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

"Liberal academia hypocracy at its finest!"

"That I should have to state that such acts are unacceptable is itself unacceptable."

"There should be consequences if for no other reason than to help these youth to understand the seriousness of their actions. This is very simply about free speech which is a cherished privilege we have in this country. These immature and silly students do"

"Squash attempts to squash free speech and free assembly. Put these children in their place and discipline them for disorderly conduct."

"I think Columbia University no longer belongs in the United States of America. Maybe better suited to be in Iran or Cuba or Venezuela."

"expell all involved."

"free speech means just that--not just free speech if you agree with it"

"A dusgusting display of bully behavior. So, Columbia, what will it be? More acceptance of violently lunatic behavior or a start toward retrieving your dignity?????"

"Free speech is just that. It is not an option to be regulated by mob rule. The actions of the protest was deplorable, especially in an academic setting where all views and opinions need to be aired and studied."

"As a Columbia alumnus, I am ashamed. My sincerest apology to Mr. Jim Gilchrist. You deserved better. This is still America last time I looked. But for how much longer if fascism is allowed on our campus?"

"Shame on Columbia University. Is this kind of bad behavior what passes as intellectual discourse at Columbia today? Is Columbia's "debating team" taught that screaming at and attacking people you don't agree with is how to win a debate? These kids should "

"These kids don't get it. Someone should take a stand so that they do. Its time for the University to show some backbone."

"i request disciplinary action against the columbia university students who assaulted jim gilchrist. it is a outrage."
