Following the riots that cancelled the final event of MILO’s “Dangerous Faggot Tour,” The Chancellor of UC Berkeley has released a statement claiming that rather than being caused by students, they were started by “armed individuals in ‘ninja-like’ uniforms using “paramilitary tactics.” The event was cancelled after left-wing rioters, who the university claim were not students, smashed ATMs and bank windows, looted a Starbucks, beat Trump supporters, pepper sprayed innocent individuals, set fires in the street, and sprayed the words “Kill Trump” on storefronts.
Coverage of the riots spread across the world, as people watched on in horror at a university known for its heritage of free speech being taken over by political thugs.
In an email to students, UC Berkeley chancellor Nicholas Dirks said that the university “condemns in the strongest possible terms the actions of individuals who invaded the campus, infiltrated a crowd of peaceful students, and used violent tactics to close down the event. We deeply regret that the violence unleashed by this group undermined the First Amendment rights of the speaker as well as those who came to lawfully assemble and protest his presence.”

and the Berkeley cops did nothing...pusssies
Berkeley outlawed free speech a long time ago.
A leftist by any other name is still a leftist.
Since news of the riots broke out, pre-order sales of Breitbart Senior Editor MILO’s upcoming book Dangerous increased by a staggering 12,740%, propelling it to the top of the Amazon best seller list.
Correct me, but I thought wearing masks while protesting was a crime in the US.....Ms. Napolitano’s Berkeley is Marxist where free speech does not exist. Fire her sizable rear out of there!
The university receives over $370 million in federal funding, over half its budget.
These groups were probably funneled money from the Obama Admin.
Their behavior reminds me of “Sandinista” like militia groups, that rule little swaths of geography.
Isn't it time we apply the same protections to public spaces and city streets?
While I am not disputing your assessment, they were ordered to stand down.
The rioters were not wearing the student ID cards around their necks and the chancellor says they were not students. I guess we will have to take the chancellors word as the gospel truth.
heritage of free speech?
the author must be on crack.................
Uh BS with their “infiltrated” the “peaceful” crowd. You all ramped up all the violence with calls for protests, calling him a white supremacist. Telling the police to stand down, not ONE ARREST WAS MADE.
Disgusting.
They need to have their funding yanked, and that mayor and COP investigated for letting their citizens be brutally attacked as the cops ran or looked the other way.
Students at Bezerkely walk around with their student IDs around their necks? Establishment robots!
What we are witnessing by these people are among the opening shots in the coming Social War. Get ready.
Bastard children of the debt-racked, progressive-left nanny state.
Getting a foothold? Wall get built and?
I think many are illegal aliens from very violent cultures with these paramilitary groups overthrowing their governments! If the wall is built, the $$ drys up.
And totalitarian leftists thugs need to be shot
