BERKELEY'S HISTORY OF PROTEST

Berkeley has long been a center for protests in the nation, and is considered by many to be the birthplace of the counterculture era.

Since before World War II, students have protested at the univeristy, but these protests became more prominent and regular during the Civil Rights movement in the late 1950s and 1960s.

When the university tried to crack down on these demonstrations, the student body responded with even more protests - fighting for free speech.

In the mid-1960s, the protests continued, but this time aimed at the Vietnam War. In 1965, an anti-Veitnam War march was organized through the streets of Oakland, California, after failed attempts to march in Berkeley. More than 10,000 people participated in the march, marking the first large-scale demonstration against the war.

Since this tumultuous period, the school and town have upheld this tradition of protest.

But like Wednesday night's demonstrations, the protests have not always been peaceful.

Rosebud Denovo, a protester, was shot dead by police in 1992, when she broke into the chancellor's mansion.

The break in triggered a silent alarm, leading police to safely escort the chancellor and his wife out of the residence. They then went back into the house with dogs and shot Denovo when they saw her hooding a machete.

Protesters tore down barricades, let off fireworks and set the campus ablaze during the furious protests over the conservative Breitbart editor.

Hundreds rallied against Yiannopoulos in a demonstration which turned violent and destructive, with protesters vandalizing dozens of businesses and smashing storefront windows. University police locked down all buildings and responded with tear gas and rubber bullets, according to witness reports.

Yiannopoulos himself later posted a video complaining that UC Berkley was 'no friend to free speech any more.'

The journalist said he had been planning to speak about cultural appropriation but claims his speech was over taken by the 'hard left.'

'It turns out the progressive left... which has become so antithetical to free speech has taken a turn post Trump's election. Where they simply will not allow any speaker on campus even someone as silly and harmless and gay as me, to have their voice heard.

'They are absolutely petrified by alternative visions of how the world could look.'

He added that it was both 'ironic and sad' that the campus was the home of the free speech movement, but it was 'no friend to freer speech any more.'

'I am of course not the racist or sexist or anything else that the posters that they put up claim that I am.'

University police confirmed that the campus was on lockdown as they reported they were bringing in extra resources to tackle the 'violent demonstration.'

'Milo event cancelled. Shelter in place if on campus. All campus buildings on lockdown. #miloatcal,' they tweeted.

The 32-year-old right-wing provocateur is a vocal supporter of President Donald Trump and a self-proclaimed internet troll whose comments have been criticized as racist, misogynist, anti-Muslim and white supremacist. He was banned from Twitter after leading a harassment campaign against 'Ghostbusters' actress Leslie Jones.

Several of Yiannopoulos' talks at other campuses have been canceled due to protests or security reasons.

The Breitbart editor wrote on Facebook that he and his team were safe after being evacuated from campus.

'I have been evacuated from the UC Berkeley campus after violent left-wing protestors tore down barricades, lit fires, threw rocks and Roman candles at the windows and breached the ground floor of the building,' he wrote.

'My team and I are safe. But the event has been cancelled. I'll let you know more when the facts become clear. One thing we do know for sure: the Left is absolutely terrified of free speech and will do literally anything to shut it down.'

He also claims that a Trump supporter wearing a Make American Great Again hat was assaulted and kicked while on the ground.

'This is what tolerance looks like at UC Berkeley,' said Mike Wright, a Berkeley College Republican member told SF Gate before someone threw paint on him. 'It's sad.'

Protesters tore down barricades and began throwing fencing at the student union where Yiannopoulos was waiting ahead of his speech, shattering the glass.

At one point a driver sped off with a protester still on his hood after rioters began attacking cars near UC Berkeley. Kelsey Walden, a local high schooler, was on top of the car when she was pulled off by other protesters.

A motorist who was surrounded by demonstrators drove at them running them over and sped off, according to a San Francisco Chronicle reporter at the scene.

Protesters ran after it but mistook another car and began attacking another car and its driver, spraying him with pepper spray.
