Yeah. what’s the big deal? The “Constitution” guarantees “us” the right to loot and burn doesn’t it? Well, according to D. J. Trump, it does, so there!
Anarchists from around the Bay Area, NOT Cal students, were the ones who demonstrated violently last night in Berkeley. Utilizing typical black bloc techniques, they hijacked last night’s peaceful student protest of a certain speaker and turned it into the uncomfortable display that was aired throughout the nation.
Your “hate speech” is tolerated though. All I ever see posted by you is calling people liars and unsubstantiated hateful remarks about others beliefs or ideologies. Get a clue.
They were free to invite him, the students were free not to go. The patriotic protesters are free to have their speech as well. If you don’t agree with one of these groups, their speech is the most important to defend.
I well remember the anti-Nam Berkeley protests of the 60’s. What I see now are the Trump inspired masked folks deliberately causing violence to discredit peaceful protest. Not all of course, like SDS, were innocent, but Trump encouraged violence throughout his campaign, so what’s the real deal?

I guess freedom of speech doesn’t apply to conservatives.

The rioters are doing the same thing as the Nazis ,an acronym for National Socialist German Workers Party,in the 1920’s and 30’s.
Anyone else notice that the rioters have no idea how Nazi and Communist like they really are?
Some should study History.

Free Speech will be the death of the US of A if.. it is not used responsibly.

The liberals only want to burn and riot. The conservative only want to ban and kill muslims. Is that the conclusion everyone is heading to?

In a nation FOUNDED on DESTRUCTIVE PROTEST, somehow protest – even destructive is the problem?!
