College student dumps drinks on Lakers fans who sat for national anthem. Now her school is involved. – By Sarah Taylor (theblaze.com) / Oct 9 2017

Two female California Baptist University students threw a soda on and cursed at two men who did not stand for the playing of the national anthem at a recent L.A. Lakers game.

The incident, which occurred minutes before a preseason game at Citizens Business Bank Arena in Ontario, California, last week, was caught on video.

What happened?
One of the women — identified as Haley Perea — was filmed by her female companion — identified as Savannah Sugg — tossing a drink on the fans.

“Excuse me, this is for the national anthem you pieces of s**t, you f***ers!” Perea yelled.

After she dumped the drink on the fans, Sugg yelled, “Yeah!”

Sugg later shared the video to Twitter and captioned it, “‘Take a kneel [sic] for the land of the slaves.’ Disrespect our flag and our country and that’s how we’ll react.”

After much uproar over the posting, both Sugg and Perea deleted their social media accounts.

What was the response?
Many social media users have sent messages to California Baptist University in protest of the girls’ actions, calling their actions “racist.”

A statement from California Baptist University, issued on Sunday, read:

On Wednesday, October 4, 2017, an incident occurred at a pre-season NBA basketball game at the Ontario Citizens Business Bank Arena. While this was not an event affiliated with California Baptist University, two current CBU students were involved.

On Thursday morning, October 5, 2017, CBU learned of this incident and initiated an investigation and plans to take appropriate action. CBU does not condone or support the behavior depicted in the recording of the incident.

CBU takes this matter very seriously and is cooperating with law enforcement and arena management.

PB/TK – When posting in haste of an emotional response, proofreading is a must; ‘Take a kneel [sic] for the land of the slaves.’ is so misleading. However this will be a copycat action with many arms flailing in response.
