Ultimate Defense Of "Academic Freedom"

When attacks on "academic freedom" become physical and mob actions (As at San Francisco State University and Columbia U.), then would the Natural Law and Statutory provisions for the use of such force as is necessary (Including deadly force) be to resist and supress such attacks when speakers (Or those who are with them) believe that they are in danger of death or great bodily harm?

Do such speakers (Or, their on-site supporters) have a duty to accept physical violence against them in the hopes of some eventual police or judicial or university action (Which has proven a false hope in the past)?

As for myself and my walking stick, my reaction to such mob attacks would be measured in "dead and wounded" among the attackers.
