Students at Howard University loudly protested former FBI Director James Comey Friday as he delivered a convocation address.

As Comey, making a rare public appearance since leaving the FBI, began his speech welcoming new students at Howard University, protesters could be heard yelling from the back of the room, raising their fists and shouting. Some of the slogans included "No justice, no peace, "We shall not be moved" and "white supremacy is not a debate."

Standing before a packed auditorium, Comey stood silently for over 15 minutes as the students yelled, "I love being black" and "Get out James Comey -- you're not our homey."

"I love the enthusiasm of young folks, but I wish they understood what a conversation is," Comey said as the students continued to chant, sing and clap throughout his entire prepared remarks. He said that he had received a number of invitations to speak over the place several months, but "chose to come here."

"I look forward to adult conversations about what is right and what is true," Comey concluded, as he ended to a standing ovation.

Apparently the always aggrieved minorities that gained status under Obama, show zero gratitude for Obama's operatives.

One day fairly soon, I fear blacks will burn one or more cities, worse than any before.

The cry is no longer poverty, for "poverty" in America today includes smartphones, full bellies, health care, air conditioning and lifelong idleness.

It infuriates me that colleges allow this to happen.

If a guest speaker is invited, any student in the audience who disrupts the speech should be instantly taken aside and removed from the auditorium.

No speaker of whatever opinion should have to stand 15 minutes waiting for 'chants to subside.'

Comey is a liar and led a corrupt FBI.   A pox on him.

Agreed, but the sad part is that those who protested him are so stupid and easily led.  Heck, he's their guy!  He's on their side.

The point is not whether you like Comey or not.

The point is disrupting any speaker invited to speak on a campus.

There is always the option not to attend.  But if you do attend just to disrupt, you should be removed at once.

Comey helped build the environment which encourages  this behaviour.  Screw this bastard.

Turn it into a debate.

Idiots don't tend to like the light shining on their idiocy.
