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.
The security gaurds were probably afraid of litigation themselves, if they manhandled any students. I saw the film too, and as a vetreran activist am disgusted by the actions of the protesters. There should be criminal charges filed against the protesters, not for using the "n" word but for inciting a riot. I do not agree with the Minutemen or anything they stand for, but the way to speak out against them, in accordance to the Constitution is outside, or inside with a banner, and to submit peacefully when asked to leave.
