University police said that a crowd of roughly 1,500 people had toppled light poles, started fires and hurled objects at officers before the event. Security had been heightened, as students had announced demonstrations against Yiannopoulos.
As the violence escalated Wednesday night, police placed the campus on lockdown and advised students to shelter in place, then ordered demonstrators multiple times to leave the area.
The university and its police department had placed “dozens of additional police officers” on duty and attempted to use various methods of crowd control, to no avail. “It was simply impossible to maintain order given the level of threat, disruption, and violence,” the administration said in a statement.www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/milo-yiannopoulos-speech-at-berkeley-canceled-amid-violent-protests_us_58911132e4b02772c4ea10d0?2by2guylrwdujcq5mi&&This isn't protesting. It's rioting. It's unlawful. It's ignorant. Protest all you want...it's your right. But violence, attempted assault, destruction of property...that's plain wrong and ignorant behavior.

Anyone else find it odd that when Obama won and the Right (approx. half the electorate) was angry, frustrated, and frightened, (deservedly so as it turns out), ADULTS acted like ADULTS and wrote to their congressmen, peacefully dissented, argued and debated sensibly, and most importantly, formed the Tea Party, a ground-up-grass roots movement, not a Soros funded with $90 million bunch of criminal paid thieves and hoods?
Is anyone else so freakin sick of arm bands, safety pins, safe spaces, protesting when not knowing why, riots, crime, assault, and idiots wearing their junk on their heads?
The baby whiner Democrats in Washington are now boycotting votes for the cabinet and starting protests (again, with no point or reason)wherever they can get an audience of idiots to listen.
I hope they lose (and they will) another large quantity of seats around the country, fed, local, state, as Americans are already fed-up and shocked that they STILL don't get why they lost and seemingly will never figure it out.

It's my generations fault. For some reason they decided it was better to coddle their kids and reward them for things they didn't do/didn't earn. This has led to a generation of entitled whiny brats. |
