Awaiting the reports of the outcome of this.
Color me suspicious.
This doesn’t pass the sniff test; it doesn’t even past the cringe test.
Implicit is the assumption that there are an appreciable number of in-your-face Trump supporters willing to challenge Berkeley, and give forewarning of their presence.
Violence at this event, as they will well know, will only harm Trump supporters’ image in the press. It will also help balance and therefore erase leftists’ deserved reputation as the side that is causing violence.
I suspect that some student has just learned about the Skokie march, and thought, “Hey, we could recreate the same thing here. I could even testify before the Supreme Court! I hope I get hit!”
I agree...the sad part is that there are plenty of other places in the SF Bay area where this event could have been held with a positive outcome.
