Fights break out, multiple people arrested as Turning Point USA event sparks protest at UC Berkeley

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Turning Point USA wrapped up its nationwide campus tour Monday night at UC Berkeley, marking two months since the death of its founder, Charlie Kirk, who was killed while speaking at a Utah college.

The final event drew hundreds of attendees to Zellerbach Hall, and many protesters outside. Demonstrators, including students and activists, gathered hours before doors opened, chanting with signs.

Organizers anticipated protests, but tensions escalated quickly. At one point, the entrance line had to be moved further down the block, due to crowding and confrontations. Ticketing issues also emerged, with some speakers blaming the university for logistical mishaps.

Outside the venue, protesters voiced strong opposition to Turning Point USA being on UC Berkeley's campus.

1. The RW didn't have organized brainwashing networks at colleges during the Vietnam war like the fascists do today,

that complicates things. Students were at the forefront for change when the state became too fascist. They now must fight enemies amongst their ranks. It will get worse, it will be violent as long as fascism controls every aspect of our society under the putin/tRump regime.
