UC-Berkeley Student Paper Editorial: Milo Yiannopoulos ‘Played the Victim’, Riots were Free Speech

Does that statement surprise you? It probably shouldn’t.

Here’s the modern campus Left for you: The chaos which ensued Wednesday evening at the University of California Berkeley was “largely the work of outside anarchist groups” that “co-opted the media narrative” … while “the majority [of the protesters] remained peaceful.”

So writes the editorial board of The Daily Californian. 

Here’s another snippet from The Daily Californian:

What they fail to realize, however, is that freedom of speech is not a pick-and-choose endeavor. The protest was a grand display of the same freedom of speech Yiannopoulos uses to justify his incendiary, useless harassment.

It wasn’t the way we had hoped the night would unravel. His opponents could have defeated him without sabotaging the protest and blemishing rational liberal resistance. But one way or another, his supporters would have twisted the narrative to fit their agenda.
