Anyone else bother reading any "Milo"?
Its SOOOO stupid.
If so, what does that say about the intelligence of Libs & Progs who take his bait?

6. If you like. I think the better plan, if I were the one running a college, would just be to not
hire such people to speak at my University.
Milo was an invited speaker, invited by one of the UCB-recognized student clubs, not a UC-paid lecturer.

30. You are not "the left", nor are the rioters at Berkeley.
BC must not be paying attention to the doings of the last 10 years or more, of Libs/Progs exercising a "hecklers' veto", getting colleges and universities to shut down and cancel all sorts of conservative speakers. In this case, UCB didn't cancel the speech until after the riot began. My opinion, based on the no-arrests policy imposed on police is that this was a LIHOP that got out of hand (from UC's POV) and got national notoriety. My opinion is that UCB wanted just a little violence - just enough to justify banning most conservative speakers - and "cooperated" with the riot planners in the form of that no-arrests policy. The riot planners had different purposes.
