Comey attended knowing full well some people were not going to want to hear what he said. Your logic is amazingly faulty.I missed the part where Comey was forced to attend. Seems to me both parties were invited. Thats what a convocation means.Of course its disruptive. That was the intention. No one stopped him from voicing his opinion. They just didnt want to hear it. I'm pretty sure if you showed up at a BLM event doing that it wouldnt be for long The same thing applies to those that did want to hear him. They should have found a way to make the disrupters stop.
I missed the part where the students were forced to attend. Did they attend willingly? Either way there are acceptable forms to protest - heckling a speaker is not one of them.
However, if a heckler did attend a BLM rally with the intent of being vocally disruptive - you don't have to listen to him, right?
You can appeal to the police to remove him for causing a disturbance but if you lay hands on him you might find yourself on the wrong side of the bars, as you should.
A false dichotomy. The students attended knowing full well who the speaker was going to be - unless you're saying he was a surprise guest speaker? Apparently he is going to continue being involved with Howard University - even sponsoring a scholarship. Maybe the hecklers aren't interested in hearing about that either.
