I'm not trying to justify their behavior or support them, but what exactly do you guys expect? Generations of people doing sit ins and putting flowers behind policemen's ears has got them jack shit. The reality is that change comes from chaos. Always has, always will.

Also, Milo is a huge sack of flaming shit. The man has no soul.

I expect the self-described "anti-violence" and "anti-bullying" party to not be massive hypocrites. Think that's pretty reasonable.

Having lived in the Bay Area off and on for quite a long time I would venture to guess the people burning stuff and what not is a small group of radical anarchists. They are by no means "anti-violence" and I would put money on it that none of them are Cal students.

and again... Milo is a putrid human being...

Milo is pure genius at exposing and holding up to the light the childishness, hypocrisy, silliness, ridiculousness, irrationality, narrow-mindedness, intolerance, and utter idiocy of the snowflakes and radical leftists... and does so effortlessly. That's what pisses your type off about him so much: he dares to point out that the king has no clothes and makes the rest of us laugh doing so.

Side note: Keith Oldermann's Resistance show on youtube is gold. This guy went off the deep end something fierce lol. People like him are going to make sure the Republicans win again in the midterms and 2020.

Keith Olbermann accused The Don of ethnic clensing....good God this guy.....so dramatic lol

Ashamed that like myself, he is the son of German immigrants.

 

[IrishLax]

I mean this seriously... for all the so-called violence and hate and oppression of these people experience, when was the last time you ever saw someone try to violently shut down a Black Lives Matter rally? We saw a video today of a Black Lives Matter rally calling for the murder and property taking of white people. No one tried to stop them from assembling or saying their piece.

But every time someone like Milo... who is vile and a troll, for sure... or their ilk tries to have any kind of engagement they try to forcibly shut them down. Same way Trump supporters never went to Hillary rallies protesting, but Black Lives Matter & Co. tried to forcibly disrupt many Trump rallies and incited multiple confrontations. "But Trump was the one inciting violence against the protesters!"... no, that is fake news. And there are videos that prove it. There was much more violence and instigation against Trump supporters than the other way around.

 

[GATTACA!]

Meanwhile, these people you claim are "rioting for the establishment" are heavily made up of people that just voted for a socialist from VT as their presidential candidate, not the pant suit establishment that won it.

and again... Milo is a putrid human being...

I would love to see an honest survey of those involved in these protests. I bet the % that actually voted in the primaries and/or the general would be extremely low.

 

[Wild Bill]

To oppose the alt-right, nationalist movement.

The alt right loathes Milo. They can't get over the gay thing. Or Jewish thing. Or sleeps with black dudes thing. And he's not American.

I don't understand this sentiment at all regarding Milo and it's one that's commonly trumpeted among those to the right of myself. Milo is in no way, shape, or form a "genius." He's nothing more than a troll playing off people's emotions to bring attention to himself - the Skip Bayless of politics, if you will. There's a difference between lampooning the hypocrisy of many on the far left - something I think is done extremely effectively by Kat Timpf over at National Review, btw - and being controversial for controversy's sake.

Oh, Milo definitely trolls the snowflakes & far left. The difference between him and Skip is that Skip is insecure, petty, and usually humorless, while Milo is often comic genius. He has a knack for getting his targets to absolutely lose their minds and show what irrational, intolerant twits they are, then makes us laugh at how easily he exposes all their hypocrisies, inconsistencies, intellectual dishonesty, etc. He's trolling and he's often abrasive, but he can also be hilarious.

I think all these protests are going to backfire for the Democrat Party. I am not saying they are behind them, but most people know these protestors are far left where many in the middle and right see the party going or already there. Heck, a Socialist almost won the nomination.

Prime example for what I am talking about was some conservative talk show host asked for Democrats to call in with their support of the woman's march on Washington. The calls filled three hours and 99% were Democrats who for the most part voted for Hillary. After witnessing the post-election crying, they all stated they would be leaving the party. Yes, it could have been a setup, but that was a lot of callers they would have had to arrange to fill the show.

Anderson Cooper broke into his show at 6:11 pm for an on scene CNN correspondent, Kyung Lah, with live update. She mentioned that Milo Y.... is a self described "troll". She then got pushed back as she was describing the protesters as "anarchists". Cooper tried to interrupt her with questions but the transmission was terminated (CNN red tumbling square appeared in the center of the video then faded to black.)

She was back about 4 hours later with a more detailed report. She noted that while Milo Y... is gay, he bashes gays and the students believe he should not be permitted to say so. She commented on the irony of the 1960's bastion of free speech silencing those they don't agree with.

She added that the campus police (in riot gear) estimated the crowd at 1,500 students with the addition of about "150 known agitators" who were the violent ones. I was curious how the campus people knew who they were when they were masked and wore hoodies. She showed shattered plate glass windows in the student center and fire damage on site. I only hear mention of one arrest, a protester that broke through the campus police line and through the barriers to enter the student center. He was shown face down on the floor be handcuffed. The campus police did fire tear gas at the window smashers.

 

[GATTACA!]

Reports are going around that someone was beaten to death by these "protestors". There's video of the man being beaten with a shovel.

This is disgusting.

 

[NorthDakota]

Donald Trump tweets this morning about how the solution to situations like the one last night may be taking away Federal funds. I think pretty much everyone who is resonant can agree to that.

 

[wizards8507]

A girl in a MAGA hat was tear-gassed live on TV by some old white rioter.

Not too familiar with the rule that was put in place. From the few sentences about it on CNN, it doesn't seem like a great thing for the environment and seems like a way for businesses to save some money (while neglecting said environment).

40 or so years ago, they would have demonstrated for the right of a gay man to speak on that campus...and it would have been far less violent...

Of course the irony is that they won't let him speak and attack others who think differently than them because they think they are standing up for tolerance.

Have you guys heard of this group ANTIFA? It appears to be a militant arm of the SJW left.

Funded by George Soros. Shocker

It's not really an "organization". It's a loose knit group that arose out of the hardcore punk scene in the US and the hardcore punk and soccer scenes in Europe as a direct reaction to the rise of Nazi skinhead gangs showing up at those events. The most famous institution associated with this being the German soccer team FC St. Pauli. Most of the time people who want to be associated with this "movement" slap a patch on a denim or leather jacket, drink beer and go to hardcore shows.

I take it you don't appreciate the irony that the anti-fascists are out violently shutting down peaceful campus speeches? That's what fascists do.

Honestly, I'm not too concerned about the 100 or so people who reacted violently. As to "anti-fascists" reacting violently, if someone punched this Milo clown in the face I wouldn't loose any sleep.

A terribly misunderstood President and Attorney General.

Thanks. I realize some people can't distinguish between how the actions of a handfull of rabble rousers and those an erratic President might effect the world in radically different ways.

That's your perogative if you think Schumer and Milo are on the same level and equally deserving of a good punch in the face.

 

[wizards8507]

Do you hate Milo because he's gay, because he's Jewish, or because he's a foreigner? Either way, I hear Stormfront is recruiting.

And, for the record, Schumer is FAR more deserving of protest than Milo. Unlike Milo, Schumer actually has the power to cause harm to the American people. Milo just makes dick jokes.

He's a loudmouth jerkoff. He'd fit right in with those guys. Lots of closeted homosexuals within their ranks.
