When Batie-Smose was informed that the police determined that the incident was an act of vandalism due to the fact that the weapon used was, she described the decision as “mad”.
“So, because it might not be a firearm that it is just considered vandalism even if it can harm you?” Batie-Smose said. “It’s a bit crazy for me. Anyway, if an object to this strength comes at your head, you will be injured. It’s crazy for me.
“I don’t know how it is demoted to vandalism.”
Batie-SMOOSE said that she had previously received hostile emails on her position on Fleming and trans inclusion in female sports. She also claimed to have had altercations in person with individuals in Santa Cruz and Scotts Valley who did not agree with her position.
