    Maybe Weird Al will lampoon Joan Baez with "The Night They Burned Old Berkeley Down".

    He made himself famous for getting kicked off of twitter for being racist to Leslie Jones. His racist followers lemminged up and followed suit. Fuck Milo and everyone supporting him. It's funny how people will follow a foreigner saying shit that they want to hear instead of listening to an American who has an objective viewpoint.

    Neil Degrassi Tyson isn't an atheist. He's agnostic. There's a stark contrast between the two. Another failure of your post is saying that Berkeley didn't allow Milo to speak. No, Milo decided not to because people were protesting. The university didn't cancel his speech (he shouldn't even have gotten speech time like this). He did.

    Some of you muthafuckas act like speech isn't regulated... You cannot slander someone without a lawsuit. You cannot yell fire in a crowded theater without the presence of fire. If I'm yelling anti-Semitic slurs while assaulting a Jewish American, I get a larger FEDERAL sentence because that is deemed a hate crime. The bottom line is speech is regulated.

    I wonder where you stand on these Republicans who are trying to institute law that doesn't allow people to peaceably assemble. It's also funny how people who guard the Second Amendment with their lives don't say shit about the regulation of the First Amendment unless it's in some argument that doesn't apply like citizens united or this situation.

    The funniest thing is that the Second Amendment is regulated too!! You can't simply go buy a tank. You can't simply go buy a bazooka or RPG. You have to have certain permits to buy shit like that. That's regulation...

    Edit: And don't get started on Christians. Those motherfuckers (the fake ones) hold some of the most obscene protests. They like to do it at military funerals too...

    LMAO, and who would that American be? That fat piece of shit Michael Moore? That misguided douchebag Colin Kaepernick?

    Or how about some dumbass Leftist at some Hollywood awards show that nobody gives a shit about? Who rants about shit like they matter?

    Those Americans?

    Gee....if only people listened to average Americans who weren't elitist assholes with Liberal agendas.

    Oh wait....the Electoral College listened to us.

    I may be the only one here who knew who Leslie Jones was way before Ghostbusters. I saw her standup special and loved her. However, I hadn't even watched some of the new RIOT video until last night. Protest is a lie.

    It looked like what would happen if cops shot a bus full of black kids going to a mathlete competition or some shit.

    Indefensible even if Milo is the new gay Hitler. There are NO regulations that apply to a Milo speech.

    I haven't watched many of his videos, but calling him the new "Gay Hitler" (not saying that you did...) is asinine and retarded beyond all belief.

    Not really. You should probably go re-read that entire exchange.

    IN fact, Leslie Jones is the bigger racist. Have you seen her past tweets? That bitch should have been kicked off twitter long ago. But she wont. It's Saudi owned, and Liberal agenda'd.

    He didn't. You can read plenty of articles online about it. It's why everyone is retracting their statements online about him being a "White Supremacist".

    I don't think he's anything for them to freak out over and I find some of the things he says quite insightful. I just meant that there isn't anything he could just say that can make these riots acceptable. Anyone who thinks otherwise should just start whatever race/culture war they want already.

    A Saudi prince owns 5%. 95% of twitter is not Saudi owned.

    OK. OK. He has more ownership than the CEO, and he's the 2nd most share holder, after EV Williams.

    The prince is already a big media player, owning broadcasting organizations and stakes in Disney, 21st Century Fox and News Corp.

    http://www.recode.net/2016/8/11/12417064/twitter-stock-ownership-takeover-acquisition-challenges

    The gist is, he has major influence on what goes on in Twitter land.

    I would imagine that the majority of corporations have people who own a larger stake than the CEO does.

    You've read the article to which you linked, right? Per the article, "the measure would allow felony prosecution of people involved in protests that block transportation and commerce, cause property damage, threaten jobs and put public safety at risk." From what I see, that falls in line with the existing precedent regarding regulation of freedom of assembly.

    Per the library of congress, "The First Amendment does not provide the right to conduct an assembly at which there is a clear and present danger of riot, disorder, or interference with traffic on public streets, or other immediate threat to public safety or order.[13] Statutes that prohibit people from assembling and using force or violence to accomplish unlawful purposes are permissible under the First Amendment.[14]"

    So, are you saying that the congressperson's characterization of the measure is inaccurate?

    I could agree w/that. But, there has been reports out there that the Saudi prince has been influencing decisions on bans of peoples accounts. I wouldn't put it past them.
    The double standard that Twitter is displaying w/this stuff is rather dubious.

    No. What I think is BULLSHIT is people always want to regulate my 1st Amendment right whilst simultaneously saying their 2nd Amendment right can't be touched. I'm sick of the hypocrisy.

    A Saudi prince owns part of FOX "news" and has for years. You watch?

    Thing is, what does the 1st say about assembly? It says "peaceably" to assemble. The regulations regarding assembly seek to ensure "peaceable" assembly, not abridge it.
