"handled appropriately" huh?

I was at the Conference

I lead the shout of "out" at the so-called protesters. (And have said so in public before.)

I did this ONLY because not ONE security personnel, be it: UCLA Faculty, Staff, or the Police made their way towards this disruption: NOT ONE INCH!

No one in that hall "in charge" did a thing. And the obtuse "hollering" outside made it difficult to hear the speakers.

Since when does the First Amendment trump the Constitution?
