That is completely not cool. People should be able to put on plays and gathering in places they have hired out or been provided freely without being disrupted regardless of how special needs the message is and that particular message is very special needs.
That peoples first reaction to those they disagree with is to shut them down or punch people in the face is a sad state of affairs, these brownshirt tactics don't have any place in a civilized society.
If you do it to them, they will do it to you and what is that quote, an eye for an eye makes the whole world blind. You can't really complain when your own tactics are used on you [well people can and do, but that is also special needs]
Unless of course it's a Justin Beiber concert or anything to do with history's greatest monster, that shit needs to be shut down.

There was reference to the Mel Gibson movie
Apart from the gratuitous torture porn in most of Mel's movie when he can sneak it in, this was full frontal, and it came with his agenda.
It was pointed out that it was an updated copy of similar "plays" put on in the Middle Ages which enraged the audiences to the point of frothing at the mouth and who would then set upon the Jewish section of town and take out their fury on the unfortunates living there.
Can't help but think there is an agenda the sponsors of the play are wanting to push forward. While they have the right. People also have the right to see through it and protest.

Very happy they stood up. People are drinking this crap like water because they don't know better.
Oh babe… our first fight.
Free speech has to be protected. Even for the purple helmet, crayon eating crowd.
May have to book you for make up sex.
It's okay babe I can take a little heated moment between us lol. I am simply looking forward to the day they will actually make research before putting this stigmatized scenario out there.
I have been in multiple classes at Uni that were interupted by manifestations or strikes. It last 3 minutes and then life goes on. No one is hurt. Free speech for sure but if you are talking crap we have the right to say no!

Just because it happened at university [never happened in any of my classes] doesn't make it right.
Also I don't know about the above, but they don't always last three minutes. Look at the Jorden Peterson videos from Queens and McMaster. The former they pounded on the stained glass windows for his entire speech and also did a thing inside before they were removed. At Mac the shut it down.
It's narcissism at it's highest to think that this is OK behavior.
Also, people who support such tactics, I'd bet you dollars to donuts would react very differently if the shoe was on the other foot.
Also these events are not even about speech. Chanting some slogan is not informed debate, it's only an attempt to shut up and shut down someone else.
Also I am sure sure such antics always backfire. Blocking traffic, interrupting events, It would only hardened my heart even if the protest was demanding that humans be even more subservient to our feline overlords. Get out of my face.
Free speech must include freedom from your speech much like freedom of religion means freedom from religion. Your right to your opinion or to swing your fist end at my face.
But hey, if you disagree, let me know where you live/work and I'll show up outside your home at the most annoying times to create my disturbance.
It's even more disgusting to me when it's people I otherwise would support.
Everytime I read your answer I remember why I put you on ignore in the first place. Please ignore me in the future. We don't like each other and that's just fine.
Ps. From my experience, people who calls others narcissist are often the ones who are narcissistic. Jmo.
If the SWs wanted to make a statement, they should have rushed up on stage and pummeled them with sproingy dildo batons.
They protested briefly and then stalked out.
If someone was lying about me and my life and my work, I'd go to where they were lying and make a fuss about it. That shit's pretty personal. Fuck it! I have free speech too.
The university stuff is its own kind of fucked though. It has its own pubescent dynamic wherein the spoiled university kiddies roam in groups and attempt to please their new surrogate mommies and daddies (the "cool" professors) by attacking folks that it's cool to dislike.
(Not that this makes me a Peterson fan. It's just that I hate the kids doing the banging even more than him).
Adult shit is different. Those women actually had a real, grown-up point that they were trying to make.
Free speech doesn't mean you have the right to enter someone else's property [or temporary rented space] and disrupt the proceedings.
I mean fuck, if I were to go over to my neighbor's home and disrupt his dinner because I wanted to make use he understands tat Justin Beiber is history's greatest monster I should be hauled off.
Again free speech much like fists should stop before someone else's face.
This is also why Free Speech doesn't apply to yelling fire in a theatre. Their theatre their rules.
Free speech should just mean that you are free to get your own space and do your own play, or buy/rent radio or TV time, or set up your own newspaper etc, people seem to assume it means these places must provide you with a platform.
Also if people are lying about you specifically, you have recourse in ape law, slander/libel whatever. The civilized solution isn't to just go in and have a fit.
Thank you! Absolutely agree.
I would add that in Quebec education system is broken for a long time. I was at Uni in 2012 and then again in 2018 and both time we were on strike. 2012 was not a kiddie thing. It was really serious. It's not some Paterson crap.
