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 commendably tried to do the right thing

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!

By not expelling these students, VT is allowing the inmates to run the asylum-

I’ll bet there are tons of video out there. But they aren’t.

Gee.

I wonder why not?

Then these colleges deserve what they get. I wish we could bring back the nuns of the 1950s - they’d straighten out this mess in ten minutes.

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.

In 1962, there was an infamous and violent riot against de-segregation at the University of Mississippi. Two people were killed in the riot. 55 years from then we have these new “anti-fascists” that use the same tactics as did the racist protestors back then. They are of similar “DNA” sotospeak. #SadRustyIrony

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.

________________________

The concept of ‘hate’ should be removed from the discussion altogether, as they think they’re fighting hate. Speech is not hate, & the only response to ‘bad speech’ is good speech. An idea these snowflakes have never been taught.

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.
