Shouting, a walk-out, police escorting an audience member out - an event called “Terrorism: The World’s Greatest Threat” got pretty wild at the University of Michigan last night. The school’s chapter of Young Americans for Freedom organized the event.
Lisa Haidostian and Daniel Trump covered the event for The Michigan Daily.

A large crowd gathered outside of the Rackham Building an hour before the event’s scheduled 7 p.m. start. Flashes of yellow shirts worn by the protesters showed through the winter coats of many in the crowd.
A half hour before the event, YAF Chair Andrew Boyd shouted “We’re ready!” and the doors to the auditorium opened. The aisles filled immediately with people in yellow shirts, who had gathered early for the event.
As the protesters rushed to fill seats, already-seated YAF members stuck their feet out into the aisles.

They ignored YAF Vice President Ryan Fantuzzi’s request that they leave.
Kamal Saleem, who said he was recruited by the PLO at age 7, spoke first. He was interrupted by a woman in the audience who criticized his pro-American stance.

After 15 minutes of Saleem’s speech, the heckling intensified to the point where Saleem stopped speaking and asked the woman to “shut up.”
“Why aren’t the moderate Muslims protesting about the extremists of their faith?” he asked the crowd again prompting loud applause.
After 30 minutes, the protesters in yellow stood up and walked out. There was some jeering from the remaining audience, but the exit went off with little incident.
Roughly a quarter of the seats in the auditorium emptied during the walkout.
After an hour, Fantuzzi took to the stage and issued a warning to the same woman who had continually heckled the speaker. She ignored the warning, and Department of Public Safety officers escorted her from the building.
