So he was shot by a water gun filled with lavender oil, according to Knowles, it was chosen to look and smell like bleach. His speech was constantly interrupted as well, before the attack happened. The speech was about how men and women are fundamentally different, but should be treated equally. Protestors claimed his views were bigoted.
So NSG, what is you opinion on the incident?
I think this is absolutely ridiculous. If you’re not ready to have a civil discussion and have an open mind, why even bother attending the speech? Keep in mind most of these people are the same people that call themselves “anti-fascist”, ironic isn’t it? Anyways, while the attack itself was harmless lavender oil, the students constantly interrupting him and screaming really shows how close minded and violent these “anti-fascists” can get.
