CHAPEL HILL -- Campus police have charged a student with disorderly conduct following last week’s protest that shut-down a speech by former Colorado congressman Tom Tancredo.
Morehead Scholar Haley Koch was arrested outside a classroom Thursday. She was released on $1,000 bond.
She joins six other individuals who were arrested Wednesday during a speech by another conservative ex-congressman, Virginia’s Virgil Goode. None of those individuals were UNC-CH students or employees.
Liberal student groups have clashed with these speakers who were invited by the conservative Youth for Western Civilization to speak against illegal immigration.
Protesters will hold a press conference at noon Friday at South Building on the UNC-CH campus to denounce the arrests.

Unless they are inviting Tancredo supporters there to disrupt their press conference they are the defdinition of arrogance and hypocrisy.
I support enforcement and see its lack as bad for the 3rd World as well. Remittances are now mostly spent on consumption not production assets. Join our efforts to Secure America's Borders and End Illegal Immigration by Joining ALIPAC's E-Mail Alerts network (CLICK HERE)

It would appear that illegal supporters and illegal aliens have a few things in common. They both like to break the law, then protest when they get caught...

It appears that we poor Barbarians fail to realize that when we try to relay our views it is "fascism" while if she seeks to impose hers it is art and we are just too backwards to appreciate art.
