In February, black-clad Antifa protesters vandalized university buildings and started fires to prevent Yiannopoulos from giving a speech on campus. Shapiro’s speech on Thursday went off relatively peacefully, although Berkeley police did arrest nine people – three on weapons-related charges. Aside from uncertainties about the price tag for Free Speech Week and who will pay the bill, other uncertainties remain. “You can rent a football stadium for that,” he said, adding that he believes the school should incur the security costs. Berkeley’s Mogulof, however, contests Yiannopoulos’ charge that the school is overcharging them, noting that school takes on much of the financial burden and that the organizers of “Free Speech Week” want to use the university’s most state-of-the-art facilities.
