The auditorium is on a public campus of a public university funded by public money. More public than that, and you're using the Constitution as a doormat. But that may not be the rule, which in and of itself is absurd. But I did say it was likely not a public space and therefore the law of the land regarding speech doesn't apply, but that's much too ludicrous a pill for me to swallow. A town hall meeting on public land? What's more American than that?
I see UF's point, and while I take issue with charging him with disturbing the peace, the case can be well-founded for it. But we're right, it has nothing at all to do with the Tasing, which is a question of justifiable use of force. And I'm not an expert on police tactics.
