The violence at the UC Berkeley campus Wednesday night which cancelled the speech of alt-right provocateur Milo Yiannopoulos is such a debacle for the national opposition to Trump that it almost defies belief.
Consider the context. The Trump regime tells the media to keep its mouth shut, declares a running war against the press, and promotes alternative facts. Orders State Department personnel using a dissent channel created for the explicit purpose of allowing employees to voice dissenting views without fear of retribution that they should resign. Forbids the staff of various federal agencies from speaking in public either by press conference, social media, or anything else. Six journalists face felony charges for covering inauguration day protests.
At exactly this moment, because of what happened at Berkeley, the Trump regime gets to present itself as the guardian of free speech in America.
Nice.
This extraordinary feat was accomplished by a hundred or so anonymous people, clad head to toe in black, faces covered, whom no one can call to account.
Amazing.
Yiannopoulos is doing a 23-campus speaking tour. There are protests against him everywhere he appears, but there have only been a few places where there has been violence directed at shutting down the event. Here is what happens at the campuses where there is no violence:
Nothing....

"Deal with it, dahhhhling..!"
They have met the enemy and it is them.
More and more people hate them. Good, they deserve it!
These morons don’t realize how shutting down conservative speech Is damaging Democrats. They don’t realize how their extremism has cost them the House and Senate majorities, over 1,000 state and local offices, and cost the sure thing Hillary win. Please keep it up.
“Rebels without a clue” will define these losers for the next four years.
This crazy leftnut has already been drowned out by even crazier leftnuts. The outcome won’t be good for either.
I cannot read the whole thing. This drivel raises my blood pressure to crisis levels!
It was worth reading. It is an ardent leftist who sees clearly enough that they understand the dynamics of how the violent protests help the Right side.
But they cannot help putting in garbage like this:
“The shooter, who has now been identified as a UW student and NRA member, sent a Facebook message to Yiannopoulos not long before pulling the trigger. The victim was in critical condition in an ICU for days. As far I can tell, the shooting got swallowed up in the coverage of every other crazy thing that happened around the inauguration, and perhaps also by the fact that the victim did not want to press charges since involving the police and the courts would violate his anarchist principles.”
The shooter claimed self defense, which seems completely believable as you read the article. The whole article is about the violent nature of the anarchist involved.
It is very likely that the “victim” did not want to press charges, because an investigation would reveal that he was the aggressor.
Liberals hate gays!
An extreme situation is when there is a midnight knock on your door and you are taken away in a black van to a concentration camp. This article is just whining by a snowflake.
You can only fight fascism with an anti-fascist response. An anti-fascist response is whatever people who call themselves anti-fascist do. Those who label themselves anti-fascist routinely engage in political violence. Therefore the only proper way to fight fascism is through political violence.
This is what sank the Weimar Republic in Germany. One of the flaws of the Weimar Constitution was that it permitted political parties to have uniformed militias. The militias were unarmed in the sense that they were not permitted to carry firearms, but only knives and clubs. The weapons were supposedly for discipline inside the militia, but very quickly political militias began using the weapons on opposing militias. Germans wanted a man who would put an end to street warfare, and they got one in Hitler.
The tendency for political violence will only prompt a draconian response from the government. Then what? Terrorism?
Hey Dims...Hows that "never let a crisis go to waste" thingy working out ....?
Trump turns the tables before tipping them over.....nice.
Please read it in its entirety. You need to understand the thought processes of these people and where it will all lead.
I can’t read the whole thing either. Excessive asininity.
The Huffie talks about the “black bloc” like it is a new group - it ain’t! Black is the new brown shirt. We all know who they answer to! Heck one of fhen was a UC Berkeley employee or professor who beat the crap out of student and bragged about it on social media!
Do you see any, I mean ANY Democrat disavowing them or saying that even though they don’t like Milo’s message - he still has a right to speak?
NO! So you know who these comunists belong to!
8 U.S. Code § 1182 - Inadmissible aliens | US Law
U.S. Code 8 Sec 1182 (f) Suspension of entry or imposition of restrictions by President
Whenever the President finds that the entry of any aliens or of any class of aliens into the United States would be detrimental to the interests of the United States, he may by proclamation, and for such period as he shall deem necessary, suspend the entry of all aliens or any class of aliens as immigrants or non-immigrants, or impose on the entry of aliens any restrictions he may deem to be appropriate.
Whenever the Attorney General finds that a commercial airline has failed to comply with regulations of the Attorney General relating to requirements of airlines for the detection of fraudulent documents used by passengers traveling to the United States (including the training of personnel in such detection), the Attorney General may suspend the entry of some or all aliens transported to the United States by such airline. Gov. Bobby Jindal was correct If you don't want to assimilate into America, you are not an immigrant, you are an invader!
They are finding out that Obama did them no good by tolerating and encouraging rioting. And the liberal mayors who won’t crack down on rioting just expose them to be the haters they claim to despise.
I doesn’t help that there are no Dems speaking against the violence.
