Thousands raised for student's legal defense after slurs at Portnoy

A Mississippi student, Patrick McClintock, has raised over $37,000 for his legal defense after being arrested for disturbing the peace following an incident in which he shouted antisemitic slurs and tossed coins at Barstool founder Dave Portnoy. The fundraiser, hosted on GiveSendGo, claims McClintock is a victim of a double standard regarding free speech, while many supporters have shared troubling rhetoric. University officials and advocacy groups have condemned the incident, emphasizing that such actions do not reflect community values and calling for equal consequences for hate speech. Dave Portnoy, who has previously been targeted with antisemitic abuse, criticized the rise in antisemitism and called for greater accountability.
