NDSU Speech by Breitbart Personality Canceled Due to #NoDAPL Protests

Milo Yiannopoulos, a Trump-supporting provocateur who works for Breitbart, was set to speak at North Dakota State University but apparently the event has been canceled due to security concerns with #NoDAPL protesters.

Specifically, NDSU raised the security fee:

The event which was scheduled for Friday, December 16th, was suddenly hit with a large security fee increase however unlike many other universities that used security fees as an attempt to censor MILO, the threat by Dakota Access Pipeline Protesters to disrupt the event posed a viable risk to those in attendance.

“Unfortunately the state of North Dakota has a issue with our pipeline” said Jamal Omar, a North Dakota University student and Vice Chair of the College Republicans who invited MILO to speak. “Many of the protesters (some of which have shot at officers) wanted to protest here and unfortunately we couldn’t manage to keep people safe.”

According to Omar, NDSU isn’t to blame for this. “The university was very helpful and affordable charging only 1500 dollars for the 2 rooms, 5 officers, IT support, parking, and all other required amenities. We appreciate the support our university that had helped defend us all the way in our pursuit of free speech, but we do not want the lives of any individual to be put on the line because of those who wish to cause harm,” he told Breitbart.

The USA will be in a proverbial world of hurt when the millenial snowflakes assume power. And their turn will be coming. May God help and protect us.

I suspect Milo wouldn’t be too hard-pressed to get some overpowering security, if he called for it - Lexington & Concord, if ya know what I mean.

The protesters need to give up all of their use of petro fuels; in solidarity with Gaia.

This has been going on for months now. Milo made a swing through the South and the security issue was raised at some schools, but I don’t think higher security fees were ever collected. He was at Auburn and Alabama with no problems and at many other southern schools.

Does anyone know of any real problems where he has appeared?

Sure am glad our founding fathers didn’t have to face threats like this when they fought for our freedom. /s

Gawd, they’re carbon copy in their ‘looks’. Fugly, fat, unwashed hair, and near-sighted.

I’m surprised this protestor didn’t use water colors or chalk or something less deadly than her oil-based Sharpie pen. (And don’t even get me started on the killer plastic pen case that will NEVER bio-degrade, and also made of petroleum products.)

Left wing fascists demand the freedoms they deny to those who they disagree with. Modern American Nazis.

That’s Iowa State.

So there have now been TWO instances of this.

My article was about NDSU and the pipeline haters.

Do the presentation somewhere else in town and ask everyone to pack heat.

Problem solved.

I’m not even slightly kidding.
