A tweet posted by a St. John’s University student threatening to “smash” a fellow student’s laptop because it is adorned with a Donald Trump sticker has created an uproar on social media, with allegations about what happened being thrown around by both sides.
Trump supporters quickly came to the defense of the female student pictured in the Twitter photo, Brianna Algazali, attacking the poster, Clifford Durand, who received support from his followers and others.
Durand posted the tweet using the name “Ock Papi”, a screenshot of which you can see above, on Wednesday, writing “7000 retweets and I’ll smash this b*tch’s computer.” His account, @ockisdead, has since been suspended by Twitter.
Neither student responded to requests for comment from Heavy.com.

According to posts on social media, Clifford Durand, the student who initially posted the photo, was interviewed by campus public safety.
The above video was posted showing Durand leaving the public safety office. It is not known if Brianna Algazali was also interviewed.
Several reviews have been left on the St. John’s Facebook page, calling for Durand to be punished.
“A young lady today was threatened and harassed by black lives matter activists on your campus, as well as on twitter for her political views. I believe this is highly unacceptable, disturbing, and hopefully not encouraged or enabled by St. Johns University. Appropriate action must be taken to protect the rights and safety of this young woman,” wrote Shaun Shook.
Another person, Joseph George, wrote “We’re supposed to have freedom of speech in this country. That being said, today a male assaulted a young woman just because she had a Donald Trump sticker on her laptop and SJU let him walk without any repercussion. He and his friends then celebrated the whole event on social media. Would not recommend any parent sending their child to this school.”
3. The University Responded on Twitter, Saying ‘We Hear Your Concerns’ & ‘Safety Is Our Top Priority’
While the university has not directly commented on the incident or whether the students could face disciplinary action, they posted on Twitter after receiving several messages about it.
“Thank you everyone who reported the incident to us. This type of behavior will not be tolerated. Public Safety is handling the situation,” the university said.
“We hear your concerns. Safety is our top priority. Any student in violation of our Code of Conduct is subject to our conduct process,” it said in a second tweet.

NY DAILY NEWS IS LYING ON ME
affirmative action at work
yeah threatening property destruction and intimidating her…yep initiation of violence in my book… you hear that IRS?
He punched her in the neck you idiot.
Hmmm… So now he punched her. Could have swore I read that he pushed her.
Pretty sure if he had actually “punched” her, even AFTER she initiated the altercation by throwing that tea at him, he would have been arrested… Not defending either one of them, but don’t exaggerate to make a point. BOTH of them were in the wrong.
She was in the wrong for minding her own business and sitting in class when that heathen called her a b*tch on Twitter and posted a picture of her? That’s some amazing Leftist Logic you got there!
No, she was in the wrong for throwing her drink. This is immensely clear to everyone else. He was obviously in the wrong for being violent regardless of what it was in response to, and more so because in expressed intent to be violent in advance, too.
Doesn’t make her any less in the wrong for throwing her drink though.
cross hairs are on him now
That is one ugly negro, on the inside and outside.
They all look alike.
He looks like a dumbass.
He walks and talks like one too.
Any proof that account is fake?
fake account only has the 2 published photos from the press
That video…. these people are in college… my lord..
ni@@ers will be ni@@ers no matter where they are at.
Think of a white man calling a black woman the B word.
I don’t believe for a second that she threw coffee at him. She doesn’t have coffee in the picture that HE tweeted, and the only witnesses were his friends (who you can see goofing off with him and not treating the situation seriously in the video above). Meanwhile he ADMITS that he hit her.
I assume you missed the part where this happened at a later time?
What do you think would happen if a white man threatened to smash a black girls computer for having an Obama sticker on it. The punching here, then grabbing her around the throat when confronted?
Do you think it would be a non-story? Do you thing the school would just be cool with it and not discipline the white guy… No, towns would burn.
Based on the info from this article Durand is entitled to his free speech. Although it may make him an idiot to even start such a hashtag threatning to smash Algazali”s laptop, he ultimately didn’t. However Algazali doesn’t have any right to throw coffee at anyone. Unless she was defending herself and by accounts she wasn’t, she was the one to first commit assault by throwing the coffee and Durand.
The Supreme Court has also recognized that the government may prohibit some speech that may cause a breach of the peace or cause violence.
Therefore, him saying he was going to destroy her property once he got 7000 retweets makes claims of him using freedom of speech irrelevant.
You mean like the racist white man in Texas that said he is going to shoot BLM protesters, on a Youtube video with over 600K views and repost, and didn’t get charged because he was exercising his freedom of speech? I get it… :-)
Yeah, and it’s his right to take the girl’s picture without her knowledge and post it online while calling her a bitch? I think you see white racism everywhere you look.
Didn’t I see this guy on Planet of the Apes as an extra?
Oohh!! Bada-Bing! (cymbal crash)
That was….harsh
She has the right to campaign for whomever she chooses. Freedom of Speech. If he had any sense, he could’ve sparked up a conversation to see why she chose Trump. You’re in college dumb @#…act like it!
The mandatory neutering of newborn buck negro is the only hope left for this country!
^^^^^^^^^
holy shit he looks like he was literally taken from the jungles of darkest africa
This “HEAVY” website is another far left liberal website. It intentionally misleads with chronological headlines which do NOT represent the instigating facts. This black guy made a violent threat on Twitter against this girl and asked that it go viral. He put this girl’s life in danger by posting her photo all over campus, the city and country. It was an attack ad, which blacks love to do. They usually publish your address, whether the wrong or right address makes no difference. She verbally confronts the son of Obama. He GRABS her throat and shoves her against the wall. His friend grabs him and pulls him away. She defends herself by throwing her cooled coffee at him. He moves against her again, but his friend grabs him and gets him to leave. St Johns said they have NO TOLERANCE, even says so in their tweet… except for blacks. This guy got off with a warning. Now he put this woman’s life in danger even further. St Johns encourages blacks to attack and put assassination hits on whomever they please.
He cannot write a proper sentence, or anyone else who follows him. There are hundreds of students who could take his place.
sounds like another abusive thug. how did this guy get into college again?
Why with our tax money of course, it’s called negro privilege.
Acting like a child over a freaking sticker? Are you kidding me? I hope gets expelled he obviously has some serious issues. Taking picture people and threatening to smash their laptop than attacking women. Smh, he just a racist bigot.
