Just once, one of these speakers needs to stand his (or her) ground and continue making the presentation. Deny the “heckler’s veto.” As long as we keep running away, they’ll keep doing it.
They should go down the street to Northfield.
That place is pretty civilized.
So hunt down the assaulters on the teacher and kick out of school all the kids in the auditorium.
The Middlebury administration created the Frankenstein's monster that attacked Murray. It created the environment that allowed this Leftwing lynch mob to develop and feel empowered to violently shut down Murray's lecture. These riots don't spring up out of nothing. The seed were planted over the course of years by these administrations.
the problem is that schools are afraid to use their expulsion policies when it comes to violent liberal student- but let a child chew a poptart into an “L” shape and by golly it’s ‘time to act”
VT should expel EVERY last one of those involved in this incident to send a very loud clear message that hate and violence will NOT be be acceptable anyone! Stop being pansies VT- EXPEL them!
School administrator are weak-kneed cowards. They got their positions through politics, not merit. Not one can stand up to this evil.
“Feral” is a good word for it. Actually, that is a bit mild.
“Rabid” would be more apropos.
There is no free speech in this country. Hasn’t been for a long time.
Expel them all. Every single miscreant who can be identified....
Well, of course not, they will do nothing much about it. Maybe a mild admonition at best.
One of the idiocies of this fiasco is that the prof who was assaulted is a liberal Democrat who in no way associates herself with Murray’s ideas — she was merely asked to to serve as “moderator” and interlocutor to ask him questions, etc. She wasn’t even associated with planning the event — student planners simply thought that she was a fair-minded person to help lead the discussion. Even that turns out to be a crime for these most ILLIBERAL of libtards.
ALL stifling of speech is bad.
Always and in every context, anyplace.
I’ve said it before. The Leftists are creating, partly intentionally, a generation of Red Guards who love the power thrill of righteously enforcing their orthodoxy.
“Of course, speech doesn’t threaten anyone.”
Au contraire.

Whatever Charles Murray was speaking about must have really struck a nerve? The old saying “The Truth Hurts” must be true, else who would give a damn.
I sent a chatty email to the twenty-something seller of a car I bad bought. I said nothing negative, yet he was offended by my writing style. Apparently, one should never use humor for fear “somebody” might be offended. Therefore, he got offended just to make sure I didn’t ever do it in the future. Being offended is all about control. His behavior reminds me of an interview I read of people who went to Htler Youth camp. One incorrect word and they got punished.
I as accepted at Middlebury college and almost went there.Pretty little college in a pretty little Vermont town back then. Famous for their foreign language school where summers went spent speaking nothing but french or german or spanish.
Now, not so much.
Spoiled little brats at Middlebury!
This word gets out to alums and parents and prospectives.
So Rich, you’re fine with it when it happens to people from Brietbart, but not one of your own?
This is what Milo has been showing you morons for years!
Whenever someone appears at a university at the request of that institution to speak and a crowd gets out of hand like this, the police should be called in to arrest the entire bunch of them and they should all be expelled with criminal records.
This is freedom of speech. This is destruction of freedom of speech.
It is the ABSOLUTE certainty that they are GOOD that allows Leftist’s to go to the extremes that they have done all through history. The Left”s dead are a mountain that dwarves the efforts of any other group.
