The night quickly changed from a love fest over the Ultimate Warrior and his career in what was then known as the World Wrestling Federation (WWF) to an attack on his personal beliefs. The Warrior - who Norm Moghtaderi, a 10th-semester sociology and history major, felt was homophobic and racist - was met with unhappy members of the Tent City protest group.

"People like this should not be allowed to spat this off without being
countered," said Geoff Traugh, a 4th-semester peace studies and political science major.

The dispute between Traugh and Warrior escalated. Warrior screamed back and stomped on the stage saying questions would be answered during the question and answer segment. Many people in the audience yelled and verbally attacked Warrior and his views during his hour-and-a-half discussion.

We all know how college newspapers are. And we all know how college students are. So I think the Warrior was probably provoked heavily, but was still wrong in his actions, as were the students.
 
Sounds like some kids wouldn't wait their turn to speak. But I'm sure they wouldn't want anyone interrupting them would they?

Their weak cultures will be assimilated into the warrior collective. And then defecated on.
 
More quotes from other sources:

Statements that really got the crowd upset were when Warrior said "queering don't make the world work" and told an Iranian girl to "get a towel." Warrior also admitted that he used steroids while in wrestling and told any other wrestler they should be as honest as he was.

sounds like what he does is sit around, smoke weed, and complain about george bush. and then maybe write an op-ed piece about how volunteering is a waste of time and that people should put their efforts into activism. after all, why change the world yourself when you could petition the government to do it for you?
 
I thinbk the students went in thinking the event would be different, and started being jackasses because it wasnt what they were expecting. This is why conservatives dont give speeches at most universities. If they speak a different opinion, they get shouted down.
