Two female students who live-streamed their taunting and name-calling of Border Patrol agents during their visit to a forum at the University of Arizona are being charged with criminal action by campus police.

“I want to update you on developments regarding last week’s incident with the Border Patrol officers on campus and to reaffirm the University of Arizona’s relationship with the leadership and the women and men serving in U.S. Customs and Border Protection,” university President Robert C. Robbins wrote in a statement that was published online March 29.

“The incident between the protesting students and the Criminal Justice club members was a dramatic departure from our expectations of respectful behavior and support for free speech on this campus,” he continued.

Good for the U of Arizona's president. Hopefully, this will start a trend. There's allowing speech and promoting criminal insanity.

Penalty should be 30 days on the border-southern side.

So, speech is good if we agree with it?

They will get a strongly worded letter and then be praised by all the other campus lefties or the entire student body - except for a few hooded and huddled conservatives over in a dark corner.

“So, speech is good if we agree with it?”

An absurd statement prefaced with the word so and appended with a question mark is not a question.

Assimilate and learn the language.

PS: We? Crab lice?

Actually, if it was just taunting in a public area, I don’t see a problem with it.

If it was in a rented spot or a meeting, I do.

I would only punish based on a honor or behavior code expectation, in the first case.

The speech is good if it does not happen in the context of committing civil rights violations against others. The other people there have the right to peaceably assemble and she is violating that right. Watch the video yourself it is clear she is not an innocent party but an active antagonist.

Speech is good if everybody is given a chance to speak it.

These little shits want to interrupt and harass, not engage in any dialogue whatsoever.

It's all their way, or no way.

Stop being obtuse.

Nobody wants to shut them up, even if their crap is not worth listening to.

But nobody wants to hear harassing and asinine bullshit from entitled little turds who think their voice is the only voice to be heard and whose actions are solely intended to keep anyone else from speaking.

I've seen them in action.

If they don't agree with you, they drown you out with foul and obscene shouting and any other kind of noise.

Past time for it to be dealt with.

The Border Patrol were giving a presentation. The students were screaming to prevent them for finishing.

“Pinto said two officers eventually arrived on scene, but their presence only allowed the club’s meeting to continue. The situation remained.

“They weren’t able to talk to [Denisse], but they were able to close the door and have our meeting,” Pinto said. “We were able to finish, but not really. I reached out to club members and asked if they were able to learn anything … they said they weren’t able to.”

So, you do not understand the difference between speech and harassment?
