Free Speech Finally Wins as Charges are Dropped

Storrs, CT -- Lucien Wintrich, White House correspondent for the conservative blog, Gateway Pundit, was charged with breach of peace due to a confrontation he had with protesters at the University of Connecticut when he was about to give a speech Nov. 28th titled "It's OK To Be White."

But actually, the confrontation was started by the protesters over Wintrich's right to free speech.

Wintrich was charged after grabbing a woman who attempted to steal his notes for the speech from the lectern. 

He argued that he had every right to retrieve his property, and alas, the charges were dropped by the prosecutor.  "The system corrected itself," he said as he left the courthouse.

"We don't want to create a precedent that people can walk up to speeches they find disagreeable and steal them," he said. "I mean that's really not what America is about."

Except now it seems to be exactly what America has become. Liberals believe they have the right to stifle speech they don't want to hear. Of course, they could walk away or turn off the TV, if that's where it's coming from, but instead, they've become the fascists while pretending it's the speaker.

The fascist who tried to steal his notes, Catherine Gregory, of Willimantic, turned herself in on Sunday to face charges of attempted larceny and disorderly conduct. She is free on $1,000 bond and is due in court next Wednesday.

Wintrich's lawyer, Norm Pattis, said Ms. Gregory and the school will be hearing from him soon.

"Free speech matters. It's okay to be white, black, brown or anything in between," Pattis said. "My client came to Connecticut and was treated like a criminal for no reason."

Hopefully, Gregory will face real consequences for trying to undermine the constitutional rights of Mr. Wintrich.

But I don't hold too much hope that it will happen because a lot of liberals don't believe that it really is okay to be white.
