The University of California at Berkeley was forced to cancel a talk by an editor at right-wing Breitbart News after violent student protests.

Milo Yiannopoulos, 32, is an outspoken supporter of President Donald Trump.

Hundreds of students rallied on Wednesday night. At least one fire was started and riot police used tear gas as the campus was put on lockdown.

Mr Trump later threatened to withdraw federal funds from the university if it "does not allow free speech".

The president suggested it was condoning those who practice "violence on innocent people with a different point of view".

Mr Yiannopoulos later told Fox News that he had been rushed to safety by his security team after protesters began hurling rocks.
"Obviously it's a liberal campus so they hate any libertarians or conservatives who dare to express an opinion on their campuses," he said.
"They particularly don't like me," he added.
Mr Yiannopoulos' comments have been criticised as racist and misogynist.

Berkeley College Republicans sponsored Mr Yiannopoulos' visit.
Their spokesman, Pieter Sittler, said they didn't agree with everything he said, but "he gives a voice to repressed conservative thought on American college campuses".

Absolutely horrific that people would go to such extent to silence someone, just because they disagree with their opinions.

I have some serious shots but they're still on my phone.

All of the protesters I encountered were hostile. Two of them actually got into my face, and both of them were women. Fences were torn down in front of my eyes, as well as mobile barricades, windows, and ATM machines. When I got there, I witnessed a man being beaten on the ground with sticks.

Congratulations liberals, you just convinced Americans and the world alike who were on the fence on who to support, who to support.

Freedom of speech is for everyone, regardless of political opinions. Take your enemy's liberties and you shall take your own aswell.

As a liberal, i would say that was a wrongful move by a fringe who disgraced the whole category.
Milo Yannopoulos is a radical conservative / neo-reactionary, but he has the right to speak.
Even if i admit supporting the Richard Spencer puncher, as he is a neo-nazi who advocates segregations, here lines are blurred. IMO he and all the trump staff are disgusting worms, but they have the right to speak.
