In an unhinged social media post on Saturday evening, a UCLA professor called on the U.S. Military to violently depose President Donald Trump.
The threat was made by Peter Arenella, who teaches multiple law courses at the prestigious school, as well as seminars on “moral agency” and “criminal law excuse theory,” according to his university biography.
“At this point, my only hope for the US to avoid becoming an ally to Russia is a violent resistance by our military. Tragic to say that because the military are trained to avoid any politically motivated intervention,” the professor said of the democratically elected president.
“Firing all the Joint Chief of Staff military leaders and replacing them with military acolytes of Trump anticipated that possibility and acted swiftly to minimize that type of intervention. Ultimately, we will get what we deserve by giving Trump a second chance to destroy our democracy,” the post, which is still live as of 8:30 Eastern Time, continued.
According to his biography, Arenella is a recipient of the School of Law’s Rutter Award for Excellence in Teaching.
“He is a nationally recognized criminal law and procedure scholar, writing about the relationship between criminal and moral responsibility by exploring competing conceptions of criminal culpability and moral agency at work in immaturity and mental disability defenses (e.g., insanity, diminished capacity, mental retardation),” Arenella’s biography reads. “His moral agency work in philosophical and legal journals has generated considerable commentary and is frequently cited in ongoing debates about the justifications for criminal punishment. He has also written extensively on the privilege against self incrimination and grand jury practices.”
He once achieved national prominence while working as a legal analyst for ABC News during the O.J. Simpson murder trial in 1995. Arenella has also provided legal analysis for ABC News, Los Angeles KNX radio and KTLA Channel 5.
