Last night, an event featuring Breitbart.com editor Milo Yiannopoulos at the University of California Berkeley was cancelled. Masked, black clad rioters claiming to be anti-fascists threatened lives and destroyed property. Milo is currently touring with his “Dangerous Faggot” show.

Milo Yiannopoulos, for those who don’t know, is gay, Greek-born, British and anti-political correctness. Although there are those who consider him an alt-right extremist. To me, he seems more of a basic free speech advocate. You know the whole “Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness” (Declaration) and First Amendment (Constitution) concept. He is a more speech, rather than less speech kind of guy. More words, not forbidden words. He is anti-Social Justice Warriors.

Listen to Milo in his own words and then we will discuss further:

Violence is never justified. Milo is right. They are conflating ideas with action.

Now, Conservative, Libertarian and non-Social Justice Warrior types have been shouted down on college campuses for the last decade. The Progressive Left and Social Justice Warriors have upped the ante with violence and destruction.

I was not clear on why the Berkeley students shut down free speech or what they want. So, I went to Reason.com because they are Reason, right? I found this in the first paragraph of the Reason post:

Berkeley is burning tonight: the university campus that birthed the Free Speech Movement played host to a despicable display of violence and censorship Wednesday evening that culminated in the cancellation of a planned speech by controversial Breitbart tech editor Milo Yiannopoulos.

Ummm. Dear Reason: I am pretty sure the Founding Fathers birthed the Free Speech Movement about 200 years before the egg heads in Northern California. Sincerely, Me.

Also, from Reason:

Anti-Yiannopoulos protesters wearing black scarves over their faces hurled fireworks at the building where the alt-right leader was supposed to speak. They also tore down barricades and smashed windows. They used gasoline to start a significant fire on the street that threatened to engulf a nearby tree, and forced police to push people back. Authority figures deployed rubber bullets and tear gas in an attempt to control the situation. A student who attended the event told me that it seemed like the majority of the violent protesters were not students, but older, masked rioters from the “antifa” movement.

Antifa means Anti-fascists. The anti-fascists want to tell us what we can and cannot think. The anti-fascists want to tell us what we can and cannot read or hear.

This happened at a college campus. This happened at a place where knowledge is supposed to be imparted. Truth should be uncovered and discussed. This is happening at a lot of colleges and universities in the United States today. If you have a student and you are paying college tuition or taking out loans, this is what you are paying for. Congratulations and take a look at what you get for your money.

The “antifa” and Social Justice Warriors are the new “Thought Police”. These are Fascists in the mold of Hitler’s Brown Shirts. Disrupting gatherings and inciting violence.

Business Insider is reporting that President Donald Trump threatening to cut federal funding to Berkeley because of the violent riots last night. I have an idea. Parents of the United States of America don’t even let your offspring apply to colleges that shut down free speech, have safe spaces or make students “check their privilege”. Send them to a Junior College and maybe a trade school.

Today, U.C. Berkeley shuts down Milo Yiannopolous. Tomorrow, they may shut down the parents. They want your money. They don’t want you.
