A 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. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2017/jan/25/shooting-milo-yiannopoulos-speech-seattle-charges https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2017/jan/25/shooting-mil...

Does anyone have a link to Milo's condemnation of that act? Anyone?

No, one protestor mistook the "anti-fascist" tattoo on another protestor as implying support for fascism, and so shot him. The violence was all carried out by those trying to shut down the free speech of a gay Jew who only dates black men.

  Do you have a citation for that since it goes against every report I've seen.

  Are those more "alternative facts"? Because your summary isn't remotely accurate. The shooter was there in support of Milo, he wasn't a protester. And it was his second confrontation of the night - quite the victim. http://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/crime/uw-shooting/ http://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/crime/uw-shooting/

  Protest is just another form of expressing free speech - besides that, I fail to see what Milo being a "gay Jew who only dates black men" has to do with anything?

  I've heard from a number of people who were there that the shooter was a Milo fan who was visibly intoxicated and picking fights all night. The man he shot was trying to break up a fight he started. Notice the victim wasn't wearing a mask, like the more aggressive antifa guys. Police have not called it self defense, it's still under investigation. It's really astonishing the amount of misinformation going around about this. It always has to be a false-flag, I guess.

What's your point? The shooter claims self defense, willingly turned himself in, and the victim doesn't want to file charges. I watched some of the live streaming of the protests and it was pretty insane - not just "breaking windows" but pepper spraying the opposition, lighting property on fire, throwing molotov cocktails and fireworks, and one instance of beating a guy unconscious and kicking him on the ground. It wasn't just "breaking windows" and whether you're left, right, or north - you should be vehemently disapproving it.

Fake news. Antifa thug was shot by a man whose identity or political affiliation hasn't been disclosed, in self defense. How do we know it was in self defense? UW police said so, after releasing him.
