Milo Yiannopoulos to return to Berkeley, determined to give speech

BERKELEY (KRON) — Milo Yiannopoulos made an announcement Saturday morning that may have members of the East Bay up in arms all over again.

He says he is planning on returning to Berkeley to give the speech he was unable to deliver earlier this week when chaos broke out over his appearance.

“I’m planning to return to Berkeley to give the speech I was prevented from delivering,” Yiannopoulos said in a Facebook post. “Hopefully within the next few months. I’ll keep you posted.”

Yiannopoulos is a Breitbart News editor, known for his conservative ideologies.

He was met by violent protesters Wednesday evening before he ever reached the podium, where he was set to speak at University of California at Berkeley.

lawn out side of the Life Science building or down at People's Park. Draw the cameras away from the event. stop fueling these sociopath's ego. You know like what the media should have done to Trump from the start. Being shunned and ignored is the worst thing you can do to people like this.

I would suggest having a conversation with my colleague, who was displayed on screen and openly mocked during his speech at WVU in December. He was then doxxed and harassed, having to be escorted to and from his classes, and to and from his home, by police. He has also harassed trans students elsewhere in the US.
So no. We do not owe this idiot one goddamned thing.
