JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. – A Washington County judge on Monday authorized additional charges against a student who allegedly donned an ape mask and dangled bananas at students during a Black Lives Matter protest in September.

Tristan Rettke was charged with civil rights violations for his actions.

Former East Tennessee State University student Tristan Rettke, 18, was charged with a civil rights violation after he attended a Sept. 28 Black Lives Matter protest at ETSU’s “free speech zone” in Borchuck Plaza while wearing an ape mask and carrying bananas tied to a rope. Rettke also allegedly displayed a burlap sack emblazoned with the Confederate flag to provoke the protestors, WCYB reports.

At Rettke’s preliminary hearing in Washington County General Sessions Court on Monday, Assistant District Attorney Will Monk asked Judge Robert Lincoln to add two more charges against the student: disorderly conduct and inciting a riot, according to the Johnson City Press.

He deserves it..what if stuff went left and some innocent person was injured due to his taunting that resulted in a violent response...very disrespectful.

No it's potentially inciting a riot.

About as smart as holding certain drawing contests..worse maybe.

How about the rope he was carrying? Don't forget to mention the rope with a noose at the end that the pos was carrying.

But yelling "Burn this mother f@%^*r down" to a crowd of people who have already shown they were not opposed to acts of violence is not.

Ridiculous.

This man clearly identifies as a Gorilla.

This is horrible that he can not express his true inner self without being called a racist.

People who identify themselves with other species have rights too you know!!!

This must stop immediately or I will have to go to my safe room and color for a while.

Hopefully soon this Black Lives Matter Terrorist Organisation will be dealt with.

There are no protests, just riots and violence causing terror to affect political change, ergo, terrorist organisation.

Did this tool have any violence befall him? was there violence at this protest?

I don't think a riot was started. This seems like freedom of speech. Would I do that in my mid 40's nope.

Seems like a lot of people want "Freedom from speech".

So is burning a flag in certain areas of the country.

Not that I agree with what this dumbass did but it's kinda in the same vein as the flag burning crap. Freedom and all.

look to your right..if they are triggered it is free speech

now look to your left...if they are triggered it is hate speech.

easy peasy

I'm not racist, but........ I do find this story to be quite funny, and quite sad all at the same time.

I think this man will walk on all charges. Unless he made direct threats that can be proven, and since no violence occurred as a result, he will walk on all charges.

No, that is also potentially inciting a riot and should be dealt with in a similar fashion.

BLM is a domestic terrorist organization created and funded by the thug George Soros and condoned by obama,hilliary and the rest of the seditionists.They don't have rights and will hopefully be dealt with shortly.

It is appalling, but should be allowed. This sets a dangerous precedence.
