Wow. Really? Do they not know that Milo is gay, and openly so?

So basically he's going to throw a temper tantrum and burn stuff if you don't listen to him.

Pathetic and sad. You can lock someone up for violent protest. You can't for freedom of speech. Who's the real bad guy here?

They're just making fools of themselves.
Yep. Definitely that. ^

You are cheering on violence and the destruction of property for the purpose of silencing free speech.

Where is your empathy for others with a differing view point. It is one thing that you are closed-minded and it is even scarier step further that you lack basic compassion for others that have a different philosophy.

Seems it's the liberals at Berkeley that have become the real fascist. True universities of the past would sit with the person, listen to their statements, and then respond with logical responses to those statements, and then allow the speaker a chance to respond. While not as exciting as rioting or shouting down the speaker, doing the above isn't validating the speaker's points, it's offering an opportunity for intelligent people to pick apart the things they disagree with the speaker on. However, if they're unable to puncture the speaker's points then you risk having to admit his points are valid and may influence some of the audience. This is the point in which rioting, shouting down, and violence enters the picture. Guess liberals just skip the debate and skip right to the shutting down of speech.

These are drones. Someone tells them to jump and they ask how high. These violent sheep couldn't even define what Milo was about other than he likes Trump and supposedly is an "Alt-Right Fascist."

The fact that half of them were saying Milo was a "homophobe" would be comical if it wasn't that so many liberal-fascists are condoning this silencing of free speech through violence.

We call it CA or California.
Didn't realize I was committing a major faux pas.

I've heard/read people referring to CA as "Cali." Confused me a little, too, at first.

Berkeley advertises itself as the "cradle of free speech" and the "birth of the free speech movement."

This is nothing more than Bull ----.

These violent thugs riot and threaten violence when presented a different viewpoint - instead of listening and engaging in respectful discourse.

Berkeley is BS.

Perhaps they learned something in their history books about what violence can accomplish?

One video appeared to show an unconscious man lying face down in the street being beaten with a shovel. The rioters even provided a soundtrack to accompany their violence, giving the insurrection a rave-like quality as “We Found Love” by recording artist Rihanna was blasted out by loudspeakers.“Kill fascists” was spray-painted on a shop window. A Starbucks outlet was looted. ATMs at a Bank of America branch were smashed
