Freedom of Speech? What Freedom of Speech?
..........................................................................................................................
No longer. Now, "safe spaces" protect coddled snowflakes from ever hearing a thought that doesn't exactly fit into their world view - and if someone dare offer such a thought, they protest.
That's what happened Friday night at Claremont McKenna College in California. Pro-law enforcement scholar Heather MacDonald was set to deliver a speech on campus, but an angry mob surrounded the building, "screaming obscenities and banging on windows," HeatStreet reported.
MacDonald, promoting her book, The War on Cops, which focuses on the Black Lives Matter movement, had to abandon her speech and deliver it on livestream and then "flee the University building under the protection of campus security when things got really scary."
Mac Donald’s book, released amidst heightened tensions between the black community and the police, argues that better community policing, and familiarity with neighborhoods could reduce crime. She suggests that law enforcement officials actually believe that “black lives matter” more than activists do, and that the narrative that police are “racist” is making minority communities less safe.
The nuances of her argument, however, fell on deaf ears at liberal Claremont McKenna college, and when the time came for Mac Donald to give her speech, protesters (who included what appear to be middle aged activists alongside college students) ringed the building, chanting a range of slogans including, “From Oakland to Greece, f– the police” and “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free.”
Mac Donald then moved her speech to a livestream, but when the chants turned into threats, and protesters began banging on the windows, campus police had to escort Mac Donald out of the building, escaping through a kitchen and into an unmarked police van outside.
