I think that it's so sad how our generation has been taught. they think that it's okay to be violent against speakers that say something that you don't like. That completely violates our rights to free speech! It shows how this world is becoming less and less educated.

That is a really crazy poll. I'm surprised that Republicans are okay with the violence over Democrats since I'm pretty sure this poll was sparked by recent events. A known conservative speaker, Ben Shapiro, was scheduled several times to speak at UC Berkeley, and each time the University cancelled because of protests they were afraid would become violent. Finally, Shapiro did speak at Berkeley last week, and the security the University and city provided costed about $600,000. Yep. Over half a million dollars in security for one speaker to speak at one university without violence errupting.
