Students riot at UC Berkeley over Milo Yiannopoulos

in #news8 years ago

Protesters have torn down barricades, let off fireworks and set the campus ablaze during furious protests against speech by conservative Breitbart editor Milo Yiannopoulos at UC Berkeley.

Police reportedly opened fire on demonstrators using non-lethal bullets during the uproar on the California campus on Wednesday evening.

Liberals show their true colors by shutting down free speech. Protesters set fires and try to storm the event before it was about to start and campus officials had to cancel the event.

Looks like the police stood down. It appears from the video that police just let the protesters burn a bunch of shit without trying to stop them.

I would not be surprised if this protest was organized by a Soros funded group.

Sort:  

it's his job to entertain morons by rustling the jimmies of morons..around and around the circle of stupidity goes.

He threatens their brainwashed minds with truth and logic.

@wakeupnd Sorry bro if you think Milo uses truth and logic, it would appear you are brainwashed :)

I am not saying he is wrong all the time but he is a well known shill and a con (look into his whole twitter band fiasco con 100% playing victim)

I'd be playing the victim too if big brother shut me down.

@wakeupnd Agreed censorship is bad except look into why he got banned. He was no victim!

@wakeupnd No that is not why he got banned but what he wants you to think! He got banned for the impersonation policy! I do disagree with the life time ban or any ban really. He should of just got ridiculed for it, I fully support his right to spread BS

just posted on this as well, with some extra stuff you might find interesting, including Tucker's interview with Milo:

Milo can be an ass, but this kind of attention feeds his persona. They couldn't help his cause any more if they were trying.

Agreed. I feel there's a larger agenda at play here. This only feeds the larger protests around the country to use violence to shut down other events now.

The side initiating violence is most likely to discredit itself in the eyes of the public. I think the Streisand Effect applies, too.
