Violence, Arrests Plague Richard Spencer Event at Auburn

Violence and arrests punctuated another Richard Spencer event, this time in Auburn, Alabama, where the white-nationalist speaker appeared Tuesday evening. Auburn University had attempted to cancel the speech on Friday, but Spencer obtained a federal court order that allowed him to go ahead with the event. Three people were arrested while protesting the appearance, police said. “We won a major victory for the alt-right,” Spencer said of the order. His speech, according to local outlets, was repeatedly interrupted by protests and shouts from the young crowd. “The alt-right is about being a white person, being a European in the 21st century,” Spencer said. “There’d be no history without us.”
