That kind of behavior is unacceptable

Two people rushed the stage where Thomas Friedman was about to give a talk from and threw pies at him.

And Michelle is right (at least for me):

I predict we’ll see a blossoming of liberal media pieces decrying the mob atmosphere at American colleges and universities and calling for civility in academic exchanges. Better late than never. I guess.

I don’t recall seeing a similar incident recently. Anyways, I don’t mind people going to talks and by using apparels (clothing, etc.) attempt to send a message to the speaker. I do mind people that prevent a talk from taking place, although if the disruption is reasonable in terms of time I can live with it. Throwing pies I find particularly bad. You don’t know what is coming at you. It could be someone trying to harm you. There is very little message being communicated.

This blog is definitely against that kind of behavior, towards anyone from the right or the left.
