In perhaps the most infamous incident of stifling free speech, residents of Berkeley, CA took to the streets to violently rip apart their own community in response to a scheduled speech at UC Berkeley featuring conservative speaker Milo Yiannopoulos. Citizens vandalized property, set fires, and carried out acts of violence against one another.
The riot got so out of hand, the speech had to be cancelled out of safety concerns. Liberal UC Berkeley successfully demonstrated that tolerance and inclusion only works for them when the message falls in line with certain beliefs.
Not everyone on our staff loves Milo either, but c’mon…is burning stuff down over a speaker that you do not have to listen to, the way to go?
