Martin Shkreli Pelted with Feces at Canceled Milo Yiannapoulos Event

[HEATST] Milo Yiannopoulos’ event at UC Davis this weekend with pharma bro Martin Shkreli didn’t go as planned. It was canceled amid a storm of protest and fears that Milo’s appearance would cause violence to escalate on campus. UC Davis’ College Republicans, who sponsored the program, were contacted by the University’s police department and student affairs officials who advised them to nix the controversial event.

So while Milo, the alt-right provocateur, was nowhere to be seen, his wingman Shkreli still showed up outside the building where the event was supposed to take place and approached some protesters. He was pelted with feces in short order. La Belle Frances Wang of Sacramento’s ABC 10 captured footage of the fecal attack.

The video shows the exact moment Shkreli -- who first achieved notoriety when he bought the rights to a lifesaving HIV drug and jacked up the price astronomically -- was pelted in the face with feces (probably dogs’ droppings, not human excrement), with a protester calling him a "piece of sh*t."

Protesters heckled any Milo’s supporters who were there and other prospective attendees with chants calling them "bigots," "fascists," and "racists." Per an ABC 10 report, most of the protesters were not in fact UC Davis students. The protests began peacefully, but quickly escalated into violence as protesters jumped the barricades set up by campus police. The news station confirmed that one anti-Milo protester threw hot coffee at its camera crew and their equipment.

#4 Campus administration and police sided with violent demonstrators to deny free speech. They should have called the National Guard to suppress the demonstrators.

#5 I dunno, this Shkreli guy should have had shit slung at him when he was testifying in front of congress about why he jacked up prices of an important med.

He's a complete poster child for Wall Street.
Milo needs to choose his "wingmen" more carefully.
