#2FTA: “I do not believe our students were involved in the vandalism and the violent behavior that occurred,” the university's police chief, Margo Bennet, told reporters. “This was a group of agitators who were masked up, throwing rocks, commercial-grade fireworks and Molotov cocktails at officers. Those were not our students. That's not our students' behavior.”
At this point I'm far more curious about the behavior of the so-called police force last night.

#3I'm not sure I totally agree with the idea to cut funds, but there is certainly a problem where protesters have forgotten how to be peaceable.
This is kind of a natural out growth of the "ends justify the means" philosophy.
Since people replying can't seem to read critically let me clarify. I didn't say ALL or most protests haven't been peaceable. Because you can cite peaceful ones does not mean that there is not a problem because we are clearly having non-peaceful ones too!

#4That wasn't a protest. That was a riot. Let's call a spade a spade for once. I dont't expect much from Jeff Bezos's personal blog, but here on HN standards should be higher.

#5No good will come of this. Certainly no one walks away holding the moral high ground.

This time, like it or not, Milo did exactly that.

The vast majority of recent protests in this country have been completely peaceful. I don't think it's a problem of protesters forgetting how to be peaceful, but rather small group(s) of violent people that are drawn to certain protests with the intention of violence.

Regardless of what you want to call it, the real question is why liberals are now fighting against civil liberties.

The largest protest in American history was just held last month and was completely peaceful.
This event had a set of 10-12 agitators.

#10A reminder that at a similar protest in Seattle just last week one of the protesters was shot by one of Milo's supporters. The shooter was not arrested and has not been charged. But you know, breaking window's is pretty bad too.
