Just One Question ...

... what the hell are the Minutemen doing at Columbia University in the first place?

Forget free speech, student activism, the "animals" and "crazed liberals," and all the political spin that this protest is creating. Immigration is a hotly contested issue that spawns vigorous (and virulent) political and intellectual debate. But I never thought that vigilantes would represent that debate at an elite institution like Columbia. Seriously, all the resources and contacts and the best they can do is bring in the Minutemen???

That just makes me laugh.

And by the way, a very nice quick and clean takeover of the stage though the follow-up could've been better organized. If you're going to shut down an event, then do it completely. No one should be able to hear anything else other than the students protesting. :D
