Professor who shared vile response to Kirk's assassination receives lesson about consequences: 'Sick people'

Ruth Marshall is an associate professor for the study of religion and political science at the University of Toronto. She was among the many leftists who evidently figured the assassination of Charlie Kirk on Wednesday was a good thing. Marshall actually went a step further than some radicals, suggesting the fatal shooting of the unarmed father of two was not brutal enough.

Marshall — a radical who has spent well over a decade yammering about post-colonialism, the limits of liberalism, and religious violence — wrote in an X post just hours after the Turning Point USA founder was fatally shot while attempting to engage in spirited debate on a university campus, "Shooting is honestly too good for so many of you fascist c**ts."

Ontario Premier Doug Ford told the Toronto Sun on Thursday, "That is disgusting."

"Sick people," the premier added.

Hours after Blaze News pressed the university and its chancellor for comment on Marshall's vile remarks, a spokesperson responded, stating, "The university took immediate action upon learning of the concerning social media posts of a University of Toronto professor. The faculty member is now on leave and not on campus."

It should be noted that being put on leave is not the same as being terminated.

"The matter is being looked into, and the University will not be commenting further," the spokesperson added.

The Toronto Sun's Brian Lilley claimed that Marshall, whose banner image on X signals her support for so-called decolonization in both Canada and the Middle East, recently called his publication a fascist organization and implored other radicals to shut it down.

Marshall did not respond to Blaze News' request for comment by deadline.

Other callous academics came out of the woodwork in the immediate aftermath of Kirk's death, signaling their tolerance for slaughtering people who hold differing viewpoints.

Joseph Derosier, a professor of international studies at Beloit College in Wisconsin who writes about queer theory, appears to be among them. Derosier allegedly shared a video to social media of an atheist gleefully suggesting that the fatal wounding of Kirk in the neck brought him 1% closer to believing in God.

Blaze News has reached out both to Derosier and Beloit College for comment.
