1. Was the problem with Feiner the content of his speech or the result of his speech? Does it make a difference?
2. If you were Feiner what would you have done? What about if you were the policeman assigned to check out the situation? Or a person on the street that day who happened to be walking by when Feiner was speaking?
3. Do you think a situation like Feiner's could (or does) happen today? How would it be (is it) different?
