“to give the speech I was prevented from delivering”
Say what you will about Milo but the guy has guts. He’s apparently planning a return to Berkeley.

Milo Yiannopoulos announces intent to reschedule campus talk
Milo Yiannopoulos announced Saturday that he still intends to make an appearance at UC Berkeley, even though his event Wednesday was canceled by UCPD.
Yiannopoulos’ speech, initially set to occur 8:00 p.m. Wednesday, was cancelled about 6:00 p.m. by UCPD after violence broke out in opposition to the event. In a Facebook post Saturday, Yiannopoulos said he plans to come back to campus within the coming months to give the talk as originally scheduled.
“I’m planning to return to Berkeley to give the speech I was prevented from delivering. Hopefully within the next few months,” said Yiannopoulos in a Facebook post. “I’ll keep you posted.”
Yiannopoulos has not yet reached out to Berkeley College Republicans to discuss rescheduling the event, according to BCR treasurer David Craig. Craig said that although he does not personally support Yiannopoulos, he is open to seeing the speaker return to campus.
“If it was safe for everyone, I’d like him to be able to give the speech he intended. Ticket holders did pay for tickets and everyone went through a lot of planning,” Craig said. “It would be nice if everyone’s time and effort yielded something.”

In Progressiveland, infantile temper tantrums, escalated into full fledged riots complete with destruction of property, are punished by … Oh, wait. They aren’t punished at all; they are rewarded by the so-called adults who are theoretically in charge! These paragons of virtue and decency, defenders of free speech and the interchange of varying viewpoints [end sarcasm], are willing to stand fast in the face of conservative student’s reasonable requests but cave in faster than a tissue paper tent in a cloudburst if faced with leftists’ ridiculous demands.
The inmates are indeed running the asylum.
I like the idea of Milo being escorted up the steps by the National Guard, just like Central High in Little Rock in 1957. That would (well, should) drive the BLM crowd nuts.
Hopefully, he will be carrying big black & white posters showing these scenes as visual aids to the dumbed-down fascists.
