A blogging community that believes rape should be legal arranged to have an international meetup day in various cities across the world, including Orlando.
Return of Kings, a neomasculine blog started by Roosh Valizadeh, is a community of men who hold radical beliefs on masculinity including the perception that rape should be legalized.
On Jan. 16, Valizadeh created a blog post announcing that on Feb 6 at 8 p.m. there will be an international meetup that will take place in 43 different countries across the world. One of the meetup locations included the Red Tent Temple at Lake Eola.
As of tonight, Valizadeh announced that due to ‘privacy concerns’ for the members that plan on meeting, the international meetup has been canceled and the possible locations have been scrubbed.
Despite this, the meetings will may still be occurring across the globe, however, all locations and times are private and individuals looking to join have to create a “Disqus Proof” account where they can then receive the location.
According a report by WFTV channel 9, Orlando police have no plans on taking action to stop the meeting from occurring.
“Their views are protected by the First Amendment and as with all First Amendment activity we ensure the safety of the public while protecting the rights of all. No we do not believe certain groups are at risk,” said Orlando Police in the report from WFTV.
While the new location has not yet been confirmed to be in Lake Eola, UCF students and families should be aware of the possibility of this rape-promoting-group gathering in the Orlando area.
