President Donald Trump reacted to the massive rioting at UC-Berkeley in response to a scheduled campus speech by Breitbart News editor Milo Yiannopoulos. “If U.C. Berkeley does not allow free speech and practices violence on innocent people with a different point of view – NO FEDERAL FUNDS?” Trump wrote on Twitter early Thursday morning.
News of the rioting made cable news last night as students smashed ATMs and bank windows, looted a Starbucks, beat Trump supporters, pepper sprayed innocent individuals, and set fires in the street. Others spray painted the words “Kill Trump” on storefronts.

Reagan left office in 1988.
This is the first time we’ve had a president since then.
See #9 post
What we don’t want to happen is for these anarchist idiots to cause such a stir that we call for government to shut them down. That COULD usher in a police state. We should let them riot and burn in their own communities. When they venture in to ours, SSS.
Donald Trump Threatens to Cancel Berkeley Federal Funds After Riots Shut Down Milo Event
Calling any one of these institutions anything other then an “Indoctrination Center” is the wrong title.
High school seniors should not be able graduate until they can pass a test that finds out if they can understand the Constitution.
And while we are at it maybe these so-called educators should be tested also.
Like Hillsdale, I believe that Bob Jones University refuses any Federal money so they can teach freely. Graduates of both schools generally come out as over-achieving members of society.
Did you send to Tucker and O’Reilly?
There is room at Gitmo.
Over on the loony left site DU they are again claiming that the rioters were Trump supporters in disguise to make them look bad. LOL
I didn’t know about Bob Jones University. Super! My daughter wanted to go to Hillsdale, but then when she decided to be a nurse she couldn’t go there since they don’t have a nursing school. She did attend a summer Math and Science camp at Hillsdale for high school students that was excellent.
What they are doing is committing arson and rioting. They should be arrested pathetic or not. Also when a bunch of them show up at the same time and do the same things that is evidence of organization. If caught in the act and given a choice between a possibility of a lot of hard time and giving up the organizers some of them will flip. It is worth doing.
They can be attacked on many fronts. Organized, paid “anarchist” is oxymoronic, a conflict in terms, and they know it. This discredits them in the eyes of their own. Split them off and isolate them for the ridicule they deserve.
College of the Ozarks. No tuition. 100 percent placement. “Hard Work U”
I’m so glad that an adult is now in charge. Reminds me of that scene in Patton, when the general visits a base where people come and go at will and lack discipline. First thing Patton does is close the breakfast room at 6:15.
They would lose funding and even be prosecuted if they were violating civil rights or allowing and encouraging groups to violate a persons civil rights. So why not do the same for all of the other parts of the constitution?
The left knows that they will never be able to get rid of the 1st and 2nd amendments so they have figured out they can use the brownshirt methods where they shame or attack people into submission.
The government should fight these people! They are denying us our rights from God and the constitution! Start taking the money away and start arresting people for blocking traffic and speaking venues where they are purposely blocking free speech. They can still protest but once they actually interfere with the speaker, start arresting/and removing them.
Maybe we can have a constitution crime law like we have hate crime laws?
Does this mean that Berkeley gives each "student" an enema?
These big kiddies might still be thinking of cartoon death. Kill Trump is like kill Wile E Coyote. They ought to visit the hospitals in urban war zones.
RUSH always says Democrats are craziest when out of power. Have you, others, noted these idiots always wreck STARBUCKS? One of their biggest supporters! LOL!
violence and destruction of other personal property is not protesting.
Its a crime and anyone committing a crime should pay.
Any student should be expelled and or put in jail as well.
There was also a stand-down order, so state government had knowledge of who these protestors were and what they would do.
Did that one guy hit by the metal flagpoles die?
There have been no consequences for LARPing revolution since 1967-68, with a single exception on May 4, 1970.
These people have been allowed to believe that they are much more powerful than they are, and now they are acting according to the Alinsky principle that "power is not what you have, but what they THINK you have".
Slapping them down hard - and I mean harder than anything since the 1930s - will save a lot of suffering and blood as opposed to waiting a year or two, bu which time, I'm afraid, the bodies will be piling up.
Governor Brown should receive an ultimatum today to the effect that, if he can't control the streets that the US Army will do so, with extremely liberal ROE.
