We read:
"An immigration showdown played out Monday on the DePaul University campus. Supporters of immigration reform camped out overnight ahead of a speech from the co-founder of a group that opposes illegal immigration.
The Minuteman Civil Defense Corps says it uses only legal methods to help authorities secure our borders. But critics compare it to a militia and say it promotes hate.
A few dozen protestors started gathering outside the Sullivan Athletic Center around 5:30 Monday night. By 7 p.m., hundreds of people gathered outside to protest the group's president and co-founder, Chris Simcox's, scheduled speech. He was invited by the DePaul Conservative Alliance and is expected to address a crowd of about 200.
But dozens of protestors say Simcox and his thoughts on immigration are not welcome at DePaul.... "This, as a Catholic institution, should've not allowed him to come here and bring in a speech of hate," said activist Julie Santos. "They talked about free speech, but a hate speech is not free speech." ......
In an unusual move, the university asked the sponsoring student group to pay a $2,500 security fee to cover the cost of additional security to handle the protesters.

Marathon Pundit says what happened. Someone apparently came up with the money for the $2500 extortion and the lecture went ahead among loud protests that it was hate speech etc. Wanting the law obeyed is hate, you see.

So not only was it not free speach, they literally had to pay the university. How sad! The conservative groups should have just as many protesters out there when any other group has a speaker come to campus so they have to pay also. It's only fair.
Hello Good Gentles All!
If i was paying $2500.00 for security I would demand the university supply me with itemized invoice of exactly who was present, what was required and the cost of each.
I would further demand that they demonstrate that all security personnel who were present were indeed extra staff brought in specifically for the occasion and not merely people who would have been on duty anyway.
I would further demand that they demonstrate that this is SOP for any university authorized organization to have to pay for the security of its invited speakers.
If any of these demands were not met I would institute legal proceedings.
