As expected.

Sounds like the organizers knew what the fuck they were doing in Calgary.

They prepared for the possibility of a larger turn-out than the venue could handle and they're in a more "conservative friendly" region.

Coulter doesn't care about Ottawa; her book sales took a big jump over the issue.

Levant doesn't care; he got huge press out of the issue, that helps support "his cause."

The woman already has enough money to retire on, what's the purpose of continuing to make a fool of herself?

Marcel Marceau continued performing almost until the day he died. Some people just go on thinking that the audience is laughing WITH them, instead of....

Freedom, it's not just for the person at the podium..
So we let the mob mentality rule? Just because you can get more people to scream doesn't mean they are in the right.

Ann Coulter bugs the piss out of me. But in this situation the students are in the wrong. I personally think that any student who disrupts any guest of the school should be expelled. It's that simple. You go to school to learn and also learn how to adapt to the real world. In any private sector job, if you disrupt a guest or speaker at your company, you'd be fired. Not because the company agrees with the speaker but because the company does not want to look bad. This college looks pathetic because it could not control its student body. The students involved should have a disciplanary action taken against them.

And yes, they are feeding an attention whore so good job guys.
