Protest at UNC-CH Stops Speech By Tancredo
Source: Asheville Citizen-Times

CHAPEL HILL, N.C. – University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill police used pepper spray on student protesters upset that former Republican presidential candidate Tom Tancredo was speaking at the school.

Hundreds of protesters gathered at Bingham Hall on Tuesday evening, shouting profanities at the former Colorado congressman, who tried to speak about his opposition to in-state tuition for unauthorized immigrants.

Tancredo left after a protester broke a window. He had been invited by a student group that opposes mass immigration and multiculturalism.

Police spokesman Randy Young said the use of pepper spray was being investigated by the department.

Tancredo said after leaving that he had never been silenced by protesters.

1. He has never been silenced by protesters?
Somehow I doubt that.
