| POTUS Threatens to Cancel Berkeley Federal Funds After Milo Rioting |
| 2017-02-02 |
| [Breitbart] President Donald Trump reacted to the massive rioting at UC-Berkeley in response to a scheduled campus speech by Breitbart News editor Milo Yiannopoulos. "If U.C. Berkeley does not allow free speech and practices violence on innocent people with a different point of view ‐ NO FEDERAL FUNDS?" Trump wrote on Twitter early Thursday morning. News of the rioting made cable news last night as students smashed ATMs and bank windows, looted a Starbucks, beat Trump supporters, pepper sprayed innocent individuals, and set fires in the street. Others spray painted the words "Kill Trump" on storefronts. The speech was canceled by UC-Berkeley police as security failed. Yiannopoulos was evacuated from the area. "The left is profoundly antithetical to free speech these days, does not want to hear alternative points of view, and will do anything to shut it down," Yiannopoulos told Fox News host Tucker Carlson in an interview on Wednesday night. "My point is being proven over and over and over again." |

| #13 Problem with this idea is that the anarchists probably weren't students. Yes the campus cops should have done something but withholding federal funds because the cops are idiots doesn't sound right. |

| #2 Fans of Ironic Historical Trends will note that the UC Berkeley campus was the home of the Free Speech Movement back in the 60s. From le Wik: In protests unprecedented in scope, students insisted that the university administration lift the ban of on-campus political activities and acknowledge the students' right to free speech and academic freedom. |
