BERKELEY, Calif. -- Hundreds of people marched through Berkeley for a third night a row, blocking a major highway and stopping a train as activists in this ultra-liberal bastion protested grand jury decisions not to indict white police officers in the deaths of two unarmed black men.

Demonstrators blocked traffic on both sides of Interstate 80 in Berkeley, while another group stood on and sat on train tracks, forcing an Amtrak train to stop Monday night. At one point, a woman in a vehicle stuck in the traffic jam caused by the I-80 blockage went into labor, and the local fire department had to get her to a hospital....

Great. Selfish bastards disrupting people's lives for some made up causes. If they really 'care' about black lives, picket the local Planned Parenthood Office, or picket their local 'Bloods' and 'Crips' lodges...
Just cowards causing disruptions in safe environments.

Isn’t it odd that Berkley would get so upset about rioters? They love it when it takes place elsewhere. It’s time some of these ivory tower liberals have to accept what their treachery has gained the nation. What’s good for Los Angeles, Ferguson, New York, and other places belongs in Berkley. Enjoy, you liberal bastards.

Bates, the mayor of Berkeley, and those of his leftist ilk, have essentially created this monster through their own past revolutionary associations and actions. They own it, like it or not.
