Columbia-Minutemen fracas from a few weeks ago continues to simmer, as the Minutemen now want to sue the university and members of the Chicano Caucus. The Columbia Spectator reports (on what the Bwog mentioned last week) that the group wants to sue "for discrimination and defamation of character during the Minuteman events and protests at the beginning of this month and in subsequent public interviews." While the suit hasn't been filed just yet, the Minutemen says that political chair of the Chicano Caucus Karina Garvia will be named in it for saying "It was our right and our duty and our obligation to stand up on stage and say, 'This man is a murderer, this man is a racist, and we do not support him,'" during a Democracy Now show. Additonally, Marvin Stewart, who was speaking before Minutemen founder Jim Gilchrist took the stage, apparently filed police reports about belongings "stolen from the stage and that the use of a racial epithet during the protest constituted a hate crime."
