Editorializing about the possibility of criminal charges by the Orange County DA against
students who disrupted an on-campus speech by the Israeli ambassador last year, the LA Times is absolutely right:
Criminal charges...are not appropriate. They would be overkill, a punishment out of proportion to the offense. Is it really necessary to threaten the futures of students who engaged in a nonviolent protest that didn't, ultimately, stop Oren from delivering his remarks? These students have been punished already, in an effort to make clear the difference between legitimate protest and their unacceptable actions. We hope they've learned a lesson. Now it's time to move on.
