On Thursday, April 24, Tallahassee Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) organized a rally demanding the FSU administration stop allowing manifestations of white supremacy on campus. The protest was called in response to a mass shooting by a white supremacist on April 17 that resulted in the deaths of Robert Morales and Tiru Chabba, as well as the injury of six others.
Towards the end of the protest, Lain Dorsey, head of communications with the SDS chapter, turned on a microphone with a hidden speaker and pointed it toward the admin building. One FSU police officer gave Dorsey a trespass warning for using amplified sound, but they ignored it. A swarm of police descended upon Dorsey, arresting them as they chanted, “Robert Morales and Tiru Chabba! Say their names!”.
Lain joins us on the show today to breakdown their arrest, the intensification of repression on college campuses, and how student activists are fighting back!
