I'm glad this post has no comments (as of now, anyway) because I imagine everyone reading the linked article, coming back to HN, shrugging and saying to themselves "yep, that's super fucked up on the part of those radical leftists", and realizing that there really isn't a whole lot more to it, and thus that there's just not a whole lot here to discuss.

It sounds like the status quo for Middlebury.

You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy

Hopefully everyone involved in assaulting a professor will be expelled, but I wouldn't hold out much hope, given the way other campus protesters with similar violent behavior, but implicitly endorsed rhetoric, have been treated with kid gloves in the past.

Actually it's very good

What happens when someone assaults a speaker they don't care for in a concealed carry state?

Peacefully protesting is fine, but flagrantly assaulting a speaker in public? You deserve the consequences of your actions.

>You deserve the consequences of your actions.

I wholeheartedly agree in the case of both the speaker and the protestor.

This "peaceful protest only!" is nonsense. No movement in US history gained traction without violence. We only look fondly upon the civil rights movement because we selectively remember the handholding and the "we shall overcome."

For every MLk there's a Malcolm X
