This can't possibly be true. I mean, liberals told me it was right wing activists that stormed the campus, aimed at making lefties look bad.

The article also didn't name the names of the other protesters, who I assume to be students.

No the article called him an 'organizer' and his interview was not on behalf of the school or the students who protested but the group that rioted.

Anything else?

Once again, the person being interviewed was not a protester, but a rioter.

Here is the group responsible for the rioting. They took a group selfie back in Oakland afterwards. This is not UC.

Did you even bother reading the article? He is a self-proclaimed former student at the college. The very first line:

He is an 'organizer' for the masked rioters who came to the school specifically to incite violence and put on a show for the news cameras.

Did I miss anything?

Yawns another finely worded Breitbart hit piece meant to mislead and cause self righteous indignation among their readers.
California should pass a 'Stand Your Ground' law that makes firebombs, assault, destruction of property legal when used to protect other people from hearing speech they want to hear but you think is hateful

I am a political moderate who voted for Johnson, but I just cannot believe how stupid the extreme left continues to be.

Don't they realize (as many others have said, too) that their actions just make them look hateful and intolerant, and that they are pushing many "in-the-middles" more to the right?!

If it hadn't been for the extreme left, probably a couple of million more voters, including myself, would have "held our noses" and voted for Hillary, and then we wouldn't now have a Trump presidency. (But, to be clear, I still think that a Hillary presidency would have been just as bad, although I continue to hope that Trump will either start behaving like a mature adult or else resign. I don't like Pence, either, but at least he doesn't scare me as much as Trump does, and in every way, I think he would be a better President than Trump -- which isn't saying much!)


P.S. Btw, my vote for Johnson did not matter at all (except for lodging a protest) because my state, Colorado, did go for Hillary.

Y'all will notice these morons stick to states that are endless "safe spaces and gun free zones". It'd be interesting to see what they'd do and what would happen in states where concealed carry is legal...

Yes but he is not speaking on behalf of the school or any student groups-even Breitbart in an accidental burst of honesty, writes he an organizer of the group that rioted, not the larger group of students who peacefully protested.

Does that clarify things?
