The student described tense moments following the evacuation, in which she hid in a janitor\u2019s closet with a policeman as screaming protestors ran through the halls of the building searching for her.<\/p>\n<p>Neidert and Younger, who is the father of James Younger, a boy whose mother insists he is a girl and treats him as such, said that members of the University of North Texas police department, the Texas Department of Public Safety, and the Denton Police Department were present on Wednesday night. None of these organizations responded to The Daily Wire\u2019s requests for comment.<\/p>\n<p>In a video recorded by Neidert, a protestor can be heard screaming, \u201cF*** you, f*** you\u201d in a crowded parking lot as Neidert attempts to get into a police car. Neidert, a former president of the University of North Texas chapter of Young Conservatives of Texas, said that the video shows police escorting her out of the building.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cF***ing ugly, f***ing ugly fat b****,\u201d one person can be heard shrieking. The screaming protestors can be seen holding signs saying \u201cyour hate speech has no place here.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Neidert told The Daily Wire that though she attempted to video and document everything, she feared for her life.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cInitially when we were first led out of the building to evacuate, I felt like everything was gonna be under control, but after I was chased into the building with a police officer, when we were in this janitor\u2019s closet, I honestly was very scared,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis stuff hasn\u2019t ever really seemed scary to me,\u201d she added. \u201cI guess I don\u2019t really care about the backlash I received, but when I was literally hiding in a janitor\u2019s closet with a police officer and the lights off with these people running in the hallway, screaming, I mean, at that point I was pretty scared for my life.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Both Younger and Neidert believe that they were mobbed by people aligned with Antifa. The anti-fascist account \u201cElm Fork John Brown Gun Club\u201d posted repeatedly about the event, warning in one tweet, \u201cIf you were at the UNT protest, no you weren\u2019t.

And so I did get separated. At\u00a0that point I\u2019m being shoved, I\u2019m not sure if it\u2019s by police officers behind me or if it\u2019s by these protestors.\u00a0I still don\u2019t know.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Younger was able to get into the car with a police officer and the car door was shut, she said. But she was not able to get into the car because she had been separated from the group.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe police officers that were outside of the car were holding everybody back, including me,\u201d she said. \u201cAnd I said, no, I need to be in that car.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Neidert was wearing a MAGA hat and a Governor Greg Abbott shirt, she said, and one officer got a good look at her and realized that she needed help.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo that officer starts chasing after the car and they were having some difficulty leaving because there were about, I\u2019d say 150 people that were at the back of the building at that point, and\u00a0so of course, all these people are swarming and not wanting the police car to leave.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo we tried to get the car to let us in, but if they had opened the door for me, these protestors would\u2019ve been able to get in,\u201d she added. \u201cSo they were unable to open the open the door and that car just left.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd so then I had these police officers running with me to these other police cars, but for some reason, nobody had the keys to the cars,\u201d Neidert said. \u201cIt was pretty frantic. So we didn\u2019t really have time to wait and figure out who had keys to which car. And so at that point, people have realized that it\u2019s me out there. They started screaming my name and were chasing after us. And so we run into a nearby building and the police officer locks the door behind us.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Neidert said there were two other entrances to the building, an auditorium, besides the one they entered through, but she is not sure if the other entrances were locked. When she looked down the hall at one point and saw a \u201cmass of people banging on the door to get in,\u201d the officer had her turn around and run back to where they came from and up some stairs.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd then we hear that people are getting in the building,\u201d she said. \u201cSo we get to the third floor of this building, and they have me in a janitor\u2019s closet with a police officer. And at that point, the janitor\u2019s closet locked from the inside. And so we could open it, but people in the outside couldn\u2019t.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAt that point, they did not know where I was, they just knew I was in the building,\u201d she explained.<\/p>\n<p>Neidert said that she and the police officer could hear people running in the hallway and screaming, and they turned off the lights in the closet. Though she said that someone ran by and shook the door handle, her whereabouts were not discovered.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m not sure how much time passed,\u201d she said. \u201cI wanna say it was probably about 20 minutes.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>By that time the crowd had been backed off the building enough that they could get out and into a police car, she told The Daily Wire. But then the crowd swarmed the car, she said, adding that one person even jumped in front of the vehicle. She believes that person was hit by the car, though she is not sure.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe just booked it,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>Younger repeatedly praised the protection he received from police to The Daily Wire.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey had a whole plan to evacuate us and got us out of there,\u201d he said. He estimated that there were about 300 people waiting outside the back door of the building when he stepped outside with Neidert and the police.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m not sure I was afraid for my life,\u201d he said, \u201cbut I really thought we were going to get into it.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>Death Threats Before The Event<\/h3>\n<p>The backlash follows Governor Greg Abbott (R-TX) <a href=\"https:\/\/gov.texas.gov\/uploads\/files\/press\/O-MastersJaime202202221358.pdf\">direction<\/a>\u00a0to the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services to investigate the parents of children who have undergone \u201cso-called \u2018sex change\u2019 procedures.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Abbott had warned that \u201cit is already against the law to subject Texas children to a wide variety of elective procedures for gender transitioning, including reassignment surgeries that can cause sterilization, mastectomies, removals of otherwise healthy body parts, and administration of puberty-blocking drugs or supraphysiologic doses of testosterone or estrogen.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Neidert told The Daily Wire that she has received many violent threats over her affiliation with the event.<\/p>\n<p>Students had also started a petition to expel Neidert, accusing her of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.change.org\/p\/the-university-of-north-texas-expel-kelly-neidert-for-harassment-towards-the-trans-community\">perpetuating<\/a> \u201ca hostile environment by encouraging and disseminating transphobic, racist, and homophobic rhetoric.\u201d The petition has\u00a0garnered over 17,000 signatures.<\/p>\n<p>The petition refers to a controversy that initially started when Neidert printed out flyers for the Thursday evening event with Younger in the school library. The flyers called for the criminalization of child transgender transitions, she told The Daily Wire, and a student who saw her printing them confronted her and began \u201ccursing [her] out.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Neidert took a video of the interaction and posted it on social media, where it quickly raked in over a million views.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo then the story started getting out about what I was printing on campus,\u201d she said. The university president issued a statement that did not specifically name Neidert or the club, she said, but he <a href=\"https:\/\/www.unt.edu\/notices\/embracing-all-our-community-members-official-notice-president\">warned<\/a> that though students on campus might have hurtful or intolerant views, their views are still protected speech.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI know the last several days may have felt particularly difficult for the transgender members of our community, due to the intolerant views of a handful of campus members,\u201d the statement said. \u201cWe have a variety of <a href=\"https:\/\/idea.unt.edu\/trans-unt\">resources<\/a> through our <a href=\"https:\/\/idea.unt.edu\/\">Division of Inclusion, Diversity, Equity and Access<\/a> to support you during your time at UNT, and we hope to offer you a safe place to heal and grow your support system.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The university has not responded to requests for comment from The Daily Wire.<\/p>\n<p>Both before and after the university statement, Neidert said that she received a slew of violent threats. The Daily Wire reviewed the messages, many of which include curse words and threats of violence.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI believe that this started over the video I posted of the student confronting me in the library because of my flyers, and once students found out what the flyers were for, everything just snowballed from there,\u201d Neidert said. \u201cI also think Greg Abbott\u2019s Executive Order regarding transgender children along with his win in the Republican primary on Tuesday also contributed a lot of the animosity and vitriol of the students\/antifa people who showed up.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf the stuff with Abbott hadn\u2019t just happened, I think there still would have been protestors and outrage but not to this extent.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
