update 12/11/2017: Conn police have charged the Quinebaug Valley Community College adviser, Catherine Gregory, 33, with attempted theft and disorderly conduct. The case against Wintrich was dropped.
“Ms Gregory reaction was measured and understandable compared other people’s reaction in light of Wintrich’s apparent goal of inciting a violent response,” said Attorney Jon Schoenhorn, who is representing Gregory. “That, of course, would not be covered by the first amendment.”

Now at college, not only can a right-wing person not speak, when they’re allowed to speak, they can’t. People chanted “Go home, Nazi!” and booed and interrupted Wintrich throughout his speech. She literally stole his property. She literally stole his speech, and when he went and took it back, he got arrested for “misdemeanor breach of peace”.
Quinebaug Valley college says it was OK for Katie to disrupt and steal because she did it on her own time. Wintrich tweeted that he would seek legal action against the university & Katie Gregory.

A Washington correspondent for a provocative conservative website who spoke at the University of Connecticut was arrested on Tuesday night after he appeared to grab a woman who had taken papers off the lectern at which he had been speaking, officials said.
The correspondent, Lucian Wintrich, who works for The Gateway Pundit, followed the woman who took the paperwork as she went back into the audience, and the altercation occurred as he tried to retrieve the papers, according to the university and video recordings of the event.
The speech, sponsored by the campus College Republicans and attended by about 350 people, had been largely drowned out by protesters shouting “Go home, Nazis,” “Black lives matter” and “F‑‑‑ you,” according to the Daily Campus, the student newspaper.
Video of the incident showed several young people approaching the lectern behind which Wintrich was standing. According to the Hartford Courant, which covered the event, they began “yelling at Wintrich.” A woman then took from the lectern a sheaf of papers, apparently the text of Wintrich’s speech, and walked away with them. Wintrich pursued her and grabbed her in an apparent effort to retrieve the papers.
At that point, others intervened and appeared to be trying to pull him off the woman, the video showed, and a brief melee broke out. Police took Wintrich out of the room, the Courant reported.
A UConn spokeswoman, Stephanie Reitz, told the Courant that Wintrich was charged with breach of peace and released on $1,000 bail. As he was being driven away in a police car, students ran after it, the paper said.
A UConn student was later charged with breach of peace and criminal mischief after a window was broken in the building.
“I was charged with ‘breach of peace’ for taking back a speech that I wrote about how disingenuine the MSM is,” Wintrich tweeted after his arrest Tuesday, in reference to what conservatives call the mainstream media.
“It is really unfortunate that some of the kids” at UConn “felt the need to be violent and disruptive during a speech that focused on how the leftist media is turning Americans against each other,” he added. “Tonight proved my point.”
Later he posted his mug shot, saying “maybe this made it all worth it.”
