When people started tweeting at me about this incident, my first instinct was to question whether they could possibly be characterizing the situation accurately. I don't know why: Between this week's disgrace in Berkeley -- replete with atrocious public statements from various Democratic public officials -- and this mind-bending lowlight from last year's unrest at the University of Missouri, nothing should surprise any of us at this point.
Scroll ahead to roughly the ten-minute mark and watch an "adult" NYU professor berate NYPD officers for not using physical violence against Trump supporter and Milo-esque 'alt-right' figure Gavin McInnes.
Welcome to the insane new "normal," as End of Discussion marauders further lose all semblance of composure in the era of Trump. They don't seem to realize that their pathetic, bullying hysterics helped elevate Trump in the first place, and that their continued beclownment helps discredit his opposition. Good work all around, gang (severe content warning):

"You are (expletives)!" the professor shouted at the New York Police Department (NYPD). "You're protecting the Nazis!" The NYPD had arrived on the scene to prevent violence and escort McInnes out of the building safely.
But the professor seemed to think the cops' job was to shut down a speaker she didn't like—by engaging in explicit violence against him. "You should kick their ass!" the professor declared, referring to McInnes and his entourage. "You should!" Note that the professor—a dead ringer for Melissa Click, by the way—considered violence to be beneath her and her owns students. "These are kids who are trying to learn about humanity!" she said. "They're trying to learn about human rights and against racism and xenophobia, and LGBTQ rights, and you're letting these (expletive) neo-nazis near here! It's not up to these students to kick the ass of a neo-nazi! They don't have to raise their fist! They were taught to be peaceful! (Expletive) you!" So according to the professor, it's college students' job to contemplate humanity and practice tolerance, and it's the cops' job to beat up people with whom the left disagrees.
Snarks Allahpundit, "nothing says “anti-fascism” like demanding that the state physically attack your political opponents." This echoes the point I made yesterday in this post, and on TV. The so-called opponents of fascism often seem awfully enthusiastic about fascism in the name of silencing or brutalizing people with whom they disagree. I don't endorse the Milo/McInnes approach to politics or discourse, but the idea that they're "Nazis" is absurd. And even if they were modern-day Nazis, the First Amendment affords them quite a wide berth to assemble nonviolently and speak their minds -- and the job of the police is to protect that speech, not crack skulls because some dimwit left-wing professor is angry that she can't outsource the desired bloodshed to agents of the State. These people might as well be cutting checks to Trump's re-election campaign. But hey, love trumps hate, etc.
I think we should start referring to them as the “Alt-Wrong”.
Until these people are held accountable in some way they will keep doing this stuff.
Until that happens we should heap as much shame on them as possible.

The more these people are exposed, the more winning we will experince.
What is her name? I heard this so called professor on the radio today. I was certain I was hearing an over-acted parody of a liberal teacher. Not a parody.
She is totally unhinged. Not safe for instructing anybody.
Did you make that one up? Because if so, I will attribute it to you, on my new tagline :)
Police do not protect free speech. Their job is to collect evidence of crimes.
I disagree. They are communist lite, but if they cross to violence - then they are the real deal. 20th Century killers.
“They were taught to be peaceful! (Expletive) you!”
Seems to be a conflict in messaging.
“I think we should start referring to them as the “Alt-Wrong”.”
They need to be made aware of the possibility of “Alt-Delete”
What BS! The man is a stand-up comic, often on Red Eye. Harmless!
Let us make her the face of the Left.

"These are kids who are trying to learn about humanity!" she said. "They're trying to learn about human rights and against racism and xenophobia, and LGBTQ rights, and you're letting these f**king neo-nazis near here! It's not up to these students to kick the ass of a neo-nazi! They don't have to raise their fist! They were taught to be peaceful! F**k you!"
They're learning plenty about humanity and human rights from you and your big mouth, lady. Go home and take your meds.
Melissa Glick 2.0 NOW ON STEROIDS!!!
Perfect!
Given the response/conduct of police at places like San Jose, Chicago and Berkley...I can pretty much see why the professor assumed they would.
