It was only a matter of time before the growing extremism of the CTRL-Left became a pattern of violence:

In some ways, I think McInnes is an even bigger tool than Milo (if that's possible). But, again, he was there to give a speech, and the enlightened progressives became physically violent.
The hypocrisy is compounded by the fact that (with the exception of Milo's recent case), the media doesn't tend to cover overt violence and physical assaults from Lefty crowds. But, if an ignorant fuck at a Trump rally sucker punches a dude, that is a national story for a week. Seems that the narrative is that crowds of Trump supporters are violent thugs and crowds of so-called Progressives are peaceful tree hugging love-fests.
*Edited to add: Thus far, there's no proof that the woman in the video is a professor at NYU, so it's a bit hasty, if not reckless, for Reason to word the article as if it's a fact. However, she's still an idiot for saying what she said, no matter who she is.

Black bloc "anti-fascists" attacked right-wing media figure Gavin McInnes outside a New York University building on Thursday night.
McInnes was there to give a talk to students, but was incessantly interrupted by hecklers. Afterward, masked black bloc protesters assaulted the controversial former Fox News personality and sprayed him with mace. Eleven people were eventually arrested.
"I saw Gavin McInnes and I wanted to punch him in the fucking face, but he got away," said one protester.
Meanwhile, a woman claiming to be a professor—presumably at NYU, though this detail is unconfirmed—screamed at the police for not engaging in violence against McInnes and his followers (the so-called "Proud Boys").
...snip...
"You are fucking assholes!" the professor shouted at the New York Police Department (NYPD). "You're protecting the Nazis!"
The NYPD had arrived on the scene to prevent violence and escort McInnes out of the building safely. But the professor seemed to think the cops' job was to shut down a speaker she didn't like—by engaging in explicit violence against him.
"You should kick their ass!" the professor declared, referring to McInnes and his entourage. "You should!"
Note that the professor—a dead ringer for Melissa Click, by the way—considered violence to be beneath her and her owns students.
"These are kids who are trying to learn about humanity!" she said. "They're trying to learn about human rights and against racism and xenophobia, and LGBTQ rights, and you're letting these fucking neo-nazis near here! It's not up to these students to kick the ass of a neo-nazi! They don't have to raise their fist! They were taught to be peaceful! Fuck you!"
