It would be news if Breitbart tech editor Milo Yiannopoulos hadn’t been met by unruly protesters when he arrived to speak to a capacity crowd at DePaul University Tuesday evening as a guest of DePaul College Republicans and Turning Point USA; that’s standard operating procedure for the social justice warriors who can’t abide “hate speech” being allowed into their safe space.
Kyle Foley of Hypeline News has posted video of the protest.

Things got uglier than usual, though, when Black Lives Matters protesters made their way onto the stage.

Hey, @DePaulU, do you want to use this for next semester's brochures?

The black dude, identified as Edward Ward, was recently the subject of a laudatory article in the school newspaper that profiled his work as a youth organizer and aspiration to one day become an Illinois state representative.

That’s a little too close for comfort. Way too close.
I suspect the fashion choices of Milo's assailant distressed him more than her punch. @nero #DePaul pic.twitter.com/5tAHdtwPxZ

Where is security? Good question. With the event successfully hijacked, Yiannopoulos decided to lead his own counter-protest in the form of a march to the university president’s office. Matthew Paras of The DePaulian provided extensive coverage of the disruption.
Yiannopoulos: "This is what happens when your college authorities cave into the pressure." Upset security isn't doing anything

The event is shifting gears. There is now an individual line to meet him. Yiannopoulos says "Let's go to the president's office"

Foley did happen to catch the next Melissa “I Need Some Muscle Over Here” Click on video as she approached to cover his camera lens and enforce the sanctity of the campus safe space.

No one is being allowed back into the Student Center. It's closed temporarily, but others are still inside. Doors are locked

Congratulations, special snowflakes. Now no one will have to confront any uncomfortable ideas … except maybe one.

Update:
There’s currently a riot going on — literally — in Albuquerque outside of Donald Trump’s campaign rally, but video from the DePaul event is just as disturbing in principle, though at a much smaller scale.

That journalist is Jeremy Segal, also known as @RebelPundit. Legal Insurrection reports that Segal is the husband of Legal Insurrection author Anne Sorock and was outside filming protesters.
Behind bars, arrested @DePaulU for filming a rabid, fascist mob of special snowflakes @Nero event – insane footage coming
