Mizzou’s Hunger Strike Grad Student is a “One Percenter”
Will this presidential election be the most important in American history?
So much for “checking your privilege”… it turns out Mizzou’s now famed hunger strike grad student, Jonathan Butler, is a card carrying member of the “One Percent.”
According to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch:
Jonathan Butler, a central figure in the protests at the University of Missouri, is an Omaha native and the son of a railroad vice president, the Omaha World-Herald reports. Butler refused food last week in a move to force the university system’s president, Timothy M. Wolfe, from office. Wolfe resigned Monday and Butler ended his hunger strike.
… He is a member of a prominent Omaha family. The newspaper says that Butler’s father is Eric L. Butler, executive vice president for sales and marketing for the Union Pacific Railroad. His 2014 compensation was $8.4 million, according to regulatory filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Butler has been omitting information and manipulating reality since the start of the #ConcernedStudents1950 protests began in order to fit his own agenda. He made claims that the University president hit him with his car during a homecoming parade, despite a video showing him rushing the car as it tried to back away from protestors:
