Why Is the Left So Afraid of Free Speech

February 26, 2016 by V the K

Another conservative attempting to engage in Free Speech on a college campus confronts a leftist mob who not only don’t want to hear what he has to say, but seeks to deny others the opportunity to hear him.

Students who wanted to hear Shapiro speak had to be ushered quietly into the lecture hall through a back door while unhinged student activists and faculty members screamed and tried to force their way through a police barricade protecting the front door.

As we reported earlier, the University tried to cancel/postpone the speech until they could assemble a left-wing panel to provide “balance;” something that is never done when left-wingers

ABC News in Los Angeles reported:

Shapiro arrived at CSULA and was speaking to the campus chapter of Young America’s Foundation on the topic of “When Diversity Becomes a Problem” when a fire alarm was pulled.

While the siren was sounding, Shapiro continued his speech, stating he would not be silenced.

“If this sort of thing happened during classes at this university, the kid who pulled the fire alarm would be off this campus so fast it would make your head spin,” Shapiro said. “But not you out there, the protesters, the special magical leftist children protected from the consequences of living in the real world with my taxpayer dollars. You get to shut us down for disagreeing with your thug tactics and your nasty, pathetic, evil ideology.”

According to tweets by Shapiro, protesters blocked entrances to the University-Student Union where he was speaking, attempting to obstruct those who wished to attend. Cameras captured shouting and pushing as intense interactions occurred between protesters and those attempting to attend the event.

After speaking for about an hour, Shapiro tweeted he had to be escorted by police from the campus for safety concerns.

The leftist mob chanting “This is what democracy looks like” were quite accurate. Under a democracy, there are no individual liberties; only what the mob will permit.
Why is the left so terrified of conservative speech?
It couldn’t possibly because the leftist agenda relies on fairy-tale narratives that fall apart under the slightest level of scrutiny or examination. Could it?
