We also had an attempted disruption opening night, when two left-wing protesters rushed the stage and attempted to attack David Horowitz. Fortunately, our very own Jason Apuzzo, plus volunteer Daniel Crandall, Chris Cook, and several others got to them first and dragged them out of the auditorium kicking and screaming. Ironically enough, David Horowitz was speaking about the need for free speeech and academic freedom at the very moment the protesters ran up on the stage shouting “Fascists have no right to speak! You have no right to speak! We don’t want your right wing **** here!” etc. etc. Several other protesters at the back of the auditorium also tried to drown out Horowitz with shouts, but were shouted down by the audience (led by Melrose Larry Green!). A half hour later a carload of more protesters showed up at the front of the Pacific Design Center, but were turned away by security. Many thanks to the West Hollywood Sherrif’s office for their prompt response in escorting these sterling examples of tolerance and free speech advocacy off the PDC property.
The one word that tyrants, and those who seek to become tyrants, do not want to hear is the word "NO."
Even to suggest that a person has the right to say NO is the equivalent of speaking a death sentence to tyrants and wanna-be tyrants.
What are your questions on this block of instruction?
