Even though Donald Trump will be the president, the universe proved Friday night that at least some bullies get what they deserve. An angry protester threw what appeared to be dog poop, hitting despised pharma bro Martin Shkreli in the face.
Shkreli, best known for raising the price of a critical cancer drug from $13.50 to $750 per pill, was scheduled to appear at the University of California, Davis for a speaking event alongside another infamous troll, Milo Yiannopoulos.
The event was promoted as "a Twitter villain extravaganza," as both men are ultra-right agitators and enthusiastic Trump supporters who have been kicked off Twitter for harassing women.

The tour returns this Friday the 13th,with guest star Martin Shkreli. A killer night ahead of us, UC Davis... |
Protesters, including some UC Davis students, were angered that the men were speaking on campus at the invitation of the Davis College Republicans and managed to shut down the event by blockading the entrance.
Caught in the fray, was jerk face Martin Shkreli, who was captured on video by ABC 10's Frances Wang as angry protesters surrounded him. One person in the crowd screamed, "You piece of shit!" at Shkreli and threw what appears to be dog poop at him, hitting Shkreli in the face.
In the video, posted on Twitter, Shkreli poses for a selfie with a fan, then steps back, wiping something from his jacket and cheek.

College Republicans rescheduled the event for 1 P.M. PST Saturday on the UC Davis Quad. "We will not stand for the regressive left perpetuating violence, censoring speech, and spreading hate," the group said on its Facebook page.
Pro-tip: If you're against "spreading hate," you probably shouldn't give Milo Yiannopoulos and Martin Shkreli a platform to peddle their vile, intolerant, hateful filth.
