Here's the lie. It wasn't Milos that cost Berzerkeley 800 grand, it was the protestors.

Dozens of people still waiting in line to pass through metal detectors to see the former Breitbart News columnist were not even aware he had shown up. About 700 to 800 people were outside the barricades when Yiannopoulos spoke, UC Berkeley Police Chief Margo Bennett said.

Marco Gutierrez, a Trump supporter who came from Discovery Bay, was one of them. Frustrated by the long security line, he was disappointed he didn't get in.

"When we try to do anything that resembles conservative activism," he said, "it's hard."

Plastic orange barricades surrounded the plaza as police in riot gear encountered a raucous crowd of protesters who started gathering two hours before the event, exchanging tense words in shouting matches that began anew after Yiannopoulos' quick visit. Afterward, protesters spilled  into the streets for impromptu marches.

This is how we get rid of the leftists breeding grounds. Have Milo show up at these campuses regularly. They'll be burned down within a fortnight.
