Breitbart Provocateur Milo Yiannopoulos Is Shouted Down At Uc Davis But Gets The Last Word

... hundred vociferous protesters succeeded in shutting down an appearance by Milo Yiannopoulos, the puerile 33-year-old Breitbart writer who is best known for getting banned from Twitter after leading a charge of racist harassment against “Ghostbusters” actress Leslie Jones. This was supposed to have been a stop on Yiannopoulos’s “Dangerous Faggot” college campus tour.  He was to have been joined by Martin Shkreli, the ethics-challenged pharmaceutical entrepreneur who jacked up the price of an AIDS drug before being indicted on federal securities fraud charges. Last week, Shkreli was suspended from Twitter after harassing Lauren Duca, the journalist whose Teen Vogue essay, “Trump is Gaslighting America,” went viral. For anyone who has followed the debates over campus political correctness, Yiannopoulous offers nothing new. His appeal seems to be a matter of packaging; he is a flamboyant gay Brit who wears jewelry, makeup and Gucci accessories, and carries a gold lame backpack. I guess this is what passes for ...

... intention to use the Berkeley College Republican’s event to launch their campaign targeting the undocumented student community on our campus. Here is the article. There are concerns that he will be employing the strategies of using pictures and personal information of Cal students during his speech which, as you know, is simultaneously being live-streamed therefore making these images widely available and subsequently putting students at risk. Also, please know other targeted groups on our campus have experienced Horowitz’ tactic of publicizing the names and pictures of individuals on posters throughout campus property and there is a likelihood that there will be Horowitz-backed posters pasted throughout our campus tomorrow publicizing the Milo event in conjunction with targeted individual’s names. BCR has expressed their position condemning these tactics and, in fact, have been victimized themselves. We are deeply concerned for all students’ safety and ability to pursue their education here at Cal beyond Milo’s speech. At the bottom of this email are ...

Milo Yiannopoulos—a noted troll who's known for, among other things, fanning the flames of a misogynistic attack on actress Leslie Jones and calling rape culture a "fantasy" —had been invited to speak at UCLA by the university's Bruin Republicans group. Now, the February 2 event has been canceled, according to the Daily Bruin. In a statement released on the Bruin Republican's Facebook page , the group says that, for one thing, they couldn't "accommodate the long list of requirements that were set forth by Milo's team." (Did he ask for a bowl of M&M's? With the brown M&M's picked out? ) The group also turned the tables and said that they were worried for their safety, as "protesters at Milo's events can become violent, threatening the safety of our members, ...

Yes, Milo Yiannopoulos Has The Right To Speak At Poly. That Doesn’t Mean He Should

... HILARY SWIFT The New York Times. Right-wing provocateur and Breitbart editor Milo Yiannopoulos brings his act to Cal Poly next week. That’s triggered calls to ban him from campus or, at the very least, to change the format of his speech to a panel discussion. The university has agreed to neither. From a legal standpoint, that’s the right move. “We have a responsibility to protect free speech,” Cal Poly attorney Dawn Theodora told the San Luis Obispo Human Relations Commission on Tuesday night. We agree; a public university should not pick and choose who is allowed to speak on campus. However, the university ignored that responsibility in 2009 when award-winning author and journalist Michael Pollan was scheduled to lecture on sustainable agriculture. At the behest of the chairman of Harris Ranch Beef Co. — a potential Cal Poly donor — the format of Pollan’s appearance was changed to a panel ...

... hammers and other items from masked people in the crowd — tensions increased. Protesters “began throwing bricks and paint toward police and others in the crowd,” police said in a statement. "Seattle has a long, proud tradition of speaking up and speaking out, but we will not tolerate violence of any kind, “ said Seattle Mayor Ed Murray. In a similar statement, Gov. Jay Inslee said, “I condemn in the strongest possible terms any act of violence, no matter in what name it’s being waged.” The Democrat added that the freedom of speech applies “equally to all of us — even to the people whose ideas we find abhorrent.”. Yiannopoulos, after hearing of the shooting, chose to go on with his speech.
