If you want to get an idea of how the left thinks read what people are saying in this little gem:

They tried to do the same thing tonight at NYU. Thankfully, the NYPD was there, and not the Berkeley PD. An unknown number of arrests were made before anyone could get hurt. But they did manage to shut down the speech.

I never heard of Gavin McInnis before, but if he has these antifa people all riled up, I may have to start paying more attention to him.

That is just sad.

"Hate speech" is not protected under freedom of speech.

We all have our limits.


One of the people on CNN referred to the protests as Nazi-like and that Milo has the right for his voice to be heard. I'm so ****ing done with this ****.

Only a matter of time before these nazis start getting handled in the streets. People are ****ing pissed.


It's sad that people need to get to near violent levels to keep this ****bag of a human from being able to spew his **** at colleges. Yes yes, free speech, but at some point you need to stop and look at what is being said, and determine if its worth giving a platform to begin with.

Gavin ain't havin' it. I'm a big fan of his; I think you'll like him.
The fact that you weren't aware of him and now you are researching him
shows how these idiot demonstrators are shooting themselves in both feet.
Many people who never heard of Milo are busy Googling and watching Youtube.
He never could have bought that kind of publicity.

Following the violent anti-free-speech protests in Berkeley, California last night - sparked by cal's special snowflakes hurt feelings at the potential
words that would come out of Milo Yiannopoulos' mouth during a sold-out event - it appears America's curiosity has been piqued.

Sales of Milo's book have increased 12,740% overnight sending it rocketing from 642nd to 5th ranked best-seller on Amazon.
Pretty impressive considering the book is not even released until March 14th 2017.Berkeley Blowback: Milo Book Sales Soar 12,740% Overnight | Zero Hedge

Why can't people like that realize that kind of attitude just hurts their cause? And pretty much everyone on that forum has the same mindset. Scary how so many like-minded people can be at one place.

They succeeded in preventing him from speaking to a
few hundred, but now thousands are watching his videos.

My review of the Berkeley riots: Fascists protesting what they say is fascism. Hypocrisy.

Some reduction of funding of UC Bercrazy should be undertaken to address their failure to allow free speech and to make the campus safe for diversity of thought and safe from Liberal Fascists that are encouraged to commit violence against people that they disagree with by the university and city.
