In terms of violence, I have seen 2 or 3 of these events and the only violence I saw was when pro abortionists attacked and destroyed the pro life material. They don't have to agree, but why can't they let someone else have a different opinion?

According to other posters in this thread, these people are promoting "their side of the issue" by harassing passersby and provoking confrontations with total strangers.
The University said in its press release that this group had contacted the school about the potential for violence. In other words, they said "we are going to be doing things on campus that might make people violent towards us".
Be honest. If PETA was doing all of the above, would you call it a free speech issue?
