In September 2020 Erik Loomis, a professor at the University of Rhode Island, justified murdering right-wing activists as "nothing wrong" "from a moral perspective" in a comment on his own blog post.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.lawyersgunsmoneyblog.com/2020/09/why-was-michael-reinoehl-killed|title=WHY WAS MICHAEL REINOEHL KILLED?|work=Lawyers, Guns and Money}}</ref> The professor has a history of threatening comments toward right-wingers,<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.foxnews.com/us/rhode-island-professor-killing-portland-activist-ok-moral-perspective-killed-fascist|title=Rhode Island professor says killing by Portland activist OK from 'moral' perspective: 'He killed a fascist'|work=Fox News}}</ref> and another contributor to the blog wrote on September 8, 2020 that "American universities are generally hostile to conservative views, because conservative views are generally wrong" and that "a liberal university can’t actually “welcome”...religious fundamentalists into its interpretive community".<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.lawyersgunsmoneyblog.com/2020/09/politics-and-the-university|title=POLITICS AND THE UNIVERSITY|work=Lawyers, Guns and Money}}</ref>

Afterward Loomis wrote in another blog post, "I stand behind every word of what I said." He wrote that "I always wondered when Fox News would come after me." He followed this with an unsubstantiated claim that "armed fascist groups [are] taking over our nation."<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.lawyersgunsmoneyblog.com/2020/09/in-america-dreams-can-come-true|title=IN AMERICA, DREAMS CAN COME TRUE|work=Lawyers, Guns and Money}}</ref>
