Authoritarianism almost always arises when you give a group of people power and no oversight. And always when the people happen to be dumb-ass college students.

The power these people were given was the power to shout "raaaaaacist!" and destroy the lives of whoever they shouted it at. A bit like when the Inquisition was given the power to brand people as heretics, or any number of sever police forces given the power to brand people enemies of the state/revolution.

These people have no sense of right or wrong, only the thrill of their own power. It's like a Stanford Prison Experiment run out in the open.
