It really irks me that hate speech law prosecution is more focused on who got offended rather than what was actually said.
I am still in shock that a mob of people in our western liberal society have the power to stop anyone from speaking about anything, especially before she actually said anything. This mob mentality is why I personally believe democracy is the single worst form of government. Rule by dummies! (Funny what 4 years of political science will do to a mans faith in suffrage).
Buy a ticket, and ask a mature, intelligent question like a grown up if you don't agree with her. These people just come accross as idiots to me, no different than any other group of rose colored glasses wearing youth protestors who are more interested in establishing their own individuality than furthering any sort of cause.
We live in a sad world. Attention where it is unnecessary, and apathy where it really matters.

Democracy will degenerate into ochlocracy, that's just the nature of the beast. And I agree, liberal campuses (along with liberal media) are speeding up the process.
