Michigan Assistant Attorney General conducts vendetta against 19 year old college student

This story is so bizarre I can't help but wonder where it's going to end up leading.

"University alum Andrew Shirvell has been actively speaking out against Michigan Student Assembly President Chris Armstrong since shortly after his election in March. Shirvell has periodically appeared at various campus events to protest Armstrong's presidency. He also maintains a controversial blog called “Chris Armstrong Watch,” where he criticizes what he calls the MSA president’s “radical homosexual agenda.”

Officials at the Attorney General’s office confirmed that Shirvell works for Cox and that they are aware of his public disapproval of Armstrong, including the blog. Officials also said on Wednesday that they would provide The Michigan Daily with a statement on the issue, but despite several follow-up inquiries over four business days, a statement was never received....
Other blog posts have been entitled “Chris Armstrong: The PRIVILEGED Pervert” and “Chris Armstrong & His Bullhorn: Portrait of a Radical Homosexual Activist at Work.”

You kind of have to read it to believe it.
The Campus paper broke the story

Wow- strike that- you have to read the BLOG he writes! Look at this explosive story that two college kids might be- gasp!- 'Hooking up!"

"Since then, Armstrong has been trying to keep the sexual relationship secret because Raymond is "not out of the closet." But sources differ over whether Raymond is actually homosexual, bi-sexual, or just an outright confused heterosexual. One thing, however, that all sources do agree upon is that Armstrong basically seduced Raymond."

I think we know exactly where this will end up: He'll be outed as a closeted lunatic.

A closeted lunatic with a crush on a college boy!

I honestly can't come up with another explanation.

It's so bizarre- he obviously must realize this will be political suicide but he...just...can't....help....it!

Yeah, the guy is a nutjob in the Phelps vein.


Chris Armstrong, however, is kind of hot. Not too into the twinks but they're awfully cute when they get all upwardly mobile.

AND he throws steaming hot dorm room orgies! Or, you know, maybe just jokes about it on his Facebook page.

Among Shirvill's interests: "Finding The Right Lady"


Of course!

But even given that he's an evangelical nutjob, his focus on this one guy is--even among evang. nj's--a bit odd.

I mean, even Phelps spreads his attention around a bit. This guys, is, to quote Thelma Ritter, like an agent with only one client.

Why is this douche even involved in student politics?

Seriously, grow the f**k and do your big boy job.

Talk about arrested development. Does he still go to frat parties and haze freshmen too?

Freak.

Who apparently loves Tupac Shakur and wants to start a 'Christian Revival' on Facebook.

He has no problem screenshooting the guy's facebook?

That seems kind of illegal...

Oh man! Apparently he took his little homemade sign and joined an ACTUAL FRED PHELPS PROTEST!!!
It gets worse!

How is this clearly unstable person still working?

His favorite movie, per his Facebook page, stars a big old homo.

Again he somehow loves Tupac, Christina Applegate, Mike Huckabee, and Sarah Palin.

From the comment page that Reg linked, seems he had a checkered past at U of M not even including the obvious homophobia:
"Hate to be so late to this, but Andrew Shirvell is one of the principle reasons I refused to back Mike Cox in the race. I knew him back in U of M. That's where he knows Justin Wilson from. He has ALWAYS been this crazy. He actually had an assault conviction back at U of M, and people took out PPOs against him. What you've seen is the tip of the iceberg. My hope is that with Cox's defeat in the primaries Shirvell's career is done. My fear is that he will sign on to another campaign."

I loved Anderson's whole cadence. "On the right is a young man named Chris Armstrong who is the object... of Mr. Shirvell's considerable attention." You know he wanted to say something else.

There really is only one way to sum this up: That bitch is crazy.

Ok, two: That bitch is a big ol' homo.

He looks like a total fool devoting his life to the character assassination of a college kid.

It's absurd, pathological, and not a little bit scary.

I hope Armstrong has a restraining order and sues for libel.

I'm wracking my brain trying to figure out what cartoon this douche reminds me of!!

I think he has a big crush on this kid and has been rejected. Does Glen Close from Fatal Attraction ring any bells?
