U.S. Rep. Anthony Brown (Dem. 4th District) stood just outside the stone circle surrounding the torch. On poles just behind him were banners, one green saying “Pride,” one purple saying “Legacy.” “This is tragic. Here’s a young man I never met, but I feel like I know. He did everything he was supposed to do. He got his degree in business administration and died steps away from graduation. The growing extremism in our country and Maryland is mind-boggling, mindless, senseless,” said Brown, the state’s former lieutenant governor. Brown said he would be calling upon the university system to “step up its efforts” to protect freedom of expression but also to protect students from racism and acts of hatred. |
