The birthplace of the free speech movement has become its graveyard.
Hundreds of liberals rioted at the University of California Berkeley Wednesday night — burning stores, throwing Molotov cocktails and clashing with police.

The rampaging mob forced the university to shut down an event featuring gay conservative firebrand and Breitbart editor Milo Yiannopoulos.
“I’m outraged that Milo has been given a platform at UC Berkeley, and there should be no place for him here,” visiting assistant art professor Samara Haplerin told the Daily Californian. “He should be scared that people aren’t going to stand for this.”
Ironically, Milo had planned to deliver remarks defending free speech.
Start removing government assistance from ALL these rioters.
Isn’t it wonderful how intolerant they are? They are the very ones who yell and riot for tolerance.
Sounds schizophrenic to me. Mental health and commitments to mental institutions seem in order. What a generation of bullies and babies sucking of of sugar daddy Uncle Sam.Maybe a new requirement for all 18 or 19 years olds to non voluntarily join the armed services like say Israel does? Maybe they will learn some respect for the nation.
better yet, arrest destructive rioters, mace them, billy club them, cite them, take them to jail and court, find them guilty, restrain their first amendment rights to assemble, their second right to own guns, and secure a large fine $$$ from them along with restitution for damages.
For every action there is always an equal and opposite reaction. When the weak socially failed, masked, cowardly anarchists meet our strong, brave, organized unmasked National Guard Reserve troops, it will not end well for the anarchists. Their funding Puppet Master, George Soros, needs to be placed in jeopardy himself, financially and legally. “Lock him Up”
Liberals always make the same mistake,,,they first believe their own lies and believe they are going to succeed just because they organized sooner….Hitler also found out the hard way what happens when the individual American strong organize themselves out of survival,,,then it is game over for the organized weak national Socialists. This is America, the land of the citizen warrior, not the unarmed Soviets peasants.
Better yet HHL.. TELL THOSE armed cops we can clearly see standing on one of those buildings getting pelted with fire-bombs and bricks/rocks, OPEN THE HELL UP> START puting some hot lead into heads and it will stop.. THESE RIOTERS should be put down by lethal force..
AND WHAT in gods name is up with the law out there, where ONLY ONE PERSON got arrested, when video after video we can see, over a DOZEN with bats, molotov cocktails etc..???
California used to have free tuition to universities. The student(usually older professional students) killed that. The powers that were noticed the failure to launch and decided if these students had debt to pay they would be productive not destructive.
Today the high debt ratio, instability,fears,have allowed a free people to be brainwashed into restricting freedom. The lesson is to retrain professors and college administrators to deal with anti free speech and arrest try and give very heavy fines for this destructive disruption. Not jail,not destructive criminal convictions Civil suits and the arrest are tickets unless they lie. just financial fines for the damage and irresponsibility.
And of course, the so-called has-been celebs have to show up and make their dumb speeches. people like Debra Messing and what’s her face Silverman, Silberman, whatever. Remember their names, (always the same) boycott anything they do. Boycott Hollywood.
They’re college students. At Berkeley. They’re protesting Breitbart, not homosexuality. Heck, about 80% of them probably ARE homosexuals.
[And of course, the so-called has-been celebs have to show up and make their dumb speeches. people like Debra Messing and what’s her face Silverman, Silberman, whatever. Remember their names, (always the same) boycott anything they do. Boycott Hollywood.
I saw a mention of that Silverman who made the comment he hopes the military stages a coup and outst trump. IMO that should be a crime..
Then there was another actor who said something to the effect of BURN IT all the F down. If these conservatives think they have seen it all, they ain’t seen anything yet.
And another who said “Go out and punch a nazi, we don’t like nazis. NO nazis here, cause all they do is incite violence”.
YET not one of them has been told to ‘apologize’ for their statements since they ARE INCITING violence.
What do you want to bet that most of those doing the rioting were not even students?
Just ONE PERSON did all that?
It’s time to shut down the university and find out WHY only one person was arrested.
EVERYBODY at that ‘protest’ should have been arrested for violating a Federal Law on DENYING Citizens of their Constitutionally Protected RIGHT TO PEACEABLY ASSEMBLE to hear political speech without interruption by VIOLENT PROTESTORS.
It wasn’t the campus cops who did that, it was the CITY cops who only arrested one person. PATHETIC!
Pull all federal assistance for these anarchists universities..
Why are these criminal anarchist students not thrown out of college so WE THE PEOPLE can get a tax refund on money wasted government subsidized tuition to support their education,,,make that indoctrination.How do you break University windows, burn university property and still get to stay in school?,,,or the organizing anarchist teachers retain their jobs? In the world of failed Liberal Socialism does anyone EVER get fired, let alone disciplined,,, a word by definition education is supposed to inculcate into student brains and behavior,,,,,no, just the honest law abiding citizen gets to lose his pound of flesh. THIS MUST CHANGE, beginning at the TOP and ending with DEFUNDING.

The current excuse is “they were not students that caused the problems”.
But, until they either start ARRESTING THEM FOR VIOLATING THE LAWS we can never know for certain.
Perhaps, if the politicians keep telling the ;law enforcement’ to stand down, AND those “law enforcement” types honor an ILLEGAL ORDER, then WE, THE PEOPLE, FORCED INTO DEFENDING OUR OWN there will be ‘protestors’ laying in the streets bloody and unable to move we will find out if they are students or imports.
[inluminatuo

Exacctly… THEY keep coming up with excuses to avoid being punished for their behavior and have been doing so for decades now… ITS gotten so in grained in them, if/when someone DOES start holding them to account, THAT would be seen as not normal..

Currently I’m at the point where the violent/destructive should be found on the pavement, bleeding profusely, unable to move because of broken bones, and even dead.
They act this way because they know the media and corrupt politicians will cover for them.
But, on the other hand, when those politicians and media types discover they are going to be considered ‘targets of opportunity’ for supporting the criminals OVER THE PEOPLE, like the cowards they are, their support will fade.
The kind of violence that happened here goes beyond matters of free speech and even beyond vandalism. There were multiple cases of assault and battery, including at least two cases that required hospitalization. I repeat the question that others are asking: Why was no one arrested? And I can hardly believe that all those rioters were “outside agitators,” so with all the videos making it possible to identify students, why were no students disciplined under the Code of Student Conduct?
WHAT student code of conduct..
ltuser February 2, 2017 at 4:48 pm
That would be the code of conduct that supports tears and endless whimpering and whining.
Student Code of Conduct – ignored by the liberals that run the institution, just like their counterpart Libs that run the local government – only enforce what suits them or agrees with them, everything else is immaterial to them.
The plethora of affirmative action and other racist teachers in academia indoctrinating susceptible and gullible young minds into this hate spewing intolerant, potentially violent mind set is a real problem. One reason why international corporations avoid hiring Americans with less than a masters. They have found to their chagrin, that American BAS
are lazy, unskilled, yet have grandiosely inflated delusions of their self worth.Another benefit of the utterly misguided self esteem movement by hypersensitive snowflakes.
Well stated my friend!
Big words…very impressive! But I disagree with your central argument. It’s not that BAs are lazy and whatever else you called them. It’s that most people who just got their BAs are YOUNG. I mean no disrespect to your theory. But I’m 42 and I finally finished my degree in 2013 (I dropped out in the nineties and had a career for awhile), and I’m not THAT lazy.
Intolerance will not be tolerated. Will someone with a sap please go in there and stsrt smacking these clowns up side their heads
I was soo Issed poff last night watching this, i spent the entire night DREAMING that i was able to shape shift into a massive a@# red dragon (from adnd) and was able to swoop over the LOT OF THEM and burned them to a crisp.. THEY WANNA Pluck around with fire, i will show them what fire is really like……
Ituser: as soon as I read that I envisioned not only the fearsome and yet beloved ADND red dragons of my past but heard Benedict Cumberbatch’s Smaug lines from Hobbit movie lore “I am Fire. I am DEATH!” Lol. The past and future mingle and become as one.
After seeing that, I wouldn’t mind toasting a few snowflakes and ***** hats myself! This kind of (Soros organized ?!?) behavior should never be tolerated. Mass arrests should have happened.
ltuser February 2, 2017 at 4:51 pm
Would the Dragon Riders of Pern be considered illegal aliens if they showed up and taught the liddle chidlens how “Playing with Fire” really works?
Only if they stayed.. Otherwise they would be visitors!
And Tialin, glad you liked the visualization of what i said! 🙂
I have always loved the visualization LOTR did for Smaug!
Good one crusty! I love that series. R.I.P. Anne McCaffrey, you will always be in our hearts.
Soros paid terror squads getting the useful lemming idiots to follow allowed 500 paid for seats to go empty and raise the level of the unrest which I fear will erupt soon on a national scale. ***** police should have taken down a couple of those black clad radical revolutionaries to find out more details about their organization. A named terrorist, a 26-year-old man, who called himself Zombie was quoted in the San Fran Gate rag who stated “We’re anarchists.” Fellow protesters unfurled a banner reading, “This is war.”
You would think that the law would want to detain him and ask a few questions. Who knows with the proper info one may even find a path back to Bill Ayers.
I wouldn’t be surprised to find out that the cops were paid off or ORDERED to not interfere. THAT’s the only reason i can figure out why there were ARMED cops standing by and just WATCHING these rioters break stuff and toss fire bombs with impunity…
That guy that pepper sprayed that girl was an older- should know better- man…. When that first fire was lit, this whole thing went from a lawful assemblage to a riot. All rights for anybody there are suspended. When that first window was broken, the cops on the upper floor watching it should have taken careful aim with their rifle and dropped that person dead on the spot. There should have been cops on horse back riding right into the crowd- leave or get trampled. High pressure fire hoses. The National Guard quelled a riot at Kent. It can be done. It MUST BE DONE, or we are all DONE.
High pressure fire hoses are very effective. I am against putting horses in danger like that, because these crazy leftist rioters might have harmed them with knifes or something. but fire hoses would work.
I know, volunteer fire man.
Nah, keep the horses safe.
00 Buck from the rooftops will get the message through.
As a Navy man, the first time i ever held the nozel of a fire hoze during our training for shipboard life, i was almost knocked on MY butt, and that WAS even with 3 people behind me…
I really dislike stooping to their level and my wife can’t even hear another replay of the Judd/Madonna sound bite without wanting to puncture her ear drums:
SCUM (or whatever is lower than scum)!
Grim. How else do you think law and order will get restored if we DON’T stoop to their level and start smashing some heads in/shooting them like the rabid animals they act like?? Tell them to go take a time out? Ground them???
Ituser,
I’m just saying I don’t like to stoop to their low level.
I think we keep our resolve, keep enforcing the laws that exist and have been ignored, and use legal methods to break these extremist Democrat run cities and institutions first. Continue to exercise our 2nd Ammendment right, and if you are in a threatening position I support your right to protect yourself – absolutely! I, for one, will protect my family and me to my last breath.
I don’t look for any loss of life so I say Let them draw first blood to start the revolution/civil war. I think we all know which side will win.
Just like race-baiting, these pathetic excuses for human beings will do anything – with entire world watching their behavior. The longer it goes on like this, the more the conservatives and Republicans gain allies and converts from the middle/middle-left (those that show logic, reason, and mental stability) which grows our base.
The best form of defeat will come from their own behavior causing them to burn out as a group and become nothing – or they will fire a shot to start the Second Civil War.
Very interesting interview with Milo (on phone hours after it started and again with Carlson last night).
PART I
1. I believe the police were told to stand down – as in other school riots that have transpired in the last few years – all at leftist indoctrination camps and against anybody that doesn’t follow their propagandized ideologies.
2. I believe the institution’s “so-called” leaders did not want to even have a non-leftist on campus and told the group to pay of extra security in an effort to thwart their 1st Ammendment Right (hoping they would not bear cost).
3. Apologies by institution after – and casting blame elsewhere and on non-invited rioters – is more left lame-blame shifting of responsibility.
4. The Anti-American Criminal Liberal Union (ACLU) is hiding under their rock and not standing up to this gross afront to a legal resident’s Constitutional right.
That’s cause the ACLU only supports LIBERAL causes.. Never anything conservative.. HELL the local ACLU chapter were probably sitting at home CHEERING on these rioters…
Very interesting interview with Milo (on phone hours after it started and again with Carlson last night).
PART II
5. I agree – and I already listened to the liberals that say “no, you can’t do that” – with DJT that these institutions that take Federal $$$ can lose funding by this type of behavior. This also goes to the institution’s responsibility of safety and protection (limited to their campus) of their charges that pay unreasonable prices to live on campus and get a higher learning experience. [Texas Govenor withholding funds for a Sheriff Chief not complying with Federal immigration laws after her statement of saying she would not comply. Governor also said his next step is to start arresting and prosecuting violators].
6. Not a single left politico has spoken against this outrageous behavior and violence – silence is condoning – and both HRC and BHO are speaking on the subject in left code condoning it – the way they condone illegals voting and getting government benefits and such.
That is imo cause all those leftist politicos, WANT these riots to keep going on so it forces Trump into installing Marshal law, so they can all call him a DESPOT…
First, let me stipulate that if someone actually wants to hear disgusting Milo then he should be allowed to speak. Obviously they do since student groups are going to all the trouble to bring him on campus.
My question is why? Why would any conservative want to be represented by a gay girlie boy? The guy is absolutely disgusting and I hate that he is held up as an example of conservatism on college campuses and even by old guys on political websites.
I tried to watch him on Tucker’s show last night and made it to the point where he simpered in his queer little way as he mentioned his bedroom. UPCHUCK! Anyone who made it through that entire interview might want to check their man card.
@ Snowy: It’s the message, not the messenger!
Your comments about “a gay girlie boy” and “man card” are prime examples of why the socialist/progressive SJW’s rain on conservatives. You are a prime example of the knuckle-dragging stereotype SJW’s try to paint all conservative as being.
You should heed the advice that it is sometimes better to keep one’s mouth shut and be thought a fool than to open it and remove all doubt.
fly said: You should heed the advice that it is sometimes better to keep one’s mouth shut and be thought a fool than to open it and remove all doubt.
Queer is NOT a conservative message!
You should have followed your own advice, fly. There is NO WAY anyone can appease the left. John McCain, Miss Lindsey and the rest of the RINOs have been trying for years.
All of the left are either homos themselves or homo supporters, yet they didn’t cut girlie boy any slack just because he sleeps with other girlie boys.
Milo probably doesn’t have any real political beliefs. He’s making fun of both sides and enriching himself while he does it. Too bad some people can’t see that.
Snowy, I was going to comment that perhaps you were just ignorant about some things, but ignorance can be fixed with education. You, sir, are just plain stupid, and as everyone knows, you can’t fix stupid.
What a pathetic comment, fly. When you don’t have an argument then launch a personal attack. That’s what liberals always do so it’s not surprising.
By all means, real conservative and GOP speakers should be visiting these campuses to speak the truth. But, Milo is a provocateur. He isn’t conservative. He doesn’t believe what he’s saying. He’s a sideshow and he’s doing this for his 15 minutes of fame. Causing trouble for the sake of causing trouble is not a conservative value. Standing up to the left and telling the truth is.
“Hundreds of liberals rioted at the University of California Berkeley Wednesday night — burning stores, throwing Molotov cocktails and clashing with police.”
This is exactly what the SA and the Brown Shirts did to all political opposition when the NSDAP started its rise to power in 1920’s Germany. They broke up opposition rallies, and rioted against opposition speakers, and destroyed property.
Seems to me that progressive, socialist left is the actual reincarnation of the NAZI Brown Shirts and SA.
What makes me laugh is there is an article out there about a college professor claiming that what trump did with his “Illegal immigration halt Executive order” was just a test run as a precursor to a full on Coup..
BUT THE ONLY ONES i hear talking about staging a coup are the leftists demanding the military take OUT trump. Calling for his assassination etc..
PS Anyone else getting 15+ popups from this site today??
This is EXACTLY how the NAZIS took over Germany in the ’30s, AND the communists took over Russia in 1917…through violence, intimidation, persecution. NSDAP and NAZI are anacronyms for National SOCIALIST German Workers’ Party. The left fails to see they have as much in common with the Nazis as they do with the Communists.
There are two types of socialism:
1 – Economic Socialism or Communism and,
2 – National Socialism or Fascism.
Why do you think the Russians and Germans went at it so violently in WWII? It was like a ‘family’ argument, each fighting for their form of socialism.
The Weimar Republic was replent with all kinds of radical causes in the ’20s and ’30s, most involving socialism, which led to it’s decline. The one thing both forms of this ideology have in common is they lower everone to lowest common denominator. Given enough time, EVERY socialist society fails, mired in some nightmarish, distopian morass.
I’ve seen the quality of life and character of the people diminish in this country in my lifetime because of this lowering of our standards, which the liberals call “inclusivness”.
IF YOU ACCEPT EVERYTHING, YOU WILL ACCEPT ANYTHING!
Watched the ‘protest’ in Betkeley as it was happening. All the TV stations here in the Bay Area devoted most of their newscast to it (surprise, surprise). This is what you get after 4 generations of communist indoctrination in our public educational system.
By the way, who made this federal judge in Florida, president. He seems to think he has the right to ignore a presidental order on immigration and issue his own presidental order.
I sent an e-mail to the White House yesterday, congratulating President Trump on doing a great job so far and to keep it up. Finally a president who says what he means and means what he says! Would encourage orhers of a like mind to do the same. E-mail: president@whitehouse.gov
As for California, sooner or later the president is going to have to send in federal troops and declare martial law. Laws mean nothing if you don’t enforce them. The Berkeley ‘police’ prove that. A troop of girl scouts could have done a better job with those spoiled brats!
What made ME laugh on that judge’s order Enigma.. IS how he said “he had to hal what HE considered an Illegal and Unconstitutional decree.”
YET we have shown AMPLE proof that what Trump did was constitutional thus NOT ILLEGAL…
ENIGMA
Your first comment was well done and has validity to the current situation. Federal troops are out of the equation. The first step is to repeal bad legislation and the number of laws on the book Then faily enforce the ones remaining so all feel that the police are not going after one group or another.
Next the real trouble makers need to be identified and if caught doing crimes arrested & fined or if it is violent arrested and criminally convicted.
All protects are to be licensed. Many are young and dumb easy to stir up emotionally. There are many fragmented groups who were terrified at Trump’s win. The environmentalists are not concerned with a speaker. The want to kill fossil fuels as they mistakenly think the solar etc can just take over. It can’t. But the authorities need to show an united face.
Yes Trump is very new and he is not a lawyer. The order was too quick and would have been better as a trial balloon. What his real target should be H1B visas. There he can cut the number by 4/5ths. American workers labor under a heavy debt load the the Indian students do not have. The tech companies are vulnerable and there are a lot of tech workers who have been rifted. Or never get the chance. Next is very high speed broad band into the hither lands paid by the government and therefore publicly owned.
