Best thing to happen for him is these protests.

And the bad thing that could happen to these protestors, is they could become a internet meme like Cora Miriam or Cora Segal who's now known as "Trigglypuff".

Agreed, Ben Shapiro is so awful it would be much more embarrassing to speak to an empty auditorium.

Those that lack critical thinking, do not understand the Streisand Effect.
It never crosses their mind.

Shouting down, attacking, forcing out a scheduled speaker is not acceptable.

Especially when so many of the attackers are quick to try to brand the opposition with "hate speech" by their own definitions.

Unless the speaker is actively inciting violence and not just saying things you disagree with then protest away but trying to stifle discourse and run people off is a fascist action.

P.S. "We should go shoot gays" would be an example of inciting violence. "We should vote against gay marriage" is not.
