Protests and Attacks Cut Gavin McInnes’s Speech Short
Washington Square News ^ | 2/2/17 | Natasha Roy, Jemima McEvoy, Sayer Devlin, and Diamond Naga Siu

Posted on 02/02/2017 9:08:58 PM PST by Mozilla

Gavin McInnes spoke for only three minutes without interruption until the jeers started. He exited the Rosenthal Pavilion in the Kimmel Center for University Life 20 minutes after he took to the podium and was escorted from a mixed room of jeering students and fans — once he was in the back, McInnes decided to leave the premise immediately.

NYPD and NYU Public Safety Officers secured the interior and exterior of the building, and even before entering the building, McInnes was attacked with pepper spray and was promptly treated by EMT after security and university officials waited outside the Kimmel bathroom door.

And once he started speaking, students verbally harassed him — they began the ridicule once McInnes made his first joke that did not bode well with the audience.

“When I got pepper sprayed, your eyes hurt obviously,” McInnes said as he imitated a squirt gun sound — what the protestor used to attack him. “And then you get this sense of panic like ‘How do I know this isn’t acid?’ Oh yeah, this isn’t Islam.”

The crowd started booing and saying, “Whose streets? Our streets” in a call and response style chant until McInnes’ speech was no longer audible.

Vice President of Student Affairs Marc Wais tried calming the crowd multiple times and asked everybody to return to their seats, but after failing multiple times, McInnes yelled at Wais as well.

“You’re ridiculous sir,” McInnes said after taking the microphone from Wais. “You’re dumb, liberal asshole.”

The crowd of protesters cheered after McInnes framed Wais as a supporter of the more liberal left. After the event, Wais said that that this is a follow-up to what happened last night at University of California, Berkeley.

All that trouble, the speaker was assaulted, and only 5 arrests - I hope that includes whoever pepper sprayed him.

One has to wonder if it's truly sunk into the empty space between these idiots' ears that if they manage to kick off this 'revolution' they think they want, that they're ALL gonna die ?

Sounds like Marc Wais is a Nazi, and should be punched.

With Lucille.

Left wing liberals are even more irredeemable and evil than radical islamists.

And American left wingers have gone militant.

They always start their violence where the cops are nearby. Nobody is going to puncture the anarchist bags of blood because nobody wants to be shot by the cops.

The good guys would have to track down the bad actors at their homes and jobs ( if they gave a job) and gatherings where they socialize. And administer vicious justice in sudden and unexpected ways.

Ain’t nobody got time for that.

“One has to wonder if it’s truly sunk into the empty space between these idiots’ ears that if they manage to kick off this ‘revolution’ they think they want, that they’re ALL gonna die ?”

Not at all! They all thought this way until Trump’s election: “We have the numbers and we’ll have the government under our control too.” Now they just focus on the following:

1) “We have a majority of the population.”
2) “We have New York and Los Angeles” (i.e. they have the coasts so they have all of America that matters). I’m not kidding. They actually say that sort of thing.
3) “We have all the technology and the youth”. When you point out that they have almost none of the guns and little or the food or fuel, they look at you as if none of that matters.

They can plan a violent, obnoxious protest on campus, but they have NO UNDERSTANDING of how a “revolution” would pan out in real life. They also do not realize there would be no “do overs” in their “revolution”. Once they lose they die. They think they would just go back to their old life as students if it didn’t work out. They don’t realize that if such a revolution actually happened, it would be fought for keeps. They would not survive.

I do worry about these idiots becoming a large Weather Underground like terrorist group, however. There are so many of them and they think nothing of violence against innocent people. It could be a horrible time.

Never interrupt your enemy when they’re making a mistake.

The goal is to silence McInnes at all costs: Shouting, using pepper spray against him, shutting down the event - it’s all fair game in their eyes.

They’re as intolerant as the Nazi boogie men who fill their nightmares.

we see how quickly they fold when strongly confronted. they don’t even have to be outnumbered. if there isn’t more than 10 of them, one or two big guys set them straight. They run or start crying for the police.

Imagine them going to a mostly conservative good ole’ boy gather like a NASCAR race or country concert in the south. Do think for one second they’d last in a fight? The women would kick their ass.

They’re weak as hell.

They’re not afraid of Nazi or think that we are Nazis this is their fraudulent cover to shut down anyone who isn’t for their totalitarian globalist anti western doctrine.

I bet they were calling him a “nazi” even though he’s in an interracial marriage...
