GAINESVILLE, Fla. (AP) — The University of Florida has paid a local county government more than $67,000 to cover security costs for a speaking event last fall featuring white nationalist Richard Spencer.
The Gainesville Sun reported Wednesday that UF sent Alachua County a check for $67,461.11 that school officials felt covered costs for the event. The county previously billed UF $302,000.
Protesters' chants drowned out Spencer's message Oct. 19. He called the protesters "babies" and "pathetic" before ending the event early.
The Sun has estimated the event's total cost at about $793,000. Spencer and his group paid $10,500. The city of Gainesville says it spent about $224,000 on the event, while the Florida Highway Patrol spent $266,000.

That $67,000 could go a long way toward something useful, instead it goes to let this fucking douchebag preach his hate to other fucking douchebags. And if we don't like it we get called snowflakes and are told to go back to our safe spaces. Fuck that guy and all of his fans.
