Transgender man says: “I think Republicans should be shot in the street” moments prior to brutally assaulting a College Republican student SALT LAKE CITY — The University of Utah said it's offering "support and resources" to the victim of an attack on campus — a member of the College Republicans — and it's doing the same for the person who was cited for misdemeanor assault and property damage. "Two Class B misdemeanors don't get you expelled or even in trouble?" posted Riley Beesley, Utah College Republicans chair. "Insane." The assault happened this week near the College Republicans' tent outside the Marriott Library, where the group had put up a provocative whiteboard, stating, "There are only two genders," and then inviting students to vote "yes" or "no." The university said a person wiped the board by hand, which promoted the individual and a member of the College Republicans to "argue" about gender and free speech. A video recording showed the tail end of the conversation before a person charged the GOP student — who yelled for the person to get off him. An image from the College Republicans, in the aftermath, showed the student with a ripped shirt. The woman cited, Amber Grace, said the charges against her should be dismissed. "I believe I am a victim of transphobic aggression,” said Grace, “and because the University protects the College Republicans and enables them to bully students, I was cited with these bogus charges." Bryan Moore, a freshman GOP student, said he was near when the assault happened, and has read others social media calls for the citations to be tossed. "Quite ridiculous,” said Moore. ”I mean we saw this on video. There's video proof." The latest controversy follows a cake celebrating the death of Charlie Kirk brought to the campus by another student — and sports analyst Pat McAfee saying he felt “uncomfortable” at the U on ESPN’s GameDay program, and vowed never to return. ]]> Thu 29 Oct 2026 19:59:05 +0200 https://theworldwatch.com/videos/1621194/transgender-man-i-think-republicans-should-be-shot-in-the-street/ https://theworldwatch.com/videos/1620922/activist-booked-for-assaulting-deputy-after-disrupting-county-meeting/
PROVO, Utah — A woman was arrested and two other people were cited after a confrontation with deputies at a Utah County Planning Commission meeting Tuesday night, where officials considered proposed zoning changes for data centers. Video shared by UT for the People — No Tech Billionaires appears to show a woman being taken to the ground and restrained by law enforcement outside the commission chambers following the meeting. The Utah County Sheriff's Office said the incident happened Oct. 20 after commissioners voted on a proposed land use ordinance related to data centers. The agency said several people became disruptive following the vote and commissioners asked that those individuals be removed. The group that provided the video disputes the circumstances leading to the woman's arrest, saying she was targeted by police despite not being vocal at the time of the confrontation. In a statement, the Utah County Sheriff's Office said deputies first asked a man to leave the meeting. He complied without incident and was not cited, according to the agency. Deputies then attempted to remove a woman who, according to the Sheriff's Office, refused to leave and began arguing with them. The agency said a deputy took hold of the woman to remove her from a row of chairs. The Sheriff's Office alleges the woman struck the deputy in the groin and that two other people grabbed the woman to prevent her removal. The three were taken out of the chambers and into the lobby, where deputies began separating those involved. During that process, the woman and a deputy went to the ground, according to the Sheriff's Office. The agency said the woman was placed in handcuffs after she stopped resisting. ]]> Thu 22 Oct 2026 15:45:09 +0200 https://theworldwatch.com/videos/1620922/activist-booked-for-assaulting-deputy-after-disrupting-county-meeting/ https://theworldwatch.com/videos/1620701/sunny-honey-utah-boba-shop-closes-early-after-black-customer-trashes-the-place/

One person is injured after a stabbing at the Valley Fair Mall. According to the West Valley City Police Department (WVCPD), they responded to the Valley Fair Mall shortly before 3:00 p.m. for reports of a stabbing. When they arrived, they found that a male suspect approached a male employee who was working at a kiosk at the Valley Fair Mall. The suspect pulled out a knife and began to stab the employee multiple times. Several bystanders interfered and were able to separate the suspect from the victim, subduing the suspect until police arrived. When officers arrived, they were able to take the suspect into police custody. The victim was transported to a hospital where they are undergoing surgery. The police said that there is no threat to the public at this time. ]]> Tue 14 Jul 2026 08:58:03 +0200 https://theworldwatch.com/videos/1617497/bystanders-knocked-out-a-suspect-after-he-stabbed-an-employee-at-valley-fair-mall/ https://theworldwatch.com/videos/1613496/a-native-american-family-in-utah-is-speaking-out-after-what-they-say-was-a-complete-b/
A Native American family in Utah is speaking out after what they say was a complete breakdown of the system inside their own home. They claim an officer showed up with a woman who legally was not supposed to be near the property due to protective orders and instead of verifying anything he allegedly ignored the paperwork crumpled it and forced his way inside. No warrant. No permission. Just escalation. According to the family they tried to hand over court documents showing the children’s father had full custody along with protective orders against the mother. They say those papers were never properly reviewed before things turned physical. What was supposed to be a civil standby quickly turned into chaos right in front of children who were so scared they reportedly barricaded themselves in a room. Then it gets even more serious. The family says they were the ones charged accused of assaulting an officer. But in the end a judge dismissed the case with prejudice. Now they are asking a question many are raising. How does someone show up with a restricted individual ignore court orders enter a home and the family ends up being charged? They also claim the officer was later fired after multiple complaints and say tribal authorities were involved at one point adding another layer to an already complicated situation but ultimately the charges did not hold up in court. For this family the impact goes beyond the courtroom. They say the trauma still lingers especially for the children who witnessed everything unfold ]]> Mon 30 Mar 2026 22:57:59 +0200 https://theworldwatch.com/videos/1613496/a-native-american-family-in-utah-is-speaking-out-after-what-they-say-was-a-complete-b/ https://theworldwatch.com/videos/1612883/she-wrote-a-grief-book-after-losing-her-husband-turns-out-she-killed-him/
