Demonstrators gathered for hours to oppose the event, which was part of TPUSA&#8217;s &#8220;The American comeback&#8221; tour and occurred two months after the assassination of TPUSA founder Charlie Kirk. Some protesters mocked Kirk&#8217;s death, and physical confrontations broke out between supporters and protesters. One incident involved a man inciting the crowd about Kirk&#8217;s death before being arrested. The clashes included a brawl between a TPUSA supporter and a protester, resulting in multiple arrests and injuries. Protesters expressed anger that the university allowed TPUSA to use its facilities. Despite the unrest, the event proceeded with a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/anti-life-activists-to-target-churches-on-mothers-day\/\" title=\"Anti...Life Activists to Target Churches on Mother\u2019s Day\">strong police presence<\/a>. TPUSA featured guest speakers including comedian Rob Schneider and author Frank Turek. A UC Berkeley spokesperson reiterated the university&#8217;s commitment to supporting free speech for all speakers nonetheless of their viewpoints.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Violence breaks out at Berkeley TPUSA event as protesters mock Charlie Kirk&rsquo;s murder<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_2398021\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>Numerous people gathered for hours at the University of <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/california\/\">California<\/a>, Berkeley, on Monday to protest a <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/turning-point-usa\/\">Turning Point USA<\/a> event scheduled for that night.<\/p>\n<p>The event at the well-known <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/democrats-abused-gen-z-with-covid-insanity-for-years-and-gop-leaders-refused-to-campaign-on-it\/\" title=\"Democrats Abused Gen Z With Covid Insanity For Years And GOP Leaders Refused To Campaign on It\">left-wing university<\/a> was a stop on Turning Point USA&rsquo;s <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/secure-tickets.berkeley.edu\/30195\/30197\">&ldquo;The American Comeback&rdquo;<\/a> tour.
