    Trump threatens to cut UC Berkeley's federal funding after violent protests break out at the campus in response to planned speech by right-wing firebrand Milo Yiannopoulos
    • Violent protest broke out at UC Berkeley campus over plans for Milo Yiannopoulos to give a speech
    • Event was cancelled and the polarizing Beitbart News editor and his team were swiftly evacuated
    • Trump later tweeted a threat to cut the school's federal funding
    • Yiannopoulos later posted a video complaining that UC Berkley was 'no friend to free speech any more'
    • Reports of protesters setting off fireworks, tearing down barricades and setting fires at the university
    • One motorist drove off with a protester still on his hood after demonstrators began attacking cars
    • Police reportedly responded to the chaos on campus by opening fire with non-lethal bullets
    • Campus was placed on lockdown and students were ordered to take shelter on Wednesday evening
    • The speech would have been the last stop on Yiannopoulos' anti-political correctness Dangerous F****t Tour
    • Berkeley's Chancellor said Yiannopoulous 'uses odious behavior in part to 'entertain' but also to deflect any serious engagement with ideas

  2. Nonsense. I saw videos and the cops did nothing, just like the DC police during the inaugural riots. Trained riot police can respond to attacks without unduly endangering the crowd. If you choose to participate in a demonstration that you know (and hope) will turn violent, I don't have a whole ton of sympathy for you either.

    If a band of alt-right protestors had tried to stop, say Erick Holder, from speaking, I am quote sure the response would have been far different. For one thing, the students involved would have been expelled the next day.

    Trump is handling this correctly. Put these universities on notice that their federal funding and grants are in jeopardy if this sort of thing continues.

  3. Milo is sharp as a tack. He's like a young Newt Gingrich (as far as out thinking his opponent).
    Can't win a debate against someone so well informed, well spoken, and quick witted.
    Well done Milo!

    He's great. Something else. Right-cover for common sense - a flamboyant gay man

  5. After Berkeley Students And Antifa Silence Milo’s Tiny Speech, Tucker Carlson Gives Him National Spotlight
    zeropointnow Thu Feb 2, 2017 2:57am EST 3 Comments 762


    Last night a combination of UC Berkeley students and Antifa assholes shut down a Milo Yiannopoulos speech on campus, hurling rocks and spraying mace on innocent Trump supporters. The hilarious part is that by limiting Milo’s free speech to a relatively small audience, these young socialists inadvertently exposed his ideas to millions of people on Fox News, after Tucker Carlson had him on to explain what happened;



    Here’s Milo’s official response:

    Isn't this opposite to the response that is needed.. Why doesn't he offer additional help with protecting the campus and surrounding community from outside rioters not associated with the university? Milo should have been allowed to speak. Had the outside agitators been kept away chances are he would have been, despite the student protests.

    Great, the disruption and resistance machine started kicking in. I applaud that. Finally universities stop this PC shit and start thinking about banning hate speech and people that spread hatred and lies.

    You applaud physical violence and property destruction/vandalism? Yeah, that'll ban hate. Nicely played.
