Chaos and Hate at Ann Coulter Speech, student arrested

Then what about the point I made that the only way a riot could possibly have been prevented is by the police moving in and arresting the protester.

If they were moving in for his protection to escort him out, there was no need to arrest him, especially in such a violent manner given he wasn't resisting arrest.

Nor was he inciting the crowd to violence.

Anyway, what are you trying to say about right-wing crowds?

Che, I'm surprised by your statement that fascists disrupt liberal speakers. It is my understanding that liberals don't speak to audiences that include conservatives.

Liberal events don't require sworn statements of loyalty to enter, unlike Presidential rallies. You know that only pro-Bush signs are allowed on any route he takes? If someone shows up with an anti-Bush sign, and they refuse to leave, they are arrested. The right has been really cracking down on free speach in this country, Ned. Watch what you say.

Che, what right did the police have to "escort him out" if the protester had done nothing "illegal?"

When has Franken been funny?

[Ned]

DinoDoc, good question. He has been as offensive, though, to conservative audiences as Coulter has to liberal audiences.

I still would like to know what kind of remark would really get the liberals frothing at the mouth?

[Agathon]

No one cares Ned. Yes the Liberals are unfair to conservatives, just like they are unfair to all the other Nazis.

Frequently, just not when he's being shrill. Lies and the Lying Liars Who Tell them was hysterical, mostly.

The police can do that in order to keep the public peace. Also, considering he was already leaving, the police woldn't have been forcing him to leave.

Good, Agathon. I got you to label conservative as Nazi's.

Now, no more complaints when I suggest that liberals are commies.

Leaving -- running for his life might be a better phrase.

[chequita guevara]

He was walking.

Not only that. There was some thing about obsene gestures as well.

But he was moving towards the back of the room when they nabbed him. His fellow anarchists where there, themselves peacefully employing hand gestures and screaming, peacefully, epithets at Coulter.

I don't know where this "leaving" thing came from, unless he began to run as the cops or fascists (or are they the same?) approached.

Have you not read the articles posted in this thread, Ned?

[Ned]

According to the police report (I provided a link), he ran back to his seat among the wildly screaming anarchists and sat down. At that point, fascists from the front began a counter-riot and began moving to the rear. What happened next is unclear. He could have bolted to the door to escape as the cops or the fascists approached.

you got pwned by teh Boris

Mr fun i dont see it as pwned. I see it as letting it go. An argument about a moron i have no knowledge or cares about,was a waste of my time. I stated what i had to say and thats was it. I didnt say anyone was right or wrong, and that includes all the posters. While i did agree the kid shouldnt have been arrested he should have shown more classs then to lower himself to the likes of this woman.
