11. I'm against these things
First it reflects badly on the Democratic side.

Second, it is attacking someone's right to free speech, and I'll take a stand against that.

If someone hit me with a pie while I was making a public speech, I would not let up on him/her. I would prosecute them to the full extent of the law, and then sue them civily. And not because I was mad or wanted money either. I would try to warn people that they do not have the right to keep people from speaking if they don't agree with them.

I think it's a serious issue, and also is self-defeating as it makes the victim sympathetic.
