Open-Minded Liberals at it again

No problem until the Black Block appears. It is not clear any are even Berkeley students.

Trump cannot defund a state university, funded by CA. Berkeley does get federal funding for cancer research, but again, Trump does not control that funding. 

What sense does it make to threaten such defunding when 1) the University permitted the speaker to speak, 2) it was the police, not the university, who cancelled the speech, 3) it is not clear that Berkeley students were involved in the protest, and 4) Trump has not the power to defund anyway? (Rhetorical questions thrown out to the forum, not aimed at you, Pat.)

Good to know that there were peaceful protestors. As I said, the coverage I had seen only showed this one group (thank you for posting more about them).
