In fact 19% approve of using violence to shut down controversial speakers.
    So they would have no problem with, say, a gay pride parade being shutdown by violent protestors? Or by "controversial" do they really mean "conservative"?

      Given the breakdown of that 19% (20% of Democrats, 22% of Republicans, 16% of independents), those terms for once should not be considered synonymous.
      Enter the Church and wash away your sins. For here there is a hospital and not a court of law. Do not be ashamed to enter the Church; be ashamed when you sin, but not when you repent. – St. John Chrysostom
