DENVER The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill has launched an investigation into a rowdy student protest that prevented former Republican Rep. Tom Tancredo of Colorado, an outspoken opponent of illegal immigration, from delivering a speech Tuesday night on campus.
University Chancellor Holden Thorp said the investigation by the school's Department of Public Safety could result in criminal charges. The Division of Student Affairs is also probing the incident, he said, and that students could face Honor Court proceedings as a result

They will find the guy who videotaped the thugs and throw him in jail. Plus, they will take away his basketball tickets.
Privileged white youths are bad but privileged black, Asian or Hispanic are okay?
It seems to be okay to make negative comments about white folks.
The leftist version of Free Speech: speak your mind, but only if you agree with us.
That’s not what the poster alluded to. Priviledge white youth are brainwashed into causes they know nothing about.
Don’t hold your breath!
Students who were deprived of their First Amendment rights to hear a speaker should file deprivation of civil liberties suits against the “protesters” and UNC for not clearing the room to allowing Tancredo to speak.
If a window was indeed intentionally broken, pepper spray and tasers were certainly justified. Broken glass is a danger to bystanders.
It will be curious if this is just an indictment of the outrageous behavior of some of these leftist students and their faculty. Or, if campus police are also disciplined in any way.
Lol, LJ I think you are trying to make a mountain out of a mole-hill. No one is disputing other races have the same issues.
Just exactly right!!! It is about time we started fighting back and actually getting results. We need to stand up and shout:
We're mad as hell and we aren't going to take it anymore!
I blame Janet Napolitano and that reporter woman on CNN that have both labeled conservatives as “dangerous”. They are doing the equivalent of yelling “fire” in a movie theatre and inciting the pea-brained liberal students to violence.
You are absolutely correct: Privileged, liberal pea-brains come in all colours.
Another important factor is that UNC is part of the state university system and is funded by taxpayer dollars! I will be writing to inform them that if the students and professors are not held accountable for their actions I will loudly fight against ANY state tax dollars go to supporting an institution which defiles freedom of speech.
