    Breitbart Senior Editor MILO’s event at UC Berkeley tonight has been evacuated following violence and several fires started by masked “anti-fascist” protesters.

    UPDATE 2: “I have been evacuated from the UC Berkeley campus after violent left-wing protestors tore down barricades, lit fires, threw rocks and Roman candles at the windows and breached the ground floor of the building,” said MILO in a post on Facebook. “My team and I are safe. But the event has been cancelled. I’ll let you know more when the facts become clear. One thing we do know for sure: the Left is absolutely terrified of free speech and will do literally anything to shut it down.”

    UPDATE: MILO’s show at UC Berkeley has been cancelled and evacuated following reports of increased violence and several fires started by protesters.

    MILO’s event at UC Berkely was cancelled and the venue evacuated over an hour before it was scheduled to begin, after masked left-wing protesters stormed the venue, overturning police barricades and lighting fires.

    I have been evacuated from the UC Berkeley campus after violent left-wing protestors tore down barricades, lit fires, threw rocks and Roman candles at the windows and breached the ground floor of the building. My team and I are safe. But the event has been cancelled. I'll let you know more when the facts become clear. One thing we do know for sure: the Left is absolutely terrified of free speech and will do literally anything to shut it down.

    Multiple fires have been recorded on video, and police are attempting to subdue the crowd with rubber bullets. Police have advised members of the public to stay away from the area surrounding the venue.

    A live video stream of the protest and coverage can be found here. ABC7’s reporter stated earlier that there have not yet been any attempts to put out the fire, and that police had withdrawn from the balcony above the crowd where they had previously been stationed.

    According to the reporter, police issued a dispersal order to the crowd, declaring it an unlawful assembly, but they have not yet attempted to move the protesters out of the plaza.

    In a comment, MILO said “At Berkeley, once the home of the free speech movement, leftists tried to set a building on fire to stop me speaking. Leftist violence is now completely out of control. Soon it’ll be the conservatives that’ll need safe spaces … with armed guards and fire extinguishers!”

    Well, almost anyone can agree with that. But I'm glad they shut it down under the circumstances - fire is not something you mess with.

    How naive are you altright cucks anyway? Isn't it clear that this was a false flag crypto-Trump "protest", designed to make his coming coup slide thru easier? Who else would riot a WHOLE HOUR ahead of time, instead of aiming when it counts?

    UC Berkeley thinks it's a great idea to break windows, burn American flags, & shut down free speech events... to protest fascism.

    Lunatics.

    I agree, look at Breitbart basement-dwelling fanboys hit 1200 comments in about 5 minutes, showing how this whipped up the emotions. This is just the grease that Trump needs to throw on his fire, to overtake America. It couldn't have come at a more convenient time for him, when his Supreme Court justice was about to be stalled. We must resist!!

    UPDATE 6: Antifa protesters beat male and female MILO attendees in corner with fists and flags while shouting “f*ck you,” and “racists.”

    UPDATE 5: Fire alarms continue to sound as windows around university are smashed. Attendee claims that protesters are “hostile” to both MILO fans and press.

    UPDATE 4: Protest ring-leader calls out “are we gonna leave?” as protesters scream “NO!”

    UPDATE 3: Attendee tells BuzzFeed that police have announced they will take further action soon, as protesters pose for selfies by fires and continue violence.

    Clear signs of a professional operation, paid for by Trump operatives no doubt. I bet all the "ring-leaders" will "curiously" be unidentified and escape charges.

    First of all get over yourselves. No one cares about Milo protesters except Milo

    Second of all this is while a new administration is constantly lying, coining the term "alternative facts" and threatening the press...

    Anyone who cares about free speech MUST care about this. Trump will shut everyone down, if sees it can be done.

    Not sure how this was different from much of the last administration (or the one(s) before that, though admittedly Clinton had enough gravitas not to spy on the media).

    Cal Poly yesterday had a SWAT team "on call", but I guess Berkeley misunderestimated the conflict. Or the hour-early strike got them off guard with their pants down.

    UPDATE 11: Reporter: “Police appear ready for protest developments.”

    UPDATE 10: Extra police cars head to college as backup reportedly called.

    UPDATE 9: Police continue to fire rubber bullets at protesters.

    UPDATE 8: Police order protesters to leave area as they sing N.W.A.’s anti-police song “F*ck the Police.”

    UPDATE 7: BuzzFeed reporter claims MILO fan had his MAGA hat set on fire by protesters before being beaten.

    WTF??? You have people starting multiple uncontrolled fires in busy areas, openly beating those who disagree, and you say "who cares"?

    Oh "AXC" and the rest of his hypocritical group would be all over it if Milo supporters were starting fires and beating up people at one of those peaceful BLM rallies!
