Get a grip.

Please.

Carry on.


Okay, let's see... smashing ATM machines....hitting a girl in the head who was just standing there...rioter sprayed someone in the face with some spray, (maybe mace) ..hitting another student in the head with a sign....throwing a trash can at someone, man hitting someone in the head,....setting a large fire...shouting, "you f--- with us, we f---with you." street light torn down, (they cheer).. breaking store windows....

These were not acts of protest, but acts of cowardice, hatred, and bigotry.


I would love to see Trump give each one of these losers who committed violent acts, a minimum of 5 years in prison for destroying property, and pay BACK all they destroyed. Punishment for rioters who hurt innocent people and destroy businesses.


And ALL of this is okay with you? I think this says A LOT about you.

Its ok to riot and hurt people because some guy they don't like says things they don't like.




Thank you for proving the point.
If you read from beginning of this thread you
would see that I think it was wrong to
behave like the rioters did.
I actually think he should have been allowed to speak
while protester should have been allowed to protest without
hoodlums rioting.

The rest of my post
was in response to another poster that claimed
that to be scary one had to be mean looking, tatted up and
huuuge and therefore Milo did not fit her
stereotypical mind.
Twist it any way you want, Milo is getting the
fame he so wants.

Waiting...
You seem confused.

He's totally allowed to say what he wants. He's even gotten books published and sold to the public.

So, was there a point buried somewhere in your post?

Also, the false premise that this was about student fees. Student fees are never used for guest speakers asked to speak by political groups on campus. It doesn't happen.

I've never heard of this Yawnopoulos guy. Now I'll have to buy his book and see what all of this is about. That's what happens when the PC censors try to shut somebody down that they don't like. Free advertising.

I think you're not so good at straw men.

But the irrational anger seems real enough.


Carry on.

Can't substantiate your assertion, eh?

About what I expected.

I know what free speech is. It means you don't get bullied into suppression of free speech at institutions which receive public funding in any way, shape, or form.

The people who are rioting in this case are not rioting because they are "left-wing". Rather: people on both ends of the political spectrum turn violent because they are, plain and simply, stupid. (Or, more accurately, they are politically inept, self-defeating, emotionally retarded people who fall easily into a mob mentality whenever the opportunity arises.)

The smarter thing to do would be to peacefully and carefully listen to the guy, then write articles, organize peaceful protest rallies, and give speeches that counteract his point of view. Unfortunately a great many people on both the left and the right fail miserably at choosing the smart things to do.
