This is exactly why no one took all the crying by college students this year and last year over their free speech seriously

You can’t seriously expect free speech to be respected in the same places where you helped create an anti free speech atmosphere can you? Lmao, the state of American academia. Such a joke. Our best and brightest my ass.

These people are animals. They're modern Red Guard. They need to be stamped out.

I find it amusing how they'll simultaneously hold the position of "McCarthyism lol" and "teh notsees are everywhere." These people are living out their very own red scare that puts everyone who even slightly disagrees with their violent tactics in the "notsee" column so that a mythical enemy never runs out of supply.

Utterly shameful. Assaulting a woman because they don't agree with her. And I'm supposed to believe these people are on my side? That they're the ones looking out for women?

It is so hard. I am 100 percent peace -- but I've also been to a bunch of protests and opposition MAGA alt-right types insist on being right in our space and faces like this. Usually, with gigantic flags, out numbered 10 to 1 at least. It is so fucking obnoxious and agitating.

She shouldn't have been punched, but I see her as the agressor.

The mental gymnastics from this person is beyond impressive and kind of frightening they don't see the irony in their statement since it's literally their supposed real-life experience with the roles flipped.

I've never given a dime to them, my alma mater, and I'm embarrassed every time they're in the news
