When it's a universities microphone, that comment is not reasonable. Universities have a set of rules as to who can and cannot rent their facilities. Those rules should be applied fairly and equitably to everyone. The upset here is that the rules are not being applied fairly or equitably. Worse, the people who claim to be for peace, for free speech, for openness and inclusion, are using violence to exclude the speech of people they don't like. Conflating "my" microphone with use of public facilities is a way to side-step the real topic.
