The whole incident on Twitter involved Milo saying unpleasant things about Leslie and her performance in Ghostbusters. He didn't actually directly encourage people to harass her, which was the reaosn given for his ban.

It showcased double standards in Twitter's enforcement of rules since Leslie Jones has routinely made racist tweets about white people over the years, yet has never faced any disciplinary action because of this.

I wonder how many people were arrested? the article doesn't say.
apparently, many laws were broken. why no arrests?
IMO, it is way past time to take off the kid gloves and put on the armored gauntlets. This type of terrorism must be stopped!
NO, this is NOT "free speech"! This type of mob action is an illegal terrorist action. It can not be tolerated!

From what I've heard, the police presence was inadequate, and they didn't seem particularly interested in trying to take control of the situation.

Wasn't it in Berkeley's free speach area that they shut down speech they didn't like?

Someone must have broke into the Berkeley library and ripped out the page with hypocrisy from all the dictionaries.

When are these people going to realize that protesting (peacefully or otherwise), is just white noise now?

Violent leftists is a serious problem facing America.

Hopefully soon they will be The Republic of Californias problem.

The official number stands at ZERO and less than one.

I heard one protestor on the news saying that Milo's speech was not free speech it was hate speech and that they had the right to "defend themselves".

It's not just Berkeley-- the snuffing of free speech and the bullying of conservatives and student republicans has been happening for years now on many college campuses -- it's time to stop funding to these colleges that prevent free speech.
