The left can't win with logic and reason, so they're going to shout and be disruptive. For now.

Never start a fight. Finish them.

Given time, the violence will erupt from the left. Because they are flailing children.

∆∆∆ This.

Meh.

Ask yourself this. Why don't you ever see this unacceptable nonsense in free states? In particularly states like Kentucky? Why? Allow me to answer that for you. Because they know society is not going to put up with it, and they'll take a beating. In lefty strong holds like Portland, that societal "or else" is no longer present, and this is what you get. And quite frankly, anyone that thinks that the answer is to "take the high road" a little more, deserves just this.

Why don't you ever see the likes of BLM protestors blocking I-64 or I-65 in lefty dominated Louisville? Just like you do in other communist controlled parts of the nation? Because, they know that it won't be tolerated, and they'll more likely than not take an ass kicking.

If you can't or won't see this, I can't explain it to you any clearer to help you understand it. This whole nonsense of claiming that people are a "lefty" or "advocating violence" because they are not going to put up with physical actions by adults that are outside of the societal norms are a large part of the problem in America. We aren't going to "out Class" the other side because they care nothing about class. It is a commodity they care nothing for. With law and order, you have to have order. Protests go on each and every day here in the Commonwealth. People exercise their Rights to free speech every day. Some of it is heated. But, we don't tolerate this kind of crap here. We don't take kindly to menacing, and violence disguised as "free speech".

The police could and should have intervened, no? Disturbing the peace, or what would the charge be?

Free speech is free speech until you're getting in the way of someone elses free speech, right?

Without police intervention, what could people do to remove the guy without themselves being potentially arrested or charged?

Wait til he gets tired then continue the meeting?

Keep your rifles clean

I'm not sure how this is protected by "free speech". If me and my conservative homies reserve/rent/schedule a room to have our meeting and some lefty twits invade it, that's NOT a free speech issue. That's an issue of some assholes intruding into our 2-4pm meeting. They weren't invited and aren't welcome.

Hire Hells Angels to maintain security. If at first it didn't work one must try, try, again.

Legal or otherwise those idiots should have been beaten. Badly.

What is the actual legal recourse here ?
If someone is disrupting a meeting, it seems like they could legally be FORCIBLY removed.

If someone is banging a bell in my face, it would seem that I could legally "defend myself".
I am probably very lucky I haven't faced these situations. What is the legal recourse ?

As he is escorted to a open window...
a line from a Terminator movie:

I let him go.
----------------

I know that is not proper, but sometimes it gets frustrating experiencing over & over the complete disrespect the left has for basic human decency.

I don't like beatings for speaking one's mind. I also see that using one's liberty to seize another's liberty is irresponsible use of liberty. Irresponsible use of liberty must be met with the removal of that liberty even if temporary. What the student did has to be met with the removal of his liberty until he can use it responsibly. Beating the pulp out him, while satisfying, can only become the loss of everyone's liberty by the same means.

I know it is wrong however.... i would have decked the fuck 90 seconds in. so i'm a terrible person. oh, well

I didn't see the leftist exercising free speech. I saw them disrupting a meeting and disturbing the peace.

The left wants to incite something for publicity, so let's give it to them. Just tell the papers that the meeting was for brainstorming ways that young Republicans can support the #metoo movement, but progress was halted due to the disturbance.

The secret to this is inducing them to eat themselves.

Me too. His goal was to be obnoxious and do just that. The police should have escorted him to the front door with the camera rolling for all to see.

We can discuss laws all day, but when they're being completely ignored and not enforced what good are they? We're seeing this increasingly (illegal immigration as one huge and glaring example) and it's affecting and harming the lives of good people and citizens. One could make the rational argument that we're operating WITHOUT the rule of law in many situations. While vigilantism is an arguably poor answer much of the time, what options are people left with when the "authorities" won't or can't protect people and their rights? There is and should be a tipping point.

So has Fox News picked up this story and run with it?? I haven't watched "the news" in over 10 years now, so I honestly don't know.

Horse feathers! Ever get in someone's face in high school and call them something rather inappropriate only to have them open your bottom lip wide or completely impair your vision via a blow to the beak? That was free speech on your part, right? Yet they ended your free speech rights because you were behaving outside accepted social norms (i.e. being an asshole). And if you were like me, you took a life lesson from the experience that's served you well over the years.

Offering a beating to these children is not so much about ending their free speech rights as it is teaching life lessons they missed in their formative years thanks to the everyone gets a trophy crowd. Call it behavioral modification if you will, but this crowd needs to learn...and right now.

Having my ass handed to me a few times in my formative years taught me an important lesson about discretion, boundaries, and when to walk away and mind my own business.

Absolutely, getting your ass kicked as a kid gives you a healthy respect for others.
Get mouthy with older brothers friend, get punched. Learn alternative method to deal politely with others.

Amen, Bigdeal.

I'd like to know this as well. Beyond fat lips, hair pulling, and taking their lunch money, what could the people at the meeting have done, lawfully.

What _should_ the police have done? It seems to me that the police brass, university admin, and probably town, are behind the cops not doing anything.
