FBI Investigating Identities of Violent UC Berkeley Rioters
Brietbart ^ | 02/07/17 | Ben Kew

UC Berkeley have confirmed that the FBI are investigating the identities of the violent left-wing rioters responsible for cancellation of Breitbart Editor MILO’s talk at the university, according to university news site Berkeleyside. On Monday, Breitbart News reported that Ian Dabney Miller, an employee of the university, was involved in the riots, uploading pictures on Twitter boasting of his involvement.

In an email to students, UC Berkeley spokesperson said that “The campus is aware of the allegations involving someone who is a current member of the university’s workforce,” adding that “UCPD is working in close concert with the FBI on an ongoing investigation into the matter.”

Since news of the riot broke out, the university has consistently denied student involvement in the riots. In a statement, the university’s chancellor, Nicholas Dirks, claimed that instead of being caused by students, the riots were initiated by “armed individuals in ‘ninja-like’ uniforms, using paramilitary tactics.”

One group has so far taken responsibility for the riot, the far-left BAMN (By Any Means Necessary,) with the group’s leader Yvette Felarca telling KTVU she has “no regrets” over the riot, adding that “the left has been far too timid for way too long.”

The event, which was meant to be the final event of MILO’s Dangerous Faggot Tour, was cancelled after rioters smashed ATMs and bank windows, looted a Starbucks, beat Trump supporters, pepper sprayed innocent individuals, set fires in the street, and as well as spraying words “Kill Trump” on storefronts.

As well as causing $100,000 worth of damage to the university’s student union, rioters also caused between $400,000-500,000 worth of damage in Berkeley’s downtown area, according to John Caner, head of the Downtown Berkeley Association.

What about graduated students? Hold Bezerkley responsible for the training given to Alums and dropouts.

The reason for the FBI to get involved has nothing to do with the damage. It should have to do with thugs terrorizing right winged people gathering. These people who cause harm to right winged people because we are for something and they are against it, are a threat to democracy.

And since this criminal activity crosses state lines the FBI should be heading the investigation. Planning, coordination, money, and people crossing state lines to embark on criminal activity should be enough to put people in jail for a long time.

You should read the letters to the editor of the local Berkeley rag. The physical violence was “self-defense” against the possibility of offense by Milo’s words. I doubt they’d consider violence against their own offensive words “self-defense”. Selfish, self-centered people. Convict mentality.

You gotta like the irony of having Janet Napolitano as state queen of the UC system, who infamously labeled and treated US military veterans as domestic terorists, presiding over this campus terrorism. Let’s see if she brags that “the system worked.”

I hope the FBI is investigating the rioter’s overlord, CEO and CFO, GEORGE SOROS.

Lest any states righters complain, the federal involvement is justified to protect Constitutional rights that are not being protected by California.

Correct. UC Berkeley police, local law enforcement, the Mayor, etc., did NOT make a good faith effort to accommodate Milos right to free speech. If anything, they conspired with the rioters to quash his free speech.

Civil rights violation occurred here, among other vandalism and violent crimes.
