Out of Hand

Protestors decided that their freedom of speech included throwing items at Karl Rove's car when Rove was leaving the campus of American University after giving a speech to College Republicans:

Rove was on the campus to talk to the College Republicans, but when he got outside more than a dozen students began throwing things at his car, an American University spokesperson said.

The students then got on the ground and lay down in front of his car as a protest.

The students said security officials picked them up and carried them away so Rove could leave.

Police said they have dealt with a lot of protests on campus and this one was handled peacefully.

Will assault charges be filed against those who threw items at Rove's vehicle? There's video of the encounter but it's of rather poor quality.
