CALIFORNIA — A group of protesters threw smoke bombs and flares towards UC Berkeley’s student union building Wednesday night, February 1st — where polarizing Breitbart News editor Milo Yiannopoulos was scheduled to speak.
Some of the protesters pulled away metal barricades as police in riot gear guarded the building.
Hundreds of peaceful demonstrators carrying signs that read “Hate Speech Is Not Free Speech” had been protesting for hours before the event.
A small group dressed in black and some in hooded sweatshirts showed up and began throwing flares and other objects at the building.
Yiannopoulos, a 32-year-old right wing provocateur, is a vocal supporter of President Donald Trump and a self-proclaimed internet troll whose comments have been criticized as racist, misogynist, anti-Muslim and white supremacist.
His visit to Berkeley was sponsored by the campus Republican club.
