Hi Bloke,

I saw the film of this. It looked like something staged in a third world country. There were 5-6 security guards provided by the school. The protesters started yelling, and rushed the stage. On cue ALL of the security guards stepped back allowing the protesters access to the speakers. At NO time did they try to stop the protesters, or help the speakers. It was a riot, and looked like it was well planned out.

It is probably somewhere on www.youtube.com .If you get a chance check it out.
