Left-wing organizers appear to have posted flyers advertising their club at Georgetown University with the same slogans found on bullet casings near where Charlie Kirk was murdered.
The John Brown Gun Club reportedly posted bright red flyers around campus recruiting students with the phrase, “Hey, fascist! Catch!” in bold text. The flyer also brags that the John Brown Gun Club is “the only political group that celebrates when Nazis die,” likely referencing Kirk’s horrific assassination on September 10.
‘There are students at this campus who want to see conservatives dead.’
Shae McInnis, a sophomore at Georgetown University who also serves as the treasurer of the College Republicans Club on campus, found the posters Wednesday morning.
“I read this immediately as a threat, not only for me but for everyone on this campus,” McInnis told Fox News Digital. “Every conservative, everyone who just does not subscribe to the prevailing leftist orthodoxy, this is a direct threat against them.”

“It means that there are students at this campus who want to see conservatives dead rather than engaging with their ideas, rather than facilitating a political discourse,” McInnis added.
The John Brown Gun Club is a leftist group that originally “sought to militarize the white working class and spur it toward a social-justice revolution,” according to the Counter Extremism Project. Although the club claims to simply act as armed security at protests, local chapters have often been associated with other left-wing militant groups like Antifa and have been involved in violent attacks.
Most notably, one chapter member, Willem van Spronsen, was killed by law enforcement in 2019 after he tried to blow up an ICE detention center using a propane tank and Molotov cocktails at the facility.

Since the flyers were found on campus, a spokesperson for Georgetown University said they have been removed and that the incident is being investigated.
“Georgetown University has no tolerance for calls for violence or threats to the university,” the spokesperson said. “The flyers have been removed and the university is investigating this incident and working to ensure the safety of our community.”
Georgetown did not respond to a request for further comment by Blaze News.
