported to the port of Los Angeles and on his way to Levinson’s Pacific Palisades stable, Kamins alleged it was clear something wasn’t right.
“Once Dino arrive at Cha Cha’s horse and training facility…[the horse] showed signs of physical pain and distress,” Kamins alleged in the California Federal Court papers.
Dino refused to do any jumps or training, and vets eventually realized he had a painful bone spur in its spine and a “progressive negative spinal condition.”
“Notwithstanding intensive veterinary care by Kamins for Dino, Dino never recovered and never competed in competition,” he claimed in the lawsuit, which alleged Waldman refused to refund the purchase price.
The doting dad was also out four years of funds he paid to Levinson to train and try to rehabilitate Dino, he said in the lawsuit, without detailing the amount.
He claims Waldman also paid Levinson an unknown commission.
Neither Waldman nor Levinson could immediately be reached for comment.
