Oh you can bet it will come off..I just wish they would do so in the cameras view....

It appears not too many of them showed up...I suspect because they got their butts kicked at the last one.

ABC News - 2:50 p.m. PST

Hundreds of far-right protesters, some dressed in goggles, gas masks and knee pads, are rallying in support of conservative speaker Ann Coulter in downtown Berkeley.

Some at the rally in downtown Berkeley are wearing combat gear, including military grade ballistic helmets and body armor.

Dozens of police in riot gear stand ready to crack down on violence if it erupts.

Many of the protesters have “Build That Wall” or “Trump” stickers across their helmets and several are concealing their identities wearing mirrored ski goggles over their eyes.

So far, there’s no sign of opponents, or so-called anti-fascists who have violently clashed with the far-right demonstrators previously in Berkeley.

We should bear in mind that the anarchists/fascists/Antifa want to provoke a violent reaction. They want that more than anything.

When violence is met with violence; the MSM will have no trouble at all twisting their reports to lay the blame on the right. In turn, the anarchists believe that will put public opinion on their side. Unfortunately, they’re largely correct.

Please — don’t fall for their trap.

(I know, I know, at some point, enough is enough. Self-defense is a natural right. If they’re not stopped, they’ll just keep escalating. All true — but, so is the part about it all being part of a strategy to lay a trap.)

“Nice schraeder valve removal tool.”

Agree, SWEET! Didn’t know it existed...but lots of similar types on Amazon. May need to buy one, out of principle.
