Time to Revoke "The Heckler's Veto"

Milo Yabadabadoopolis keeps having his events cancelled because the authorities worry about potential violence. Given that a guy was shot at his last event, it is not an unreasonable fear. It’s the extreme version of the heckler’s veto. Instead of shouting down the person on stage, the heckler opens fire on the audience.Playing With Fire | The Z Blog

Your Say

Now that there's an adult in charge, for the first time in at least several decades, maybe the adult children that are running loose all over the place will be held responsible for their words and behavior.

Do you remember the young Mr. Don't Tase Me Bro of 2004? He was not a "heckler", he only kept on talking after candidate John Kerry had dismissed him. The university police had absolutely no compunctions about removing him from the audience, and tasing him when he resisted. Perhaps they could be convinced to show the same enthusiasm for disruptive members of Milo Yiannopoulos' audiences.

If they tazed the disrupters they'd be called racists or misogynists or whatever, and as we all know nobody likes to get their little gurl feelings hurt.

If you can, temporarily install a whiny bitch brain in your skall and suddenly the horrifying world around you makes perfect sense, except for the whole Trump thing.

I like Milo and I love his ability to verbally rip his protestors into shreds. We need more like him.

In re the violent opposition.....I'm old school and I hate violence, but I believe that once they initiate violence, they are fair game for whatever may come and I don't care one way or another, if whatever comes means they die.
