A student group requested him. Others prevented lawful assembly and free speech.

the student group can still listen to him. He has not been silenced by the govt. His rights are in tact.

I think you're the only person thinking reasonably in this whole thread.

The protesters were RIGHT to shut down a Trumpian hate monger. People like you are the reason why your country now has Trump.
