    Official Berkeley Communist Riot thread

    Unprecedented measures at Berkeley for conservative writer's speech, from pepper spray to emotional counseling for students

    To see what free speech looks like in 2017 at the birthplace of the famed movement, consider the elaborate preparations underway for a talk Thursday by a conservative writer.

    Ben Shapiro isn’t nearly as controversial as some right-wing speakers who have roiled the campus over the last year.

    Nonetheless, UC Berkeley has told students that counseling is available to those stressed by all the commotion. A large swath of the campus will be closed off, including the plaza where the free speech movement began in the 1960s. Hundreds of thousands of dollars have been spent on security, and police can now use pepper spray on protesters after a 20-year-old ban was lifted by the City Council this week.

    Shapiro’s appearance is a key test for Berkeley, which has been hit by a series of violent clashes between far-left and far-right agitators that have sparked soul-searching in this liberal community about the line between protest and criminal behavior. Berkeley has become a favorite spot for far-right demonstrators to speak out, knowing they can get attention and push buttons in enemy territory.

    The Thursday event marks the start of a parade of right-wing speakers who may be coming to campus over the next month. They include former White House chief strategist Stephen K. Bannon and right-wing provocateur Milo Yiannopoulos, who announced that they will appear as part of a “Free Speech Week” event on campus.

    When is Ben Shapiro supposed to start?
    There are only two things we should fight for. One is the defense of our homes and the other is the Bill of Rights. War for any other reason is simply a racket.

    It will most likely be uneventful. Antifa and the like are cowards.... they won't want to face police opposition.

    I'm all for North Korea annexing UCB, if the kiddos really want real communism. There's likely a premium on huwite whores - boys, girls, and others - in Kim's magic kingdom. Yeah, Berkley can call it the "stretching our horizons" transfer, if it gets too tough to sell parents.

    Right now, the protesters are doing the call and response speaking, where someone says a short sentence and the crowd repeats it. Pretty creepy and cult-like stuff.

    They have had a massive police presence all day, but that's a waste of money. A skeleton crew of cops could take care of things until dusk, when the criminal element starts to come out.

    I'd be in stitches, if this bull$#@! wasn't so common now. They're surrounded by armed, (campus?) riot police and think nothing of it. Oh yeah, they might throw some dog poop or tomatoes, but at the end of the night, they still go home for dinner. Only in Murka.

    According to one of the feeds, a girl was holding a "free speech" sign and a couple of other girls took the sign then head slammed her on the asphalt, knocking her out. Have to assume the assaulters were probably Antifa.

    Has anyone else noticed this trend that folks skewing towards the left-end of the spectrum tend to be physically revolting from a genetic perspective? I doubt anyone believes their genes should propagate through time.

    The left isn't sending their best, folks. Or they are, in which case we should pity these poor disabled souls.
