Translation: The lefties were losing.
(because campus officials say they won’t protect participants from rioting when it happens.)
Is what they really meant to say.
OY President TRUMP? You need to cut off their funds ASAP.
I guess now their little sissy antifa’s got their asses handed to them this past Saturday they wanna stop all the violence?
I agree. It is time to boycott Berkeley and here’s a list of businesses that we need to start boycotting.

The progressives who run the birthplace of 1960s freedom of speech movement—now a lefty zoo—are worried about their legal liability.
So after one conservative is chased off, they tell another one, they also disagree with: “No. You can’t speak here or there will be violence we cannot control.”
How sad is that? Liberals. Can’t live with `em, can’t ...
I was trying to remember where Mario savio and the Free Speech Movement started; oh well, it’ll come to me.
This I do know:
A Memorial Lecture Fund was set up to honor Mario Savio upon his death. The MSMLF hosts an annual fall lecture on the University of California, Berkeley campus. Past lecturers include Howard Zinn, Winona LaDuke, Lani Guinier, Barbara Ehrenreich, Arlie Russell Hochschild, Cornel West, Christopher Hitchens, Adam Hochschild, Amy Goodman, Molly Ivins, Jeff Chang, Tom Hayden, Angela Davis, Seymour Hersh, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., Naomi Klein, Elizabeth Warren, Robert Reich, and Van Jones.
Isn’t that special? Famous far-leftists are fine (except for Seymour Hersh who’s been kinda evenhanded); but harmless, tasteful, tall, blonde, attractive, little Ann Coulter triggers them? On what planet?
And neither will the Berkley police apparently.
University of California. Where Angela Davis was a paid full professor (and now receiving at state pension) for 15 years.
Jeff Jr. is enrolled there starting in august for his masters in EE. I’m glad he got a full scholarship plus a stipend, because there is no way I’d be paying that place one red cent
It's pretty obvious, any number of blowhards aside, that many are just waiting for the actual shooting to start.
Find a spot just outside of campus, hold the event, use a private security company armed with AR15.
No shocker, free speech is only permitted for those who adhere to the communist party dictat. It has been dead for years in Berkeley.
Conservatives should just ignore Berzerkely. Treat the place like a leper colony.

It was never about free speech. It was all about moving the leftist agenda forward. They always intended to suppress all speech they disagree with.
These are typical leftist, statist, tactics. The Antifa are Fascists in their actions. They are demonstrating that they unwilling to accept democracy and a limited government.
The universities are ALL using this excuse because it worked several times elsewhere.
Maybe you haven't been paying attention...
“they won’t be able to protect participants from rioting”
More like they dont want to.
*****************
Yes, they can. Just let the police shoot into the ground and watch the chicken s..ts run. The shots must come from 360 degrees so that no one group of police can be targeted and all rioters can be allowed to run free unless they aggress the police. Then, jail them.
And the Berkeley cops would just be standing by watching, eating donuts, and enjoying the riot.
