Peter Thiel Chased Off Stage by Angry Protestors at UC Berkeley

This is what happens when you beat and tear gas peaceful protesters. Look at the videos of the Berkeley protest and you'll see the police instigating, shoving students, decked out in full riot gear. They were ready to go with tear gas and rubber bullets, before anything untoward happened.

It was absolutely shameful. They are protesting now not just because of some incident thousands of miles away, and not just because of an abstract systemic problem but because of actual injustice witnessed first-hand several days ago. A man has seizure and the police won't allow him medical care. Beating 19-year olds with batons, chucking flash grenades. Hundreds of people arrested.

You think this kind of thing only happens in the south. But it's happening here, and it's scary and disgusting.

The protesters' reasoning was: Peter works for NSA -> NSA ~ police -> police brutality -> #BlackLivesMatter -> Let's storm Peter Thiel

Always thought USA universities have at least some sort of basic security, given the history of shootings.

What has Peter Thiel got to do with their protest?

Ok interesting, so why were the protestors angry?
