More Free Speech Follies @ G-Town!

This just in...
It would appear that suppressing free speech is happening at Georgetown University. Chris Simcox from the Minutemen was invited to speak at their campus. After about 10 minutes into his speech, someone turned on the fire alarm.

Of course there were protestors outside the event, and they all cheered when the fire alarm went off.

Chris Simcox is the head of the Minutemen Civil Defense Corps, which has engaged in civilian patrols of the US border with Mexico.

Georgetown student group: GU Students United Against Racism, Hate and Violence says while it recognises Simcox's right to free speech, he shouldn't be on their campus.

Hmm, kinda defeats the purpose of having the right to speak your mind.

Chris Simcox from the Minutemen was invited to speak at Georgetown and his speech was cut short (he was about 10 minutes into it) when someone turned on the fire alarm. Of course there were nuts protesting outside as well, shouting and cheering, and when the fire alarm went off, they all cheered. I'm meeting with students to find out exactly what happened. It's just another Columbia U, but this time pulling the fire alarm was the tactic rather than actual physical violence. Insane. I will keep you posted.
Keep swinging lefties, eventually us dummies will "get" how correct you are in every way.
