New separate thread because it's not so random anymore (and really never was).
The site of the Berkeley Free Speech Movement (i.e. Berkeley) has become the latest and most violent leftist protest of Milo Yiannopoulos' speaking tour of college campuses.

Backstory on Milo (basically a Deplorable Faggot):
[video=youtube;mA-pyjJI11I]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mA-pyjJI11I[/video]
His initial great sin was being the first to report on the Gamergate journalism scandal, shattering the attempted news blackout and signaling the end of a corrupt leftist journo clique's ability to silence or spin such stories unopposed (even in a smaller corner of the news media like tech). Even worse, he helped open the eyes of non-corrupt leftists to what was happening.
The regressive left hates him and wants him silenced, 1AM be damned:
At the University of Washington, a protester was shot after he attacked someone trying to attend Milo's speech:

That brings us back to Berkeley, which did the same security fee dance:

Milo and others claim the police presence seemed passive in light of the obvious violence going down (and, surely, the expectations indicated by the high security fee, right?). Dunno how true that is; but as in previous events there's video of protesters destroying property and assaulting people with impunity.

Some backstory: Multiple campus administrations, instead of upholding their duty to the 1st Amendment, have sided against free speech and attempted to shut Milo down.
The current favorite tactic is an exhorbitant "security fee" because of the threat of leftist violence. Even after the fee is settled, it might be jacked up by thousands of dollars only a few days in advance, long after the talk has already been agreed to and the schedule is set.
IMO the fee is almost always a censorship tactic. In Depaul's case it was proven so, because even after the university was paid, protestors completely disrupted the event while security stood around doing absolutely nothing about it:

What happened at UC Davis was even worse:
That's right: Instead of ensuring the speaker's and listeners' safety by cracking down on the violent protestors, the university (and police) are trying to shift responsibility onto the students holding the event. So if you wonder why you've repeatedly seen protestors on campus assault people with impunity, it's because the campus admins don't want to stop it. The violence serves their short term (and shortsited) goals of censorship and ideological purity.
