Supporters and protesters of Milo Yiannopoulos sparred verbally, and in a few cases physically, at Cal State Fullerton on Halloween night as the conservative provocateur spoke to a sold-out crowd of more than 800 students and others.

Outside, the mood was tense, and at least 8 were arrested by the time the speech began for such offenses as scuffling, campus officials said.

Protesters and supporters confronted each other. At one point people were pepper-sprayed by others among an unruly crowd.

Inside the Titan Student Union, Yiannopoulos was greeted with a standing ovation before taking jabs at political correctness and celebrities in the name of free speech.......................

It is like the White House briefings with Fuckubee Sanders, all BS and a waste of time. The media needs to boycott publishing and airing them completely. We do not need to promote their propaganda.
