Hannah Benjamin, 20, of Fremont, was also arrested for carrying a banned weapon but she was accused of battery on a police officer, too. Kerem Celik, 18, of Saratoga, was arrested for “disturbing the peace.”

It was not immediately clear what weapons the protesters were accused of carrying, nor was it known if any were members of Antifa. Weapons seized in the past from Antifa extremists have included bricks, hammers, bats, knives, scissors and chains.

A picture was circulating on Twitter purporting to show Roark photographed with Hillary Clinton. In the alleged photo of Roark, the woman is wearing a pin from Clinton's 2016 presidential campaign. It was not clear at what event the picture was taken or how Roark allegedly came to meet the 2016 Democratic presidential nominee.

UC Berkeley spokesman Dan Mogulof said security measures for the event may have cost $600,000.

Mogulof called the speech “a successful event” and said the university was interested in hosting speakers similar to Shapiro, a former Breitbart.com editor, in the future.

Shapiro retweeted the mugshots of those arrested and wrote: “A lineup of life’s winners.”

UC Berkeley had expected protests ahead of Shapiro’s speech. The officers were allowed to be armed with pepper spray at the protest -- the first time in two decades officers could carry the spray.

Former White House chief strategist Steve Bannon, author Milo Yiannopoulos and conservative commentator Ann Coulter are also slated to speak on the campus in the coming weeks.

Yiannopoulos was set to appear at the campus in February, but his event was canceled after protests turned violent. Protesters smashed windows of businesses and marred walls with graffiti.

Shut Berkley down for an entire year!

We cannot allow these people to continue their hate, violence and destruction of property.

They are their own "terrorist cell"...shut 'em down.

Good luck with that......soros will pay plenty more "ruff @ the edges" types as pictured to be there.

Everyone has a right to speak freely, but mob violence is not free speech.

It's time our government demand a stop to this. These people have a right to disagree, and say what they like. They do not have a right to create the dangerous situations they do. The do not have a right to impinge on others rights.

It's time to tell these people if they cause such violence and create such situations, they will be charged as a felon - which will stay with them all their lives. They should warn those who just want to 'play tough' and just show up, there will be no distinction. If you are there in the mob, you are part of it.

Let's bring out the tear gas, rubber bullets, high powered water hoses, and truckloads of handcuffs.

This needs to be stopped and now.

As with illegal immigration, any time we allow our laws to be openly and blatantly broken with no consequences, all other laws become less absolute. It only encourages more law breaking.
