The final Turning Point USA tour event at UC Berkeley on Monday erupted in violence, as hundreds of protesters clashed with attendees and law enforcement, marking a chaotic conclusion.
Protesters, some reportedly linked to Antifa, confronted attendees of the conservative event, headlined by Rob Schneider and Frank Turek, leading to physical altercations and widespread unrest.
The clashes resulted in multiple arrests, including four UC Berkeley students for felony vandalism, and several injuries, occurring two months after TPUSA founder Charlie Kirk's assassination.
