Request for disciplinary action against the Columbia University students who assaulted Jim Gilchrist

"This incident displays how poorly organized these events are at Columbia. Speakers should be protected from assault, regardless. Shameful."

"I am Hispanic and support free speech"

"CC 89"

"Freedom is not exclusive to those with popular or "correct" opinions"

"Free speech means allowing those with whom you disagree to speak. You may make your own opinions known, but if you disrupt a speaker or rush the stage, you become the fascists you profess to fight against."

"I always thought that freedom of speech was meant for everyone. By shouting down Mr. Gilcrest, these "students" (thugs) have proved that they are not mature enough to attend a university. Send them back to pre school to learn some manners, and the meaning"

"Maybe the University should relocate to 1930's appeasement-era Europe. That is where we are again!"

"Expel these "students" who don;t know free speech from fascim"

"This is ridiculous. Imagine them storming the stage to throw off a 'black' speaker or a 'latino' or a 'womens rights' speaker - Their behavior should not be tolerated."

"What these students did under the cloak of free speech, was to not only embarrass themselves and their parents, but also Columbia University. Our country deserves better than this! Please expel each and every one of them for being such a disgrace to our n"

"Punishing these student thugs is the right thing to do because in the real world there are consequences to consider for our actions. Let their activism cost them something. The price of their freedom was not cheap and it was paid for by people like Jim Gl"

"free speech is for EVERYONE, and sovereignty is not racism."

"When they have no argument they resort to violence"
