So before the protest the University was not going to prevent him from speaking despite his having outed a student in the past and threats to do so again. After the protest he didn't get the platform at Berkeley and it is unlikely they will double down and have him in the future.

Where is the inept part? Partly successful, partly not. Training for future. Imperfect but not inept.

What do you think it looks like to oppose fascism once it has a foothold when the police are more likely than not to be sympathetic to the brown shirts and the general populace is often too busy watching netflix to be bothered? Tea parties and a round of Partisan Chutes and Ladders?
