EXCLUSIVE: Violent Student Protesters Shut Down Tomi Lahren Speech at University of New Mexico

Fox News personality Tomi Lahren visited the University of New Mexico in Albuquerque Thursday to speak to the campus Turning Point USA chapter but had to be escorted to safety by New Mexico State Police after a violent mob shoved into the Student Union, past campus police protecting the doors to the auditorium where she was speaking, and nearly into the auditorium itself while chanting, “F**k Tomi Lahren! F**k Turning Point!”

This isn't protesting, it's actively trying to stop people from hearing someone they want to hear speak on political issues. It's Stormtrooper/Red Guard 101, right out of the 1930's Weimar's downfall playbook.

How the Right Stifles Speech With Threats and Violence
The intimidation campaign against me after I appeared on Tucker Carlson's Fox News show is all too common. I kept my college teaching job, but other professors aren't so lucky.

Lisa Durden, an adjunct professor at New Jersey’s Essex County College, appeared on Tucker Carlson’s primetime Fox News show earlier this month to debate the merits of a blacks-only Memorial Day party held by a New York City chapter of Black Lives Matter. Carlson, as he does, provoked Durden. “You’re demented, actually,” he said. “You’re sick, and what you’re saying is disgusting.” Durden, a media personality herself, did not respond in kind. “Boo-hoo,” she said, “you white people are angry because you couldn’t use your ‘white privilege’ card to get invited to the Black Lives Matter all-black Memorial Day celebration.”


Two days later, Essex County College suspended Durden, and last week she was fired. Because of Durden’s appearance, school president Anthony E. Munroe wrote on Friday, “The College was immediately inundated with feedback from students, faculty and prospective students and their families expressing frustration, concern and even fear that the views expressed by a College employee (with influence over students) would negatively impact their experience on the campus…. While the adjunct who expressed her personal views in a very public setting was in no way claiming to represent the views and beliefs of the College, and does not represent the College, her employment with us and potential impact on students required our immediate review into what seemed to have become a very contentious and divisive issue.”

This justification for Durden’s firing, while disappointing, didn’t surprise me. I’m also a college professor, and appeared on Carlson’s show in April to defend my New Republic article about why colleges have a right to reject hateful speakers. While my appearance didn’t generate the same controversy as Durden’s, a wave of people contacted my school, Colby College in Maine, in an attempt to have me fired (they apparently missed the irony of trying to get someone fired for their speech, about speech, because you disagree with that speech). In addition, my colleagues in the English department, plus a few lucky senior administrators, have been hapless recipients of racist and anti-Semitic diatribes, thus burdening our IT staff.

Meanwhile, I received thousands of insults and threats. Beginning mere minutes after my appearance, I was deluged with emails and instant messages calling me a “fucking liberal idiot,” “pussy snowflake,” “ignorant and hypocritical ****,” “fucking Nazi,” and “Jew fag.” Strangers threatened to break my legs, scalp me, and make me “eat a bullet.” One wished, in all-caps, “Hopefully you get robbed and killed by an illegal immigrant that was deported five times and he leaves you to bleed to death slowly so you have time [to] realize how fucking stupid you were all along.” There have also been repeated and likely actionable defamation attempts, which I’m still dealing with. (It’s also worth noting that I’m a straight, white, male, tenure-track professor at a top-tier institution that supports my public engagement, which is to say my experience with strangers eroticizing my slow death has been less traumatic than most professors’. I can only imagine—though I’d rather not—the bile directed privately at Durden.)

Both have the same cause, colleges not having the balls to tell the students and faculty to shut the fuck up.

On the other hand, only my example includes violence, so your tu quo que attempt fails on the merits.

 

[ColonelAngus]

Leftiees love violence from their side.

How about the FBI tracks down those "domestic terrorists"???

I only posted one example.

I can post plenty more of Progressives shutting down group's events via mob violence.

All you can retort with is people being mean on twitter.

You fucking idiot.

You're defending communists.

lol

Good luck with that.

 

[kyzr]

Not a federal crime. Its likely just a local misdemeanor.

You mean like concerned parents at school board meetings?

That was not conservatives that got her fired.

The university only recievef one complaint.

But hey, we got to fabricate stories to make grandma and grandpa republican look dangerous.

 

[kyzr]

Where any charged by federal officers? This is a question not a criticism.

Don't know.
Being investigated/questioned by the FBI for a Federal crime is more than enough abuse, then tell them what they call a lie and go to prison.

 

[BlindBoo]

As a liberal I hope the violent ones were as dumb as the violent Jan 6th dumfucs and got themselves caught on video, in which case they should prosecuted.

 

[Mac1958]

Ideological zealots on the ends of the spectrum specialize in doing stupid, counterproductive things.

 

[kyzr]

I should rephrase, were any of them questioned?

Yes.

FBI Used Terrorism Laws to Investigate 'Dozens' of 'Concerned Parents' Who Attended School Board Meetings

"But FBI whistleblowers told GOP members of the House Judiciary Committee that that’s exactly what Garland did. Indeed, the witnesses say, “dozens” of people were investigated using the Patriot Act counterterrorism tools at the FBI’s disposal."

Yes, it's peaceful. It's just not docile.

They were trying to stop the speech from happening, not protesting it.
