We can't applaud the shouting down of opposition people while they are giving a speech.
Far more classier tactics would have been to
- develop a flier and have it on all the chairs before the event started,
- distributed a flier to people entering and leaving the event,
- having a large contigent of CRs holding signs with 'Remember Chappaquiddick' in the back of the auditorium or, if not permitted, outside.
- Bull-horning the senator as he entered and left the building
- Filling the front rows of the audience with CRs wearing T-shirts with the slogan
- Hitting the Senator with related questions if they allowed a Q&A.
Yeah, I guess what the student did was seemingly cool, but he does need to be punished for it.
