It's a real shame some people on this board support and sympathize with violence to get these events shut down. Free speech does not entitle you to speak to an auditorium of people. That is something we would call a privilege. No, this certainly falls under freedom of speech. Berkeley is a public university that receives public funds, and has student organizations that invite speakers such as Shapiro to come and speak. They have speakers from the left speak all of the time (shocking: there aren't violent conservatives stopping them from speaking) When Antifa and other leftists produce violence and obstruct people from entering venues and create an unsafe environment, it is obstructing freedom of speech. Um no. Again, free speech does not entitle you to speak to a group of people in an auditorium. A speaker getting shut down due to protests also attracts media attention. When Milo got blocked from speaking his book sales went up. Students attempting to shut these speakers down tend to cause an ironic effect where they increase the ability of a speaker to reach a bigger audience with their ideas sometimes in written form. Basically, these protests only end up giving the speakers more attention regardless of the protestors intentions. --- just tell them all your base doesn't belong to us because we were getting stoned...they'll understand-Ken156 <cite>TommyG663513 posted [p:886684945] in LIVE NOW: ...
