CalStuff has excellent coverage of the event, including photos of both protesters and supporters, the news media, and campus police (who, by the way, did a great job maintaining order).

Great column by Melanie Smith at the Cal Patriot. An excerpt:

Prior to the event, I asked a few prospective protestors what they thought of Ms. Malkin’s book.

The most common reply? “I don’t read racist trash like that!”

Said I, “Then how can you tell whether she’s a racist?”

“You’re a f***ing racist, too!”

Res Ipsa Loquitur accuses a Boalt Law School student of plagiarism.

Sameer at Creative Destruction was frustrated by the level of organization of the event, but acknowledges that “the BCR is a student group. They don’t have years of experience organizing events, they are learning–that’s the point. The effort they put into making this event go off smoothly was incredible. They are all very brave to put on an event such as this in Berkeley, and I commend them for it, for fighting to preserve our right to speak.”
