This is why Trump should double down. Have Hillary tried, convicted and thrown into prison.
Go on the offensive.

A protest at UC Berkeley turned fiery and violent Wednesday night, shutting down a scheduled speech by right-wing provocateur Milo Yiannopoulos.
The Breitbart News editor was set to deliver a speech inside a UC Berkeley campus building but hundreds of protesters began throwing fireworks and pulling down the metal barricades police set up to keep people from rushing into the building. Windows were smashed and fires were set outside the building as masked protesters stormed it, and at 6 p.m., one hour before his scheduled speech was to begin, police decided to evacuate Yiannopoulos for his own safety.
The Berkeley Police Department said people threw bricks, smoking objects, and fireworks at police officers. University police locked down all buildings and ordered a shelter in place, and later fired rubber pellets into the crowd of protesters who defied orders to leave the area. Police called in support from other law enforcement agencies and warned protesters that they might use tear gas.
“This is what tolerance looks like at UC Berkeley,” said Mike Wright, a Berkeley College Republican member said as smoke bombs went off around him. Someone threw red paint on him. “It’s sad.”

Nazi fascists.
The terrorists won that day and the school will do nothing to prosecute those who engaged in violence.
Can anyone ever name a time when a liberal speaker was not allowed to speak because conservatives acted this way? Because I can’t think of one.
This is why Trump should double down. Have Hillary tried, convicted and thrown into prison.
Go on the offensive.
smoking objects..
Marlboro? Camel? Newport?
They’re all doing meth right now and patting each other on the backs, showing their “war” wounds.
I hope somebody sells the whole campus a bad batch :)
THANK YOU...!!
Look at the demonization of Milo, and the exoneration of the rioters.
While exoneration may be a bit inaccurate, the emphasis here is on Milo causing this.
That is shockingly slanted coverage.
I don't think Milo is really interested in actually giving a speech in as much as standing back and watching leftists be hypocrites and impose the very fascism they accuse their opponents of.
I am afraid these liberals are cruisin for a bruisin. Not sure how it goes down. But cancelling speaking events like this is unsustainable.
It’s a war with leftist scum who want to destroy America.
Maybe they did, but our side is winning the war! Just keep working, doing what you can. I worked as a volunteer from May last year until the election; I saw a groundswell of folks, who never were involved before, come forward. Decent folks have had enough!
If there ever were one, our friends in the media would never let us forget it.
These “protestors” need to be identified. If they are students, then their federal student loans need to be cancelled.
The Democrat Thug Party.
"This is what fascism looks like!"
