Tough. If someone is incapable of dealing with dissenting opinions, even terrible ones... they should crawl into a padded "safe space" with similar infants.
If people protest speakers who have dissenting opinions, the protestors should obey the law. They should restrict their protest to the same medium used by the speaker: speech. If the protestors get violent, they should get arrested and charged. The universities should ban the violent criminals from campus.
That's my $0.02 at least.
The reality is that the universities seem to tolerate violent protests, so long as the protestors have the "right opinions". Instead of the violent criminals being arrested, the peaceful speakers are charged for police protection.
In the interests of "safety", of course.
