內文開始
Sales are soaring for the book 'Dangerous' by incendiary right-wing
commentator Milo Yiannopoulis.
"Dangerous"這本書開始大賣
The controversy that has driven pre-orders for his new book has also made
promotion for his book unusually complicated.
The 32-year-old Breitbart editor is a walking challenge to free speech
principles. He is a vocal supporter of President Trump, who has threatened to
cut federal funding to UC Berkeley over the riots that broke out at the
California campus Wednesday night, in protest of a talk that would likely
promote his book.
Yiannopoulis was able to capitalize off of the criticism that the protests
ensued. He shared a link to his book on Facebook with the message 'My book
has soared back up to #5. Thank you for all the support. Not a bad way of
showing them that violence will not win.'
作者在FB放出連結並嘲諷抗議者"感謝你們的支持。
對於表達暴力並不會獲勝這件事是一個不錯的方法。
In an interview Thursday night with Fox News, Yiannopoulis spoke to the press
for the first time following the protests.
He said about the night that he was planning his speech, when: 'Suddenly
there were these explosions outside, there were firecrackers and rocks being
thrown at the building the police were having things hurled at them.'
He went on to speak about how he was put into a bulletproof vest and his
opinion that law enforcement didn't seem to be doing much except for hiding
in the building. He said that the Mayor of Berkley was 'gleefully egging this
stuff on', adding that he had to apologize on Thursday for the usual 'leftist
name calling'.
在FOX新聞的訪問中，Milo說明當天暴動發生的狀況
Yiannopoulis believes that the name-calling is the the real problem, saying
'The left call everyone Nazis, the subtext is you deserve it, the media has
created this environment in which it's OK to say almost anything for anyone
who is slightly left of Jane Fonda.'
He continued: 'I don't have an opinion that millions of American's don't
share, I just share them on a slightly larger platform.'
However, the Breitbart editor explained that he is more optimistic about the
outcome than the average conservative, explaining that he believes that there
will be backlash by colleges who will have to do more to protect first
amendment rights.
"左派總是能把任何人指為納粹，這個環境是媒體造成的"
The announcement of his book deal in late December was greeted with immediate
anger. Hundreds of authors have objected and one writer, Roxane Gay, withdrew
a book she had planned for Simon & Schuster.
Many independent sellers have also expressed uneasiness, saying they will
make the book available if asked for, but will not promote it. One store, The
Booksmith in San Francisco, has announced it will neither stock the book nor
order a copy upon customer request.
Booksmith also said it was cutting orders for Simon & Schuster by 50 per
cent.
該書開始發表時引起很大的反彈，有作者甚至將計畫要發表的書退回以抵制該出版社。
書商也不主動推銷該書。
In the past the editor has made vicious comments about Muslims, women and
others, and on his web site offers such products as 'Feminism is cancer'
T-shirts and 'Fat Shaming Works' hoodies.
His harassment campaign last summer against Ghostbusters star Leslie Jones
led to his banishment from twitter.
The protests on Wednesday at the nation's number-one-ranked public university
were so violent that administrators warned the rest of the student body to
shelter in place and the talk was eventually called off.
After the talk was cancelled Trump tweeted: 'If U.C. Berkeley does not allow
free speech and practices violence on innocent people with a different point
of view - NO FEDERAL FUNDS?'

川普在推特上發表"柏克萊是不想要補助了嗎？"
Protesters tore down barricades, let off fireworks and set the campus ablaze
during the furious protests over the conservative Breitbart editor.
Hundreds rallied against Yiannopoulos in a demonstration which turned violent
and destructive, with protesters vandalizing dozens of businesses and
smashing storefront windows. University police locked down all buildings and
responded with tear gas and rubber bullets, according to witness reports.
Yiannopoulos himself later posted a video complaining that UC Berkley was 'no
friend to free speech any more.'
Further violence escalated today on campus, as a 21-year-old student who
supports Donald Trump was beaten up.
Jack Palkovic says he was wearing a 'Make America Great Again' cap on his way
to class when a White SUV slammed to a stop and two young men ran toward him.
One of the men screamed an epithet, grabbed Palkovic's hat and pummeled him
before the two got back in the vehicle and tried to drive away.
Police arrived in time to block their escape and arrest both men.
Palkovic says he is a member of the college Republicans group and helped
organize Wednesdays' event with Yiannopoulis, who said said he had been
planning to speak about cultural appropriation but claims his speech was over
taken by the 'hard left.'
'It turns out the progressive left... which has become so antithetical to
free speech has taken a turn post Trump's election. Where they simply will
not allow any speaker on campus even someone as silly and harmless and gay as
me, to have their voice heard.
'They are absolutely petrified by alternative visions of how the world could
look.'
He added that it was both 'ironic and sad' that the campus was the home of
the free speech movement, but it was 'no friend to freer speech any more.'
'I am of course not the racist or sexist or anything else that the posters
that they put up claim that I am.'
University police confirmed that the campus was on lock-down as they reported
they were bringing in extra resources to tackle the 'violent demonstration.'
'Milo event cancelled. Shelter in place if on campus. All campus buildings on
lock-down. #miloatcal,' they tweeted.
The 32-year-old right-wing provocateur is a vocal supporter of President
Donald Trump and a self-proclaimed internet troll whose comments have been
criticized as racist, misogynist, anti-Muslim and white supremacist. He was
banned from Twitter after leading a harassment campaign against
'Ghostbusters' actress Leslie Jones.
Several of Yiannopoulos' talks at other campuses have been canceled due to
protests or security reasons.
The Breitbart editor wrote on Facebook that he and his team were safe after
being evacuated from campus.
He also took to Facebook to criticize news sources such as CNN, sharing one
of their articles titled 'Milo Yiannopoulis is trying to convince colleges
that hate speech is cool' and editing it to say 'Milo Yiannopoulis is trying
to convince colleges that free speech is cool.'
'I have been evacuated from the UC Berkeley campus after violent left-wing
protesters tore down barricades, lit fires, threw rocks and Roman candles at
the windows and breached the ground floor of the building,' he wrote.
'My team and I are safe. But the event has been cancelled. I'll let you know
more when the facts become clear. One thing we do know for sure: the Left is
absolutely terrified of free speech and will do literally anything to shut it
down.'
He also claims that a Trump supporter wearing a Make American Great Again hat
was assaulted and kicked while on the ground.
'This is what tolerance looks like at UC Berkeley,' said Mike Wright, a
Berkeley College Republican member told SF Gate before someone threw paint on
him. 'It's sad.'
The protest turned violent around 6pm when a group of demonstrators dressed
all in black and wearing masks soaked in milk - to protect against tear gas -
emerged from the crowd and began dismantling the security defenses - knocking
down barriers and cutting through zip ties.
Protesters tore down barricades and began throwing fencing at the student
union where Yiannopoulos was waiting ahead of his speech, shattering the
glass.
At one point a driver sped off with a protester still on his hood after
rioters began attacking cars near UC Berkeley. Kelsey Walden, a local high
schooler, was on top of the car when she was pulled off by other protesters.
A motorist who was surrounded by demonstrators drove at them running them
over and sped off, according to a San Francisco Chronicle reporter at the
scene.
Protesters ran after it but mistook another car and began attacking another
car and its driver, spraying him with pepper spray.
Police report at least three were injured in fights as the protest grew
increasingly violent.
Others toppled a generator and light pole, scrawling Milo across it with
spray paint before setting it alight.
'We're anarchists,' said one unnamed protester. 'This is war.'
Eddy Brock - who claims to be a free speech advocate - was seen with blood
pouring down the side of his face after he says he was attacked by the
demonstrators.
Meanwhile the campus protest spilled out onto the streets with reports of
buildings being vandalized in the southern part of town.
The mayor issued a plea saying 'violence and destruction are not the answer'.
The University of California at Berkeley condemned the violence in a new
statement.
'The violence was instigated by a group of about 150 masked agitators who
came onto campus and interrupted an otherwise non-violent protest,' UC
Berkeley said in a statement. Some people were attacked and police treated
six people for injuries.
'We condemn in the strongest possible terms the violence and unlawful
behavior that was on display and deeply regret that those tactics will now
overshadow the efforts to engage in legitimate and lawful protest against the
performer's presence and perspectives.'
The school had been bracing for major protests Wednesday ahead of
Yiannopoulos' arrival - the last stop of his Dangerous F****t Tour tonight
aimed at defying what he calls an 'epidemic of political correctness on
college campuses.'
His visit to Berkeley was sponsored by the campus Republican club.
'The free-speech movement is dead', the group said after his talk was shut
down, according to KTVU.
The university stressed it did not invite Yiannopoulos, a right-wing
provocateur who is gay, and does not endorse his ideas but was committed to
free speech as it rejected calls to cancel ahead of the event.
Earlier on Wednesday, the university sent a notice to all students that
warned of crowds near the student union, where the 500-seat, sold-out event
was scheduled.
'We anticipate there will be major protest/ demonstration activity leading up
to and surrounding this event,' the letter from school officials said. It did
not discourage protests but advised those who didn't wish to participate to
avoid the area.
Pieter Sittler, a spokesman for the Berkeley College Republicans, said the
club doesn't support everything Yiannopoulos says but 'he gives a voice to
repressed conservative thought on American college campuses.' He uses 'levity
and humor' that should not be taken literally, Sittler said.
Yiannopoulos' talks have sparked protests, shouting matches and occasional
violence at stops around the country. A man was shot and wounded at protests
outside his January 21 talk at the University of Washington.
Rowdy protests at UC Davis January 13 prompted campus Republicans to cancel
his appearance last minute.
On Tuesday night at California Polytechnic State University in San Luis
Obispo, his speech was met with dozens of angry protesters outside a campus
theater, but they were outnumbered by police who kept them far from the
nearly 500 attendees and the event went on as planned.
His last stop was supposed to be UCLA on February 2, but that invitation was
rescinded, making Berkeley the grand finale of his cross-country campus tour.
Professors had joined the hundreds of students calling for the event's
cancellation.
But university officials refused to cancel ahead of time in the name of free
speech.
But Berkeley Chancellor Nicholas Dirks was expecting protests to be
'substantial' amid tight security.
'In our view, Mr. Yiannopoulos is a troll and provocateur who uses odious
behavior in part to 'entertain,' but also to deflect any serious engagement
with ideas,' Dirks wrote last week to Berkeley's staff and 37,500 students.
'He has been widely and rightly condemned for engaging in hate speech.'
Berkeley Chancellor Nicholas Dirks said: 'In our view, Mr. Yiannopoulos is a
troll and provocateur who uses odious behavior in part to "entertain," but
also to deflect any serious engagement with ideas'
Berkeley Chancellor Nicholas Dirks said: 'In our view, Mr. Yiannopoulos is a
troll and provocateur who uses odious behavior in part to 'entertain,' but
also to deflect any serious engagement with ideas'
But as a public university, Berkeley's administrators are legally bound by
the First Amendment to protect free speech, meaning even offensive and hate
speech cannot be banned or censored, Dirks said.
'We are defending the right to free expression at an historic moment for our
nation, when this right is once again of paramount importance,' Dirks said.
The Berkeley Republican Club said earlier on Wednesday that it had no plans
to cancel the event because that would send a message that intimidation and
violence can win.
Administrators say the demands to stifle Yiannopoulos show that modern
sensitivities are changing the debate about free speech on campus.
The number of attempts to keep speakers off college campuses because of their
politics doubled last year, according to a report issued late last year by
the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education.
It logged a record 42 incidents of 'disinvitations,' with 25 percent aimed at
Yiannopoulos.
Administrators have received hundreds of letters and emails calling for the
event's cancellation.
There was also a 'No Milo' at Berkeley Facebook page with more than 3,500
people signed on, calling for a 'mass counter protest'.
Nearly 100 professors signed a letter to the chancellor urging him to cancel
the event. It cited some of Yiannopoulos' earlier comments.
At the University of Delaware, Yiannopoulos referred to transgender people as
'mentally ill' and encouraged his audience to mock them.
He has called Black Lives Matter a form of 'black supremacism.'
Twitter banned him in July, as it cracked down on racist abuse targeting
'Ghostbusters' actress Leslie Jones.
At Western Carolina University he called feminism, 'a mean, vindictive,
spiteful, nasty, man-hating philosophy.'
'The university should not provide a platform for such harassment,' the
letter from professors said. 'We support robust debate, but we cannot abide
by harassment, slander, defamation and hate speech.'
Yiannopoulos rejects accusations he is racist or white supremacist, saying
his boyfriend is black and his humor is taken too literally in today's
politically correct culture.
A group of veterans from Berkeley's 1960s Free Speech Movement praised
administrators for allowing the event.
'Even the worst kind of bigot, including Yiannopoulos, must be allowed to
speak on campus,' they wrote in In an op-ed published by Berkeley's The Daily
Californian.
