Update: UVA Issues No Trespass Warning for Jason Kessler

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. (WVIR) -

Unite the Right rally organizer Jason Kessler is no longer allowed to set foot on University of Virginia property.

He will still be able to go to the UVA Medical Center, as well as attend paid events on university property.

The university announced Friday, April 27, that it is in the process of serving Kessler, a UVA alum, a no trespass warning. The university made its decision after hearing multiple reports that he threatened students in person, targeted them through cyber-bullying and cyber-harassment, and targeted them based on protected characteristics.

The university also believes Kessler intentionally and purposefully misled the UVA Police Department regarding the torch-lit rally on August 11, 2017, held by members of the 'alt-right' and white nationalists. Kessler had helped to organize that event, as well.

Coincidentally UVA issued a new trespass policy 4/25:

The Chief of Police, or designee, is authorized by the Code of Virginia §§ 23.1-815 and 18.2-119 to issue a Trespass Warning that excludes individuals from all University or Medical Center property or a specific building or area. This policy governs the issuance of a Trespass Warning by the University of Virginia Police Department.
Definition of Terms in Statement:

Trespass Warning:

A written notice issued by the University of Virginia Police that warns a person that the person is not permitted to enter or remain upon the University or Medical Center property described in the Trespass Warning.

Policy Statement:

This policy governs the issuance of a Trespass Warning by the University of Virginia Police Department. The University and the Medical Center retain the authority to ban current employees, students, patients, and visitors using existing processes such as a disciplinary or administrative process. This Policy and its accompanying procedures do not apply to any Trespass Warning issued as a result of a disciplinary or administrative process. This Policy and its accompanying procedures also do not apply to any Trespass Warning issued by local law enforcement for trespass on University or Medical Center property.

2. A raindrop here and a raindrop there ...

enough raindrops and you have a flood.

I had tried to remove hate from my life, but I sense it returning. The ne'er do well Kessler, organized a hate demonstration that resulted in the death of my former coworker/friend's granddaughter. He has expressed no remorse and externalized all blame. His only accomplishment in his life is this crap. It is our (my) fault according to him.

He will be tied up in court for several years. After that, I hope he feels unwanted enough to go away, but where would I wish him to go? I can't hope he lands on some other community. There are no easy answers.
