Distress of Nations:Florida police brace for protests at speech by white nationalist Richard Spence
More race war propaganda...
The University of Florida is bracing for potential violence at a
speech by white nationalist leader Richard Spencer. More than 500 law
enforcement officers have reported to the Gainesville campus before
Thursday afternoon’s event, and Gov. Rick Scott declared a state of
emergency, CBS News correspondent Mark Strassmann reports. “We are
hoping that this is going to be a non-event. But we are prepared to
respond and handle this,” said Alachua County Sheriff Sadie Darnell.
“When you get human beings together on different opinions and then you add emotions to
it, you’ve got the recipe for a lot to go wrong.” The school estimates
it will spend $600,000 on security for Spencer’s planned speech
Thursday. The U.S. Supreme Court has ruled that the government, in this
case a public university, cannot charge speakers for security costs.
Spencer’s National Policy Institute is paying $10,564 to rent space for
the speaking event.
