A conservative UC Berkeley student group that had been working with right-wing provocateur Milo Yiannopoulos to host a “Free Speech Week” on campus officially called off the four-day program on Saturday.

But the former columnist for the “alt-right” Breitbart News doubled down on his promise to go through with the event, leaving university and law enforcement officials wading into an unpredictable, potentially violent showdown on Sunday.

Is you is or is you ain't gonna do it? Keep 'em guessing. Now back to your regularly scheduled program(ming).

This is the broodery of the Snakes trying to distract America. These college professors ate creating the Antifa animals and idiot Democrats who voted for Hillary and Obama.

Hmmm.... no bias here. Move along.

So, is that an honor to be called that (provocateur)? Any mention of fasctifa types with a euro sounding adjective attached? ;-)

UCB set this up to fail before or during. They got what they wanted.

[super7man]

UC Berkeley is not comfortable with the idea of provoking the students to think.

right-wing provocateur... “Free Speech Week”(notice the quotation marks)... “alt-right”

Nooooo, no bias here.
