Pennsylvania State University canceled a planned comedy event on Monday featuring Gavin McInnes, co-founder of the far-right vigilante group the Proud Boys, citing a “threat of escalating violence”.
“Due to the threat of escalating violence associated with tonight’s event, Penn State University Police determined that it was necessary to cancel the speaking event in the interest of campus safety. Demonstrations regrettably turned violent,” the university said in a statement on its website.
