Not wanting a repeat of the bloody scene in Berkeley, Auburn city and University police were proactive in forcing the Antifa activists who showed up on campus to unmask and follow police directives.
The would-be thugs were roundly chastised by the police and meekly complied.
While Spencer spoke to an audience of around 400 in Foy Hall, there was a brief outbreak of violence when Auburn students got into a shouting match with a group of Spencer supporters from the Traditionalist Working Party, a white nationalist organization.
The disturbance was quickly brought under control, with three people arrested for disorderly conduct.
Spencer, who bills himself as a “white identitarian” and “alt-right,” speaks in support of “white European Americans.”
His supporters arranged for the speaking engagement and hall rental, which the university initially approved. When critics of the move warned of possible violence that might endanger students, the school then tried to cancel the event.
Provost Timothy Boosinger spoke on behalf of Auburn to explain the change of position.
Auburn University has faced attempts by uninvited, unaffiliated, off-campus groups and individuals to provoke conflict that is racially divisive and disruptive to our campus environment.
We will not allow the efforts of individuals or groups to undermine Auburn’s core values of inclusion and diversity and challenge the ideals personified by the Auburn Creed.”
Cameron Padgett, who’d rented the auditorium for Spencer’s appearance, then sued the university on First Amendment grounds. On Tuesday, U.S. District Judge W. Keith Watkins found in favor of the plaintiff and granted a restraining order against the university.
An Atlanta area resident and college student (not at Auburn), Padgett paid $700 for the hall rental. The complaint filed in District Court spelled out his case for letting the speech occur.
Auburn is not allowed to pick and choose what views are to be presented in a facility open to the general public for holding meetings and giving and hearing speeches.”
Spencer spoke for approximately two hours. He serves as president of the National Policy Institute, a think tank that is “dedicated to the heritage, identity, and future of people of European descent in the United States, and around the world.”
His appearances around the country create similar types of controversies as occurred at Auburn. Fortunately, police there were more than up to the job of maintaining order, unlike their Berkeley counterparts.
