I have seen a lot of people make a big fuss about that snippet from a campus email, but to Berkeley's credit they know they won't get any support from the mayor and local PD who have consistently stood down at every turn and they are making a lot of logistical accommodations for this event (shutting down adjacent buildings, parking lots, etc.). I view that email more as an invitation for offended students to seek more appropriate outlets to voice their frustration than joining in with the riots.
With that said, I'm not entirely sure why it's a Ben Shapiro event that's causing this uproar. Ideologically speaking, he's your everyday run-of-the-mill conservative who stands out because he's young and brash. I would understand the outrage more if it were Milo or Coulter.
