University of California, Berkeley is on a campus-wide lockdown after protests broke out against Breitbart editor Milo Yiannopoulos, an alt-right leader who was scheduled to speak at the school.

Yiannopoulos's event has been canceled, and university police urged students to shelter in place and stay away from the protest area.

We haven’t watched local tv news since Trump won the election, the first time, due to their fake news about Trump and his evil white voters, us.

Last night, we got a phone call from a local Trump friend, She told us that $oreA$$’s hired thugs were raising hell In Bezerkley about Milo speaking. So we turned on the local Faux channel to watch the predictable street show/act between $oreA$$’s paid rioters and the worthless Bezerkley police.

$oreA$$’s hoods were dressed in the same black hoody jackets with black face masks on some of them. They had control of the streets while the Bezerkley cops watched. My wife asked why the cops were just watching. I told her, it was their job to allow $oreA$$’s paid thugs to do their thing, to riot and stop free speecj

In a few minute $oreA$$’s paid thugs had started a big fire and then we heard what sounded like big firecrackers. $oreA$$’s hired thugs now controlled the streets and were out of control.

In a few minutes the Trump Haters in Charge of UC Bezerkley cancelled Milo’s speech right on their pre arranged schedule with $oreA$$. The same thing had happened at UC Davis when Milo was scheduled to talk. So much for UC Bezerkley’s/Davis famed free speech.

The paid $oreA$$ rioters then attacked business windows and doors in the peaceful college area.

That is SOP with the $oreA$$ thugs and the worthless Bezerkley cops.

There is a petition at White House.com to declare George $orleA$$ a criminal and arrest him, iif anyone is interested. Apparently, we like to bitch about $oreA$$ but don’t bother to sign a petition declaring that he is a criminal, Less than a 1,000 signatures at the site since it went up about a week ago.

Below is the info re this petition if anyone is interested:

WE THE PEOPLE ASK THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT TO PROPOSE A NEW ADMINISTRATION POLICY:

Issue an International Arrest Warrant for George Soros
Created by A.B. on January 21, 2017

Sign This Petition:
Needs 99,355 signatures by February 20, 2017 to get a response from the White House.

645 SIGNED
100,000 GOAL

George Soros is a menace to the free world and stands in the way of making America great again. He is guilty of the following crimes:

1) Financially supports open sedition in major American cities resulting in millions of dollars of property damage as well as loss of life.

2) Attempts to manipulate democratic elections by donating millions of dollars to his preferred candidates.

3) Seeks to curtail American sovereignty. In his own words: “The main obstacle to a stable and just world order is the United States ... Changing [the] attitude and policies of the United States remains my top priority.”

4) Is a currency manipulator. Soros initiated a British financial crisis by dumping 10 billion sterling, forcing the devaluation of the currency and gaining a billion-dollar profit.

?Did UC Berkeley cancel the event or was it cancelled by Milo or the group that invited him to speak?

From everything I’ve read, the University cancelled the event, “for safety concerns,” of course.

It is my understanding that as soon as everyone was inside and disarmed, they cancelled the event and made them go out and confront the rioters who just received anything that could considered a weapon from security officers that confiscated them from the visitors.

They should grab some of the 150 rioters dressed in Black with masks and throw them in jail until they talk about the Soros organization.

We have seen the black-clad masked “anarchist” before.
There were a good number of them in Seattle during the World Trade Organization meetings some years ago.

As has been noted many times on FR, follow the money! Who is paying all these “anarchists?” Radical left-wing Marxist-Leninists would be more appropriate.

I suggest that if the school administration publicly expelled the top 20% most violent of the protesters (based on multiple video sources and eye witnesses) the outbreaks would stop. The administration would have to be committed to defending the expulsions for years in court regardless of the costs and take on the paid ACLU vultures that would come after them The one thing those kids and their parents would understand is losing their degree from Berkeley. If they knew it was conditional on their not engaging in violent behavior the chaos would stop in a heartbeat.

It will never happen in a Blue state like California or in a blue sanctuary city.

We need to sign that petition and help the Trump DOJ to start moving against this criminal.

The DBM is judiciously avoiding using the word “riots” when referring to what are clearing “riots”.

They are termed just “protests” or “violent protests”.

Protests sound so free speechish. First Amendment and all that.

Riots are violent disturbances of the peace by a crowd.

University administrations, as well as law enforcement, need to come down hard on these. If they don’t, they are inviting more of them.

From a public relations standpoint, this reflects very poorly on the university and parents are going to take notice - especially parents of conservative students.

This is becoming ridiculous, the left is “literally” propping Milo up... many on the right already see him as a verified scam artist.

I don’t think that the main instigators are students. They are professional anarchists. Probably getting paid. If they are able to get within two blocks of the venue with professional grade fireworks and Molotov cocktails then the cops are not doing their job. Maybe it’s time to call in the motorcycle clubs.
