Washington Examiner ^ | Oct. 7, 2017

A campus Black Lives Matter protest against an American Civil Liberties Union speaker has provoked an internal debate over free speech on the Left.

Students shouted down an ACLU leader visiting the College of William and Mary in Virginia last week, preventing a discussion about free speech by chanting "liberalism is white supremacy" and "ACLU, you protect Hitler too!" for a full hour.

Outrage spread as video of the college Black Lives Matter chapter's disruption circulated among shocked scholars, progressive leaders, and alumni.

Stop reporting on the BLM. Arrest them and fine them heavily for all harrassments of people attending any venue but particularly the venues of free speech.

Those BLMERS are getting much too big for their britches.

You reap what you sow, commies.

Too freakin’ funny. The irony is simply lost of the Lefties who are “shocked” and complaining.

This, on the heels of the “Dreamers” shouting down Nancy Pelousy, must have the Leftists in an absolute panty-twist. “Don’t they KNOW what how much we’re DOING for them?!?!” they must cry out loud, while quietly mumbling “the dirty sh**s.”

Leftists are utopians: They are idealists of the most deranged kind.

In this profoundly fallen world, they literally can never be satisfied with less than their ideal; thus they inevitably attack their own who fail to measure up to an impossible standard.

BLM is a racist, low IQ, terror organization.

My point is that it can be alternatively described (in a sense of Union with it being a Right) such that the NRA (among others) is a Civil Rights Organization..

Black Ideology (black fascism) beats emotional liberalism. Just like when Islam will turn on the moronic tools of liberalism.
