Anyway, five of the campus police Mask Nazis physically removed me from the stadium, took me outside, threw my face to the concrete, handcuffed me, locked me in a patrol car for fifteen minutes, locked me in the Rice jail for another fifteen minutes, and finally let me go after they discovered the hundreds of thousands of dollars I have contributed to Rice athletics. Joe did give me an audience with his top staff the next morning, but he excused the harsh reaction of his police on the fact that I somewhat overstated my very high dollar contributions to the university. Sorry, Joe, after being treated like George Floyd, I’m no longer the major supporter of you I once was.
