My question is this: Why is this nut case getting so much attention? Why is his speaking on campus a national news story? Angela Davis spoke at my campus in 1975; why wasn't that news?
The reason was because of the "counter-demonstrators". They're the ones that make violence possible. They're there to provoke Spencer and his crowd to violence. Which is what Spencer wants, as to the more hairy followers of Spencer.
"Counter-demonstrators" are what keep these alt-right lunatics "relevant". They, and the media that can't wait to cover the speeches of folks like Spencer, in the hope that violence will break out and some "journalist" will get a leg up toward his next Pulitzer Prize or book contract. If a tree fell in forest and nobody heard it fall, did it make a noise? If Richard Spencer spoke on whatever he speaks about and no media showed up, was it an event?
Here's the key to drying up the alt-right: STOP GIVING THEM ATTENTION!
We tried that with Donald Trump...it didn't work too well.
