Those folks weren't rioting and burning and beating people up because they wanted someone to express an idea contrary to theirs. Just the opposite--their violence is a means of intimidation.
Isn't this the way Hitler started? Anybody remember "brownshirts?"

Do you have evidence UC Berkeley administration orchestrated the riots?
Don't try to pull a snowjob on me.
The culture of Berkeley has been established for decades.
In pretending to fight Nazis, they have become Nazis and Nazi sympathizers, and this is condoned from the top right on down.
Remember the "free speech" movement of the 1960s? Its just the opposite now that the "free speechers" are in charge.
Brownshirts I said and brownshirts I meant.

Are you saying that UC Berkeley's culture, supported by the administration in one way or another, is to 'not allow free speech' and that their culture 'practices violence on innocent people' and that this therefore justifies threatening to defund them?
Yes, you catch on quick!
So did the administration orchestrate it, as Hitler orchestrated the brownshirts?
The administration, faculty, and most students are lefties. They don't have to "orchestrate" the riots, but just to accommodate them to achieve their ends and those ends are remarkably similar to what the brownshirts practiced in early Germany. The goal is to shut down any and all opposition through street violence.
If you can't see the street violence being a prime weapon on the part of the progs, you need better glasses.

Is Milo Yiannopoulos likely to stop talking as a result of this?
That is clearly the intent--to shut Milo and all others like him down at all costs. After a series of riots, how many campus administrations will even entertain the thought of Milo or others like him speaking there?
That's the goal of the rioters--raw power through violence. If you can't see that it's your shortcoming, not mine.
Brownshirts are among us again. Read some history.
In fighting the presumed Nazis, the progs have become the Nazis all over again.

Complaining about people with hurt feelings and then demanding an apology for your hurt feelings is hypocritical.
More like Alinsky's Rule #4 being turned against the radicals.
