Uh, one kid's story about getting arrested because he was breaking the law against disorderly conduct. You have the right to act like an asshole in public; you also have the consequent obligation to accept the consequences of your actions.
Almost every state has a disorderly conduct law that makes it a crime to be drunk in public, to "disturb the peace", or to loiter in certain areas. Many types of obnoxious or unruly conduct may fit the definition of disorderly conduct, as such statutes are often used as "catch-all" crimes. Police may use a disorderly conduct charge to keep the peace when a person is behaving in a disruptive manner, but presents no serious public danger.
So in a sense, it's kind of "we don't like what you're doing."
All the same, as much as I hate Ann Coulter, there's little doubt in my mind that what he was doing was obnoxious and disruptive. Protesters in the 60s would regularly go to extremes--sit-ins and the like. They'd also get arrested for it, which was part of their purpose. Action; consequence.
So what someone has to do at a future speaking engagement by Ann Coulter is rephrase the question to something along the lines of "Mizzzz Coulter, I know you've been asked this before, but I never actually heard a response to it. Just how _do_ you feel about a married couple where the husband will only sodomize the wife?"

Heheh.... oh my, hehe... and even if she showed up at the campus on which I work, I would likely be too afraid for my job to ask. Damn. I suppose that's what influencing student employees is for! :)

Now that I think of it I'd probably laugh at him getting hauled off if I was there.
I'm so confused.
