UC Berkeley protests: Milo Yiannopoulos planned to 'publicy name undocumented student

If he called my name, I would of proudly stood up and bowed to everybody.

Milo Yiannopoulos reportedly planned to publicly name undocumented students at his cancelled Berkeley University event.

The Breitbart senior editor, who was one of Twitter’s most notorious trolls until the site permanently banned him in July, was due to speak at the university on Wednesday but the event was called off due to heated protests.

Demonstrators threw smoke bombs, started fires and smashed windows.

Berkeley University officials warned Mr Yiannopoulos, an outspoken Donald Trump supporter, was planning to use the talk to target students who do not have documentation to live in the US.

“We are deeply concerned for all students’ safety and ability to pursue their education here at Cal beyond Milo’s speech,” the university’s Office of Student Affairs said in a letter sent to Berkeley College Republicans, the students hosting the event, on Tuesday.

“Milo’s event may be used to target individuals, either in the audience or by using their personal information in a way that causes them to become human targets to serve a political agenda.”

Mr Yiannopoulos told The Independent that suggestions he would use the event to name undocumented migrants were "a total fabrication" and categorically denied the reports.

George Ciccariello-Maher, a professor at Drexel University, claimed reliable sources believed Mr Yiannopoulos was planning on outing undocumented students.

“Reliable sources say Milo planned to publicly name undocumented students @UCBerkeley. Debate over: shutting him down was necessary & good,” he wrote on Twitter.

The question if the report is true, is how did he get the names?

True. Even counselors and academic advisors can't see your immigration status on their end. Only administration officials. Horrible though, if this is true it would of been such a scandal. People would of lost their jobs.

I highly doubt he had access to some sort of "master list" that could out people.

It honestly screams fake news, and an attempt to tarnish the guys name even further.

If he had a name to tarnish. He's being used by the alt right to turn people against gays.

The majority of gay people do not share his views.

Yeah and then you had those that were basically looking to kick over Immigration Reform in 2013 because it didn't explicitly allow same-sex marriage.
This was during the wave of court cases where circuit after circuit ruled that same sex marriage is legal, and right before the Supreme Court took the issue.

In the end each group is in their own boat. Gays would feed us to the sharks and vice versa if it'll come to it.

These generalizations are exactly what Trump and his supporters love. "All illegals are criminals" type of mentality. If we succumb to that way of thinking and pitting ourselves against others we are no better than them.
