A scheduled talk by right-wing commentator Milo Yiannopoulos, Breitbart Editor has been cancelled after a violence protest on Wednesday at UC Berkeley. The organizers of the event removed Milo from the venue of the event after a some unknown 150 masked agitators came around and disrupt the already peaceful protest.
The University blamed the black-clad protesters for the disruption, as they threw, rocks, commercial-grade fireworks and Molotov cocktails at the police. The protesters also broke the glass of the Student Union building, UC Berkeley, where the event was supposed to hold.

More than 1,500 had gathered at the venue with their different signs and chanting, "No safe space for racists" and "This is war.", but when violent protesters arrived at the scene, they tore down the barrier, damaged the construction of a new dorm and set fire new the campus bookstore.
A woman wearing the Donald Trump hat was pepper-sprayed in the face while she was being interviewed, but she let everybody know she was Ok. At least six people were injured in the protest.
Police later issued warning to protesters and ask them to disperse from the scene. Police later issue lockdown of the campus building.
In a statement released by UC Berkeley;
We condemn in the strongest possible terms the violence and unlawful behavior that was on display and deeply regret that those tactics will now overshadow the efforts to engage in legitimate and lawful protest against the performer's presence and perspectives.
While Yiannopoulos' views, tactics and rhetoric are profoundly contrary to our own, we are bound by the Constitution, the law, our values and the campus's Principles of Community to enable free expression across the full spectrum of opinion and perspective.
After the groups were dispersed away from the building campus, some of the protesters went downtown and smashed windows at several local banks.
The editor of Breitbart, which because of him the protest erupted in the first place went to Facebook and he says;
President Donald Trump also weigh in on the issue on Twitter, he tweeted;
