Sorry for the poor quality of the video!
A very lively and enthusiastic crowd this evening at Rutgers University. Milo was greeted with a loud and warm welcome at the lecture hall but many of his detractors had also showed up. The Rutgers crowd was a very vocal and rowdy bunch and made his speech great fun. It was almost like being at a sports event. Milo’s talk was loaded with many moments where the crowd erupted in cheers or jeers but I think the majority of people who attended were fans of Milo. While the passion on both sides made the event fun due to the spectacle it did get frustrating because it became impossible for meaningful dialogue at times. I would have traded the boisterousness for pensive civility and challenging dialogue if given the choice.
This video is a moment where Milo apparently triggered the campus feminists and #BlackLivesMatter supporters. Either that or they felt that moment was just as good as any to disrupt the talk.
