Berkeley Commies

• https://www.lewrockwell.com

Everyone is no doubt grimly aware of the events that transpired at the University of California at Berkeley days ago when writer and speaker Milo Yiannopoulos attempted to deliver a speech. He was met with violent protesters who smashed windows and ATMs, set things on fire, destroyed property of various kinds, and beat people senseless.

Milo has since confirmed his intention to return to Berkeley at some point in the future.

Leftist protesters, surveying the situation and its aftermath, have persuaded themselves that the whole thing went really quite smoothly.

According to the San Francisco Chronicle, organizers of the riot (it wasn't really a "demonstration") are calling it "stunningly successful."

"Everyone played a part," said Berkeley Law School alum Roland Cruz, of the group By Any Means Necessary. "Some engaged in breaking windows – others held signs and made sure that the fascists and the police did not attack anyone."

Yes, really smooth.

The "fascists," of course, were the regular people who wished to attend the event. Unlike leftists, these folks are not known for committing acts of violence, so as usual the snowflakes didn't have much to worry about.

Meanwhile, the whole country sees a pleasant and articulate young guy – who made many media appearances as a result of the incident – having to flee for his life from a raging mob. The mob thought breaking windows and destroying property, not to mention beating people up, was an appropriate way to indicate their disagreement with Milo's views.

Yeah, that's super smooth. Americans really go for that.

"This was self-defense," Cruz said. "Windows can be replaced. People can't be."

Self-defense.

Sure.

So far no deaths yet reported from a Milo speech, but we'll keep watching.

Oh, and how generous of Cruz to note that windows can be replaced. Cruz isn't quite generous enough to do the replacing himself, of course. That will be done by capitalist insurance companies.
