    Not from a public university. Shouldn't even be a crime. Sorry, but freedom of speech means we do have to put with some pretty awful crap.

    ETSU should support that kind of speech and maybe even give the kid a scholarship. More like him, please.

    When he's out there trying to bait people and incite a riot, though, it's crossing a pretty clear line. It's pretty clear he's not trying to debate the protestors or make an educated counterpoint. He's the guy in the bar getting in your face yelling, "Hit me!" while talking shit to your girlfriend and pointing to his chin, and then when you do hit him he screams to high heaven how he did nothing wrong and you hit him for no reason. Seems pretty cut and dried that he's on the wrong side of yelling fire in a crowded theater.
    Good on the protestors for keeping their heads and not taking the bait.

    Guess we'll find out. He's got a hearing the day after the election.

    My guess is they plead it out on the masking charge, drop the intimidation charge, and we never hear about this again.

    From the article, you have to feel for humanities scholars.
