On Monday, Florida Gov. Rick Scott declared a state of emergency for Alachua County, where the university is located, to enable law enforcement agencies to work together more efficiently. He also made a provision for the National Guard to be activated if necessary.

"I find that the threat of a potential emergency is imminent," Scott said in the executive order declaring the state of emergency.

The event puts the university in the middle of an ongoing debate about what constitutes protected speech and the extent of its limits. University of Florida President W. Kent Fuchs denounced Spencer's white supremacist platform as abhorrent in a letter to students but said the school could not stop him from renting the Phillips Center for the event.

Fuchs told CNN there will be more police on campus Thursday than at any time in the university's history.

Pretty sure MSU turned down Spencer.

Exactly. Not showing up is more effective than showing up just to lose your shit.

Or show up and drown him out. Which is what happened. Haha, preaching hate isn't tolerated and I don't give a fuck about liberals tolerating everyone.

Seems like a lot of work. I'm just not into feeling like someone like that requires my time. Why waste half a day?

Love the protestors exercising their free speech.

And what I love more is when the right wing snowflakes whine about people exercising their free speech.

Hey Bob, hope you are enjoying your weekend at the house. I’m sure you are probably zonked out from all the candle light vigils the past month.
