EXCLUSIVE — MMA Fighter Jake Shields on How He Saved a Man in Berkeley From Antifa Rioters
Breitbart ^ | 2 Feb 2017 | Charlie Nash

Posted on 02/02/2017 11:17:42 PM PST by Lonely Bull

Professional MMA fighter and UFC Veteran, Jake Shields, was forced to rescue a civilian who was being severely beaten by “anti-fascist” rioters in Berkeley, California, on Wednesday, after police officers allegedly refused to intervene.

Realizing that law enforcement officers were not going to help the man who was being cornered and violently attacked, Shields took the moment into his own hands, and fought off the mob of rioters while he helped the injured and bloodied man to safety.

“The show got cancelled so I was kind of checking things out,” said Shields in an interview with Breitbart Tech. “Obviously it was a rough crowd, so I didn’t want to walk in the middle of it, and all of a sudden I see this guy running out completely covered in blood and these guys were chasing him with sticks, trying to circle him.”

“The show got cancelled so I was kind of checking things out,” said Shields in an interview with Breitbart Tech. “Obviously it was a rough crowd, so I didn’t want to walk in the middle of it, and all of a sudden I see this guy running out completely covered in blood and these guys were chasing him with sticks, trying to circle him.”

“Mobs of people. Nobody helped, but people were yelling ‘get up, get up.’ Like fifteen people were trying to attack him and others were cheering them on,” he continued. “No one helped, no one had the balls to step in, so my reaction was to run in and start picking people off.”

There’s a petition at WH website to issue an arrest warrant for Soros. Anybody can sign. Even deplorables.

Anyone dressed all in black, with a facemask, carrying a sign that doubles as a weapon is a criminal and since the cops won’t deal with them....

That mayor is a collaborator. Some of the Berkeley faculty are too. With a new sheriff at the DOJ we can hope some of them end up in prison.

“Time to worry as much about domestic terrorists as we do foreign ones.”

You’ll find that many of these ‘domestic terrorists’ are in fact imports. Especially true here in California.

They should be unmasked, and their parents visited... respectfully of course.

Indeed. More real commandos, and fewer keyboard commandos. We need more action, and less sitting around talking.

Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!

"This rent a riot crap needs to stop"

It isn't, until we do something about it. What are you willing to do?

How many of these “protests” have occurred in right to carry states? I’m really asking if any have?

Whoever paid the rioters should be charged with conspiracy to riot or sedition!

Outnumber them, hem them in, unmask them. Defend yourself and others.

Numbers make all the difference. When something is likely to go down, SHOW UP and LINK UP. Wear a MAGA hat or an NRA hat or similar so we know who’s who. Leave the wife and kids at home.

“...more action, less sitting around talking.”

Fine, but some of us have already put in our time on the front lines. I’ve physically confronted these leftist thugs for 50 years plus, as a student, a volunteer demonstration marshal, a National Guardsman, a demonstrator, a FReeper, and as an individual. Now I am in my 70’s. I need my cane to help me walk, not to defend myself. Who will replace me, and those like me on the streets?

One day soon these “protesters” will catch bullets.

The FBI is there and knows about the stand down order

Private Attorneys have hit the ground looking for victims according to the NBC Bay Area News

Great job, Mr. Sheilds. Riiots will happen unless more men like Shields are around.

What’s needed is a go fund me site that raises money to pay for MMA fighters to attend these protests, dressed in red Trump gear.

When the masked anarchists attack, they’ll be easy to arrest later, as they’ll have to go to a near by emergency room for broken limbs. Being put in an arm lock and watching your arm get snapped will tend to take the protest right out of you. There is no tapping out on the street.

I watched Sheilds’ Twitter video of him talking to some of these anarchist dweebs and it’s priceless. Best comment on Twitter was “Notice how fast these masked protesters got their bitch on when they realized who they were dealing with”.

Sounds like they should be knocking on the door of the guy this MMA guy had to rescue.

This is a “Brown Shirt” tactic.

There were already official uniformed police in Berlin and other German cities in the 1930s.

But they were held back when the unofficial non-governmental Brown Shirts were let loose to smash windows and bust heads.

The politicians and university administrators held the police back, to the anarchists could riot freely and beat up their political opponents.

Just like the old Nazi Brown Shirts.
