Chaos and Hate at Ann Coulter Speech, student arrested

[Mrs. Tuberski]

I dont know this chick from adam, the student was vulgasr and rude in an enviroment that was a profesionasl setting. I alreasdy said he shouldnt have been wrestled to the ground but i dont agree with what his mouth shot off

[Guynemer]

What he said is no more offensive than some of the things that Ann herself has said; in fact, it was far less offensive than many of Ann's Greatest Hits.

So the police arrest someone who is exercising his First Ammendment rights, and we should feel sorry for Coulter?

Since when was disagreeing with Coulter a crime?

There is always some kind of grossly unfair, hypocritical, double standard floating around here on Apolyton.

I would pay good money to see, in person, the look on Judge Scalia's face if someone publically asked him that..

You mean you didn't know? I thought you meant this public shaming.

This is the latest evil liberal tactic – accusing the righteous of foul buggery.

[Pekka]

So, we don't have to agree with what he says. We can be offended by it. I would say throwing him out of the building would been just fine and suitable.

This... is overkill.

[Mrs. Tuberski]

if ur invited to a public speaking is it ok for it to turn into a free for all were folks just start cussing and offneding the folks that have no say in the matter or do u choose to remove on person for making an ass out of himself and what he stands for. gee i think it sems to me you remove the one person and move on with the talk... He has a right to be heard but not in a rude and cruse manner

It's called university.

profesionasl setting

A uni isn't quite a professional setting. Uni students just love to heckle

[Pekka]

Yes, you remove those people who try to ruin it. You throw them out. Simple as that.

[Mrs. Tuberski]

im sorry the colleges u went to must be lot different then the ones i went to
People at a talk asked a many responsiable comments as to this Questions were asked in a respectful manner

[Pekka]

AC is provocative figure, surprise she gets provocative statements. She brought this upon herself. Don't make a drama out of it, it was just little documentary.

[Mrs. Tuberski]

I already said i dont know her stance on anything. I dont care what she spouts as long as she remains professional, i dont have to agree with her but to lower yourself and spout profanity like that in a public setting was uncalled for.

[MrFun]

Even if the student's behavior was not appropriate, I do not think it called for an arrest.

We allow Ku Klux Klan rallies under the 1st Amendment, but we arrest a student for profanity??

[Pekka]

"I dont care what she spouts as long as she remains professional"

So you do care

Uncalled for? Your opinion. Offense you should be arrested for? Absolutely not. What is this? United Apolyton of the Offended? Hey I get offended all the time by what some jerks say. I don't start crying about it and having cops coming to arrest people. I just kick their torsos in.

You forget one thing, this is on TV, so of course you aren't protected by the 1st amendment.
