CNN reporter kept referring to it as "people dancing"
I'm watching right now on CNN and they are dancing in the street to music. Apparently Milo was cancelled so they are celebrating.

Of course at the same time a heavily armed number of officers are warning everyone to disburse and pointing weapons at the crowd from an elevated position.

Some seem to be celebrating by beating people unconscious. That is not acceptable and one day people on one side or the other are going to die. Probably not a good idea.

Nearly did the last time. In this regard it almost makes you wish we could go back 50 years. Those hippies knew how to protest.

Lol...a RightWing dude holding a speech at UC Berkeley. Doesn't need rocket science to expect this not running..uhm..smoothly :)
On that note, I can't wait for Trump visiting Europe, say Germany or the Netherlands. (Obviously he won't, ever).
His face will likely be covered in cake and rotten eggs before he even steps down the plane.

Well, the left has been claiming that speech they dislike is violence, so describing violence against people they dislike as dancing is simply more of the same. Plus, bonus points for describing cops as heavily armed and threatening.

Nothing says stopping oppression like silencing free speech.


Oh wait....

I think the horrible bastard should have spoken, but I think the protests are well deserved. Well, not the violent instigators that showed up (Berkeley and Oakland have a consistent history of those fuckers showing up for every organized, peaceful event. Ask me how I know).

At least, he wasn't dis-invited from Berkeley like Bill Maher was, lol. what the hell, dummies....

I agree with a few tidbits of Milo, but overall disagree. However I'm actually VERY glad he is going out to college campus'. One of the biggest problems in our poltiics is the lack of debate. The lack of the ability for 2 sane, rational people to have a disagreement and walk away simply saying "I disagree with their opinion, however, I gave my thoughts, and they gave their thoughts". Milo is a perfect example of this. He might be an extreme side, but he holds no shame and doesn't try to keep liberals out from his speeches. They are free to come in and ask questions or debate as well.

This protesting is simply trying to silence, and it's not healthy for the economy, it's not healthy for our future, and it's not healthy for the future of kids in school that are THIS level of retard.

Keep in mind, all these protests you're seeing... Did it do anything to stop present Trump from being elected? I didn't even vote for the dumbass and I still shake my head knowing that it's the democrats who lost, not the Republicans that won.

Agree with you. Violence is a completely unacceptable response to somebody expressing their opinion.

I'm wondering how Trump will react to an egging, because thats definitely going to be happening when he comes to the UK.

NSFW chanting in link!

Now I'm not saying they should've gone and rioted over a cucking funt defecating stupid crap from his mouth....

but I understand.

(to very loosely paraphrase a Chris Rock punchline about OJ Simpson)


Personally I would just boycott him but given his Gamergate support and pandering to Breitbart readers my reaction to this is

Meh....

How do you know :)

After the protest they will return to their gentrified apartments in Emeryville and fall asleep to the soothing rumble of passing Capitol Corridor trains, and renew their strength in the morning with Peet's coffee (because Starbucks is too fvcking comformist)

Yes of course, and the burning vehicle is just for marshmallows?

Yep we have to use violence to stop any kind of free speech from conservatives, it's the progressive lefts way.

Why lie, you'll probably use something far more dangerous than eggs.
Nope. I'll be happy with eggs.

That said I'd not be surprised when the hardcore turn up and things get ugly. Trump has a peculiar talent of making pretty much everyone over here dislike him (apart from some UKIP supporters).
