    It just doesn't make any sense to me. As controversial as Milo is, surely he doesn't allow people to carry in his shows, unless he has a death wish. If you are planning on attending a show why bring your weapon? You can't chuck it in the trash can or run it back to your car before you get to security. Unless you went there with the intention of causing trouble.

    Maybe some pro-gun people can convince us that the more guns there are, the safer we are?

    So from what I am reading, the shooter was an event attendee. Milo allows people to carry weapons into his shows?!! :i_dunno: That doesn't sound like a very good choice to me.

    The shooting took place outside of the venue. No bags or anything allowed inside. Plus it was a gun free campus, so only someone with bad intentions would bring one.

    Or a person who doesn't believe that they have to follow posted government rules and regulations.

    Sure. A stick, fists, a gun. All the same harm.

    Milo, a gay guy supporting right wing conservative politics? I am confused.

    California is full of them. Genius of Steve Bannon to recognize this group and give them a voice albeit a squeaky mousy one.

    Your link failed to tell me they're funded by Soros. Sad.
    I'm sure black bloc is an anagram for George Soros, you just need to have and open mind and educate yourself to see it. I've researched it on Google and have connected all the dots.
    Absolutely, just follow the handkercheifs and dominos!

    Milo again, struggling to be relevant. The major "free speech" event he claims Berkeley is suppressing? Seems it was never really meant to happen; it was just meant to be a "see? I told you so!" from the alt right, so they could feel all oppressed and everything.

    And Milo cancelled their "free speech event" at the last minute, leaving Berkeley in the lurch for the security costs. Even the speaker from Gateway Pundit acknowledged that it was a "complete disaster" that made the right look "very unprofessional".

    To me, Milo is an Entertainment Tonight version of commentator.  I can't take anyone like that seriously.  I guess other do.

    Wow, that was an interesting read. I really hate those guys, especially Milo and Bannon. They have definitely left a big shit stain on the Republican party, and on Trump's administration.

    I still say he isn't gay.  Like when Bryan Cranston converted to Judaism on Seinfeld so he could crack Jewish jokes.
