It is amusing to see the Berkeley stuff come up here. It's really very simple--had Yiannopoulos simply been spewing his usual bigoted bullcrap, a response of vigorous protest and judicious heckling would have been appropriate (protesters have First Amendment rights, too). But on this speaking tour, he'd already outed at least one transgender student, and he'd intimated he'd do the same to undocumented immigrant students. People can get deported and killed over that stuff, which put his speech in "clear and present danger" territory.
