All too predictable, the nutty professor that wanted to 'chop up' a reporter with a machete was actually a 'victim'. Worse for this attempted murder what charge did she receive from the state?
So you tell me: Is she the victim? ...
The machete-wielding NYC professor who allegedly threatened to "chop up" a New York Post reporter surrendered to police Thursday morning, even though she insists she's the victim and said the entire incident "has taken a toll on my mental health."
Shellyne Rodriguez, 45, turned herself in to police around 7:20 a.m., and she was charged with menacing and harassment, according to the NYPD.
After seeing video of Tuesday's confrontation with The New York Post reporter, Hunter College fired the adjunct professor.
She told ARTnews that the college "capitulated" to "racists, white nationalists, and misogynists."
Rodriguez told ARTnews that Hunter told her to apologize, which she said she did, "Yet before the process could be completed, on May 19, Students for Life circulated a manipulated video of the incident on social media and mobilized their members to attack me."
"For the past two weeks, I have been inundated with vile and hateful emails, texts and voicemails nonstop," she told the outlet. "As much as this incident has stakes for my life, it is ultimately just one part of a broader political struggle taking place across the country.
"Right wing media organizations are weaponizing and sensationalizing this case to further their agenda, and using me as a prism through which to project their attacks on women, trans people, Black people, Latinx people, migrants, and beyond."
During the confrontation with The Post reporter, Rodriguez is seen on video bursting out of her apartment while holding a blade to Fenton's throat.
Meanwhile, Fenton appeared on "Hannity" Tuesday night to talk about the confrontation.
"We just wanted to speak to this woman," Fenton told host Sean Hannity. "We thought we might have a chance given that she's obviously passionate about her beliefs and maybe if we showed up to her door, she'd be willing to grant us an interview."
Fenton told Hannity that he is still processing the incident as he considers pressing charges against Rodriguez.
