Deranged UT Austin students now harassing classics professor at his home

They're proud of it!   This faculty member's "crime" is his scholarship.  The students should be prosecuted under any applicable criminal statutes, and Professor Hubbard, the victim of this abuse, should bring a civil action against the students (including for defamation:  calling someone a "pedophile" when they are not is per se defamatory, meaning he won't even need to prove damages).   I will be glad to raise money for his legal action if there is one.

(Thanks to Joel Pust for the pointer.)
