An army of infuriated student protesters successfully blocked Breitbart<\/em> editor Milo Yiannopoulos and his pal, Martin Shkreli, “the most hated man in America<\/a>,” from spreading their message of hate on campus grounds. The scheduled event at the University of California at Davis was to be one of almost 30 stops on Yiannopoulos' self-titled “Dangerous Faggot” college campus tour. During the series of incidents, at least one cup of coffee was thrown and most satisfyingly, Shkreli was reportedly hit in the face with a pile of dog poop<\/a>.<\/p>\n

 “My event at UC Davis tonight has been canceled after violence from left-wing protesters,” Yiannopoulos posted<\/u> on Facebook, as the rising tension prevented both hosts from speaking at the bigot bonanza.<\/p>\n

 “This was in no way a peaceful protest,” Davis College Republican executive director Andrew Mendoza told<\/a> the Los Angeles Times<\/em>. “I want to make that very clear.”<\/p>\n

The reasoning behind the outrage is<\/em> very clear. “If white privilege is a thing, why are people working so hard to be black?” Yiannopolis said<\/a> at an earlier stop at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. “All of the award shows and cultural events favor black culture.”<\/p>\n

The 33-year-old Breitbart<\/em> columnist and editor cultivated his career on dishing out vicious insults. Yiannopoulos was recently banned from Twitter<\/a> after trolling all four actresses from “Ghostbusters,” specifically targeting actress Leslie Jones. Yiannopoulos' dedicated followers drove Jones to tears with scathing, racially-motivated insults.<\/p>\n

Shkreli also managed to get banned from Twitter<\/a> recently, after stalking and harassing journalist Lauren Duca. Shkreli is best known for raising the price of Daraprim, an HIV drug, 5000 percent<\/a> as well as heftily raising the price of the life-saving EpiPen.<\/p>\n

Yiannopoulos has been caught donning a Nazi-era iron cross<\/a>, a symbol of white supremacy and anti-Semitism, and has been photographed<\/a> holding books on Hitler. As a homosexual from Britain living in America, he hardly makes sense as the voice and face of the young alt-right.<\/p>\n

This Breitbart<\/em> article Yiannopoulos wrote uses pseudoscience to argue “scientific race differences” and defend segregation. Despite all this, Simon & Schuster decided to move forward, offering him a $250,000 book deal<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The morning after the canceled event, Yiannopoulos held a small counter-protest, speaking to a group at a tree planter outside Memorial Union at the UC Davis Campus.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
