Breitbart News editor Milo Yiannopoulos’ divisive speaking tour, provoking shouting matches and fistfights among college-age fans and foes, has now degenerated to the level of gunfire. A man was in critical condition Saturday after being shot outside a University of Washington hall prior to the controversial far-right commentator’s speech there Friday night.

WTF! Can I shoot a Black Lives Matter supporter at a crowded rally, with a concealed handgun and get released without charges?
LOL — I think that is exactly what happened and self defense was involved.
Apparently if you are triggered by a “ supremacist’ , deadly force is justified
The “divisive” tour here apparently divided leftist from leftist. Apparently the man who was shot was actually a Bernie supporter mistaken for a “white supremacist” because of his ANTI-Nazi tattoo.

Wow, I see that the Los Angele Times Fake News (actually slanted misleading news) article is effectively causing even FReepers to misunderstand what happened.
‘Breitbart News Editor Milo Yiannopoulos DIVISIVE speaking tour’.
When an article starts out like this, I don’t believe anything else that’s in the article.
What are the carry laws in Washington? In Maryland, my Maryland, this man would be incarcerated for simply having a gun in his possession at the scene even if he had a carry permit.
Whatever the outcome this will probably not be good for future engagements for Milo.
The shooter (man in the yellow hat) was being assaulted by the “victim” and shot in self-defense. The “victim” was part of the left-wing mob randomly attacking Milo/Trump supporters.

How convenient. The LA police believed this crap? I write this as a person who fully supports “Stand Your Ground” laws.
I hope I am not the only one that noticed the “Times” slant that somehow Milo and the event were to blame for this since the tour provokes people.
... and the LATimes fails to mention Milo is gay. Being provocative in his speech is the whole point. He is fighting against the stifling of free-speech thru the ever increasing restrictions of PC languange.
Shoot, I had my anti-Milo riots confused. I should have written “Seattle” police. Mea culpa.
But not the right kind of gay.
The LAPD has been completely neutered. Pretty much all they’re allowed to do these days is take reports.
I’m sure their public information officers lean left.
In my Texas, the perp would have been incarcerated in a wooden box six feet under
If I hadn’t seen the story tweeted locally last night, and all I had to go by was the Slimes, I might have come to the same conclusion.
As it was the tweets were incredibly imprecise and misleading, and often inferred the same upside-down conclusion.
Fortunately I have my official Ronald Reagan “Trust But Verify” decoder ring ;’}
Fake news coverage tilted to fit the narrative.
Just report what happened without bias, please, if you know how.
Milo Yannopolous (sp) reports on the alt right. He does not describe himself as alt right.
We can all have laugh at the idiocy, but we should offer prayers and wish a speedy recovery to the victim.
