Protests and Clashes Erupt at Conservative Speaking Events on College Campuses
TL;DR Summary
About 100 protesters at UC Davis disrupted an event headlined by conservative personality Charlie Kirk, smashing windows, hurling eggs, and using pepper spray. Twitter CEO Elon Musk called the protest "not a peaceful protest at all." The school admitted there were "minor incidents" and one police officer was injured. Two people were arrested. UC Davis remained committed to free speech, saying it must uphold the right to free speech, even when that speech may be hateful, offensive, or abusive.
