West out with our police escort as hundreds of protesters around us were screaming at us, and then I was quickly separated from the police as they protecting\u00a0Col. West, and the protesters came between me and them, which is when I decided I was just going to turn and walk peacefully back to my car,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd then I realized that I was the target for these protesters, and about 200 of my fellow students started hunting me down on campus, started chasing me, screaming, \u2018Go get her, go get her, go capture her, get the girl in the red dress,&#8217;\u201d the student added.<\/p>\n<p>At that point,\u00a0Purcell darted away, and managed to turn a corner and hide in a bathroom stall while the protesters continued their search for her, the student said.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B3\" class=\"a8d adSo\"><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cThankfully they were just a few seconds behind, and while I was in the bathroom I could hear them screaming, \u2018Where is she? We need to find her,\u2019 and I called 911,\u201d\u00a0Purcell said.<\/p>\n<p>The student added that not all of her fellow event co-hosts made it out of the incident unscathed.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"D-ROS-B2\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cWhile this was all happening, the mob continued to chase other members of our club, Young Americans for Freedom,\u201d she said. \u201cThey physically assaulted one of our e-board members. They kicked him, they punched him.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe were trying to bring a black voice to campus to talk about these issues of racism and American\u00a0exceptionalism, and while they were screaming that we were trying to silence black voices, we were actually trying to bring this conversation to campus,\u201d\u00a0Purcell said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe had an open Q&#038;A during the event, but instead of asking peaceful questions, they decided to resort to violence,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B4\" class=\"a8d adSo\"><\/figure>\n<p>Purcell also mentioned that she was \u201cafraid for my life,\u201d while trying to evade the woke mob.<\/p>\n<p>The student also pointed out that West\u2019s message at the event \u201cfundamentally challenged\u201d the woke mob\u2019s worldview.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t think they liked\u00a0Col. West\u2019s message that he did experience racism, he grew up in 1960s, 1970s in the south, but he overcame that, and he decided not be a victim; not to look at himself as a victim, and that America gave him that equality of opportunity that many other countries don\u2019t,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think people like to see themselves as the victim, and his message fundamentally challenged that,\u201d the student added.<\/p>\n<p><em>You can follow Alana\u00a0Mastrangelo on\u00a0<a class=\"x5l\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/ARmastrangelo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener external\">Facebook<\/a>\u00a0and Twitter at\u00a0<a class=\"x5l\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ARmastrangelo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener external\">@ARmastrangelo<\/a>, and on\u00a0<a class=\"x5l\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/alanamastrangelo\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener external\">Instagram<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A University of Buffalo student described the moment she was \u201chunted down\u201d by a woke mob of students screaming \u201cno justice, no peace\u201d because she invited Lt.
