PROTESTS: “At least eight people were arrested at Cal State Fullerton on Tuesday [10-31-17] night during small but tense protests as conservative firebrand Milo Yiannopoulos spoke, blasting what he called the silencing of conservative views on college campuses.
At least two people were arrested after a scuffle between left-wing protesters and right-wing counter-protesters, said university spokesman Jeff Cook. Another protester, a woman wearing a black helmet and mask, was arrested after shooting pepper spray into the air. Before her arrest, the woman was heard urging protesters to break into the Yiannopoulos event and beat him up. It’s unclear what led to the other arrests.
Cal State Fullerton’s chapter of the College Republicans hosted the sold-out event at the Titan Student Union. It drew an audience of more than 800 people.”
