In another case of the crybabies getting their way, conservative loose cannon and Breitbart Tech Editor Milo Yiannopoulos was supposed to speak and be interviewed at DePaul University in Chicago on Tuesday.

However, just as Yiannopoulos and College Republicans were getting the event underway, members of the Black Lives Matter movement interrupted, jumped on the stage and basically ended the event.

In typical Chicago fashion, the crybabies and whiners got their way. I refuse to call them activists, because very few of these people who ever protest actually know what they're talking about.

At one point during the interruption, things got a little physical. A female protester got in the College Republicans host’s face and grabbed the microphone out of his hands before proceeding to threaten Yiannopoulos by squaring up with him while he was still in his chair.

The whole time, a male protester that had jumped on stage began chanting, “Dump the Trump.”

He also kept blowing a very obnoxious and annoying whistle that really didn't help his cause at all, except to incite the people in the crowd who were attending the event.

Yiannopoulos posed no physical threat to the protesters, and he made no physical attempt to stop them. But that's what happens when these protestors have no valid argument -- they resort to physical intimidation and abuse.

The crowd stood up and booed the protesters chanting for them to “Get a job.”

According to Breitbart, the saddest part of this whole situation was that DePaul’s College Republicans and Breitbart had to pay $2,000 to hire 15 police officers as security guards for the event. And we see how effective they were. The security force did absolutely nothing except arrest a journalist for taking a video of the protesters.

It's not illegal to film in a public space, and there was no reason given for why Jeremy Segal, also known as RebelPundit, was arrested.

College Republicans said the following in a statement:

What happened tonight at our Milo Yiannopoulos event is a sad verdict on the American campus today. We wanted to put on a good event; bring some new perspectives to the modern issues of our day and have some fun. Regrettably, militant protestors decided to hijack the event. Loud whistles, threats of violence and straight up suppression of speech. There was no discourse, no Q&A, just fascism.
 
Additionally, DePaul security’s response to the thuggery was utterly shameful. We spent thousands of dollars and countless hours to get the proper security and put this event on, but when security was actually needed, they did nothing.
 
What is the point of having security if they won’t do anything when they are CLEARLY needed? DePaul administration and security’s response just shows the liberal bias that so obviously pervades universities all around the country.  Conservatives can’t host speakers, can’t put on events, because as soon as we get started vile leftists will shut down our events as soon as they get started, while administration cooperates with their oppressive, disgusting actions.
 
We want to thank Milo Yiannopoulos for putting up this garbage, and we hope, in some way, DePaul administration will actually do something to address this abomination and  hold those responsible for what this event became accountable.

 

Parents and students pay good money for young adults to get a decent education, and are led to believe that there is a free exchange of ideas and opinions on a college campus. However, judging by the high level of the dampening of free speech across the higher education board, these institutions have become nothing more than indoctrination centers.

Being from Chicago, I'm aware the city has always been full of liberals. But you used to be able to disagree with the establishment. Apparently that is not the case anymore, and it's sad to see what a once great metropolis has become.
