At least 10 people were arrested and many others bloodied or bruised as a Berkeley rally by supporters of President Trump turned violent Saturday afternoon when fistfights broke out between marchers and counterprotesters, and crowds of masked anarchists joined the fray.

“It’s weird to see the (Trump) supporters in my city and my town,” she said.

Please stay in your city and town.

Physical violence against individual Americans has become part of the liberal identity.

[max americana]

That’s how it should be. Animals should be treated like animals. Animals = leftards. 8 years of pent-up rage and cant blame our side for letting loose.

“Leftist Attack Trump Supporters.”

Reality.

At least 10 people were arrested and many others bloodied or bruised as a Berkeley rally by supporters of President Trump turned violent Saturday afternoon when fistfights broke out between marchers and counterprotesters, and crowds of masked anarchists joined the fray. “This is a sad day,” Berkeley Councilman Ben Bartlett said in a television interview. “We’re better than this.” The rally, one of a number of pro-Trump events across the United States, began at 2 p.m. at Martin Luther King Jr. Civic Center Park. That’s less than a mile from the UC Berkeley campus where a violent protest Feb. 1 forced the cancellation of a speech by right-wing provocateur Milo Yiannopoulos. No comment.

Predictable

Now Obama has succeeded in bringing violence into the public venue of “protests.” When will Obama be seen for what he really is? An Alinsky fascist, unAmerican traitor -provocateur. The MSM floats his boat when America wants to sink it?

Obama and his running dogs need to be silenced so America can form a government.

[Yardstick]

Nice how the press has settled on the term “right wing provocateur” for Milo, which subtly excuses leftists for their violence against his speech.

Republicans were foolish to march on Berzerkeley. They should have know it would get nasty.

[Balding_Eagle]

The only foolish thing they did was to go unarmed.

Trump needs to call on Obama to call off his thug army....make the press cover it and put the blame on Obama

[Karl Spooner]

As usual, the Trump people end up on the short end of the stick. I watched it all day and didn't see one leftist thug hurt. This is in Berkeley today. The American flags and the Free Speech signs should tell who these people are.

“The only foolish thing they did was to go unarmed.”

Exactly...go to a Berkeley rally expecting a fight (and ready to deliver a good fight).

[sport]

Sooner or later, they will pick the wrong people to attack.

“We’re better than this.” - Berkeley councilman

No, this is EXACTLY who they are.

Fists today. Guns tomorrow?

[redcatcherb412]

Ties right in with loretta lynch’s call for more marches, blood and deaths as in the past. ‘We have done this before, we can do this again’. Go for it Loretta, please be at the head of the crowd.

Antifa repellant. Apply directly to the forehead.

If I ran the police department, I would have snatch teams grabbing anybody they can who’s covering their faces.

If I was Trump I would escalate this. Revoke Berkeley’s national accreditation, no student loans or federally insured loans to students attending Berkeley.
