Think of all the things 600,000 dollars in cold, hard cash could buy. Track chairs for veterans; new homes for hurricane victims; tons of books for disadvantaged kids with no access to libraries. But, no. Instead, that’s reportedly the amount of money it’s costing to secure UC Berkeley and the special little snowflakes who have zero self-control when it comes to diversity of thought challenging their dogmatic worldviews. So who were they being “protected” from? Well, scary conservative commentator, Ben Shapiro, that’s who.

The "birthplace of free speech" is paying $600K on security bc students can't handle hearing a 5'9" Jewish man's opinions. #BenAtBerkeley

Yeah, Shapiro is a white supremacist, fascist Nazi…or something.

Yup, all of those LEOs were required because Berkeley’s Special Snowflake Brigade—armed with spittle and F-bombs—have no control over their emotions; they blame not themselves, but Shapiro for triggering their violent, intolerant reactions. VINTAGE Berkeley.

Just found out @benshapiro is coming to @UCBerkeley today and honestly I've never been more scared pic.twitter.com/3HdJPGe5rp

Ok, she jests. But that’s a pretty accurate impression of the “pathetic, lying, stupid jackasses” to whom Shapiro refers.

So what were the cupcakes so afraid of? Well, the truth:

Pretty frightening stuff, eh?

Meanwhile, here are a few highlights of the goings-on around Berkeley heading into last nights’ oh-so-dangerous oration by the ever-so-menacing, yarmulke-wearing Jewish dude:

“Who do we hate?”
“What’s his name!”
“Who?”
“We really don’t know!"#BenAtBerkeley @benshapiro pic.twitter.com/QVGUyCtJgQ

Not the “sharperiest” knives in the drawer, are they. Or maybe they’re under the impression that Shapiro’s the heir to the evil SharpieCorp.

Fact check: false. Sorry, no. “Hate speech”—a made-up leftist phrase meant to silence speech they dislike—is, indeed, free speech. But valiant effort to shut down the scary Ben Shapiro. Here’s your Participant award.

Ever wonder what blatant, in-your-face anti-Semitism looks like? Behold Tariq Nasheed, King of Slander:

Suspected white supremacist Ben Shapiro, who tries to mask his racist rhetoric by claiming to be jewish, is in Berkeley now #BenAtBerkeley

Pretty tolerant, I’d say, kinda like these folks a few days ago:

Let me beat you with this club whilst I scream “Love Trumps Hate!!!”

<Insert laugh track here>

By the way, this, uh, dude appeared on Tucker Carlson pre-Shapiro chat. Don’t bother trying to keep up with his “logic.” Believe me, it’ll just lead to a day of heavy drinking and a nasty hangover tomorrow morning:

Folks, THIS is the New Left in America. They are devoid of common sense, and fraught with hypocrisy and non sequiturs. They’ve hijacked the Democrat party, which is now as un-democratic a party as it gets. They are now full-blown, out-of-the-closet Communists. They—and by “they” I mean AntiFa and their ilk, not liberals like this guy—arrogantly fancy themselves the deciders of what is, and is not, acceptable speech, and of who does, and who does not, get to speak (see the nitwits over at ESPN for further reading). They believe that our rights are not inherent, but rather come from man, specifically THEM. And they believe that they are justified in using violence to impose their will. Despite Nancy Pelosi’s sudden, and overdue, ruminations otherwise, they are NOT the fringe of the Democrat Party; they ARE the George Soros/Hillary Clinton-approved militant wing of the Democrat Party who will flog us all into submission, because hey, the means justify the utopian ends. Or so they think.

Here’s another reminder of just who’s funding this domestic terrorism:

Seriously, Cupcake Nation: if you don’t like certain speech—truth bomb alert!!!—DON’T LISTEN TO IT. It’s really that simple. Go sip a latte. Watch “It.” Play Dungeons and Dragons in your basement with your little sister. But dammit, STOP with the attacks on free speech. People like me have had enough of your fascist, free speech-assaulting antics, and it’s far past time we push back. And were I the city of Berkeley—or any city in America for that matter suffering an infestation of AntiFa cockroaches—I’d impose an ordinance that requires repayment of any expenses the behavior of these domestic terrorists causes to be incurred. EVERY expense, including law enforcement, security for those practicing their first amendment rights, property damage…goofy counseling services for the perpetually offended. Until there are consequences above and beyond a couple of months of probation for these participation-trophy crybabies, there will be no end to their domestic terrorism.

Look, if we lose our first amendment rights, we’re done as a nation. And that’s the very goal the follicular-challenged, basement-dwelling losers who call themselves “AntiFa” want: the death of America as we know her, replaced by oppressive communism with authoritarians like Hillary Clinton…

…and Bernie Sanders in charge of every aspect of our lives. And I’m thankful every day for brave, unrelenting voices like Ben Shapiro’s for exposing their dangerous agenda. And an electorate that booted Queen Hillary to the curb. Here’s hoping Pennywise entices Queen Hill, and her fascist army lead by George Soros, back into the sewer from whence they came.
