What we saw last week did not point to Berkeley professors as the source of the problem.  The protesters appeared to be mostly  from all over Central Cal

According to the University they got advance information on campus that there would be trouble if Ann Coulter spoke. So clearly the start of the trouble is coming from within, unfortunately this will bring every nut that likes to wear black and cover their faces along just for an excuse to riot. So whilst the damage may not be totally caused by Berkeley students it is or will be started by them. 

 

The same excuse was used after the Milo fiasco, if it wasn't the students who done the damage it was cetaintly the bad element they attracted on their anti free speech protest.

protest is protected free speech too. when protests get out of hand, there's a problem but protesting in and of itself is not 'anti free speech'

Ahh clearly it wasn't your windows or property that was smashed or you would have a different opinion. Playing with the words doesn't change that it was a violent anti free speech protest.

there was (it's been taken down atm) a reddit thread claiming a berkley professor had been the identified 'bike lock' attacker. there's plenty of conspiracy talk out there rn that directly blames professors. not just berkley and not just this incident.

Broken windows have not been the real problem, broken bones is more like it

uh, no i wouldn't. that's why property owners have insurance.

sometimes things get violent at protests, that doesn't mean that the right to protest should be squashed. see 'bad apple spoiling the bunch' police brutality argument..not sure i get your 'playing with words' reference.

that meme doesn't work in your favor considering both sides covered their faces in the footage i saw from last weekend.

Do you disagree with the meme?     

 

I contend whoever goes to these rallies with their faces covered, are going there to cause trouble.  Do I have to start whipping out the videos for you?

Milo announces Free Speech Week

 

21/4/2017 press@yiannopoulos.net FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE In light of recent controversies, I am planning a huge multi-day event called MILO'S FREE SPEECH WEEK in Berkeley later this year. We will hold talks and rallies and throw massive parties, all in the name of free expression and the First Amendment. All will be welcome, regardless of political affiliation. Free speech has never been more under threat in America -- especially at the supposed home of the free speech movement. I will bring activists, writers, artists, politicians, YouTubers, veterans and drag queens from across the ideological spectrum to lecture, march, and party. MILO'S FREE SPEECH WEEK will include events on the UC Berkeley campus. We will stand united against the "progressive" Left. We will loudly reject the venomous hectoring and moral hypocrisy of social justice warriors. Free speech belongs to everyone -- not just the spoilt brats of the academy. During MILO'S FREE SPEECH WEEK, we will give out a new free speech prize -- the Mario Savio Award -- to the person we believe has done most to protect free expression at UC Berkeley and its surrounding area. Each day will be dedicated to a different enemy of free speech, including feminism, Black Lives Matter and Islam. If UC Berkeley does not actively assist us in the planning and execution of this event, we will extend festivities to an entire month. We will establish a tent city on Sproul Plaza protesting the university's total dereliction of its duty and encourage students at other universities to follow suit. I intend to return Berkeley to its rightful place as the home of free speech -- whether university administrators and violent far-left antifa thugs like it or not. - MILO

P.S., I will be releasing further details of my grand comeback tour in the coming few weeks, including information about a special CINCO DE MILO event on 5/5.
