I don't understand some people's view of "freedom of speech." It is evident to me that people who publicly violate the law during peaceful, political discourse are met with praise rather than scorn.
I'd like to live in a place where, if I'm disappointed with my government, I can freely question my leaders in a public forum without being silenced by other attendees. I want a place that can use legal precedent to remove those who violently infringe upon my freedom. Also, if a person violently resists, my law enforcement has an effective, non-lethal response.
Luckily, I live in a place like that at UF. It's nice to know that if someone like Andrew Meyer keeps an entire room full of people from freely discussing their political views, he can be removed. Maybe now our community is free to ask "the hard questions" without such unlawful interruption.
