Free Speech Rally in Berkeley results in several injuries, 20 arrests
The Daily Californian ^ | 4/15/2017 | The Daily Californian News Staff

Posted on 04/17/2017 10:29:15 AM PDT by SteveH

Eleven people were evaluated for injuries at the event, and seven were brought to local hospitals for treatment. Arrests include charges of assault with a deadly weapon and other felony assaults, according to an advisory from BPD. Police will continue to make arrests after reviewing social media footage and other video footage of the event, the advisory stated.

The park was divided by two bright orange nets by 10 a.m. On either side of the barrier, protesters and counter-protesters held large banners, one reading “Defend America” and another reading “Anti-Fascist Anti-Racist.” Protesters jumped over the barrier several times, eventually taking it down completely, and engaged in altercations with the opposing sides.

Uh-huh. I notice it does not state that it was the antifa-ggots who were the ones doing this.

Sessions needs to have this investigated. If the police have been ordered by the local government to stand down and ignore those in danger of injury, it needs to be addressed.

They’d haul your ass off to jail in a heartbeat if you threw one of those on the 4th of July.

"Trump voters are a minority." Au contaire, Pierre. Image and video hosting by TinyPic Popular vote? Bogus: illegals, dead people, nursing home residents with senile dementia, multiple voters and other frauds shouldn't have counted and won't in 2020. Those who didn't vote, in my `umble opinion, forfeit their status as citizens who matter. 2,623 patriot counties to 487 useless eaters. 30 red to 20 blue states. We won big ..... the Bezerkely masked cowards are an even smaller minority in the minority DemoKKKrat party. It's w-w-wasp and `ornet season.

You can believe that if you like. Trump voters are a minority just as Hillary voters were a minority since a huge percentage of the American citizenry does not vote. Hence, they already have 40% not voting for them. For one candidate to get a majority s/he would have to get a huge majority of the actual votes cast.

This is biggest WTF I’ve ever seen.

I have been saying for 20 years: The police are not our friends.

Leftists infest government and seek supremacy. Police are unionized, and overwhelmingly controlled by communistic chiefs.

The ordinary cop may be conservative; he has no political power. He is a pawn in political warfare. It is the communist way.

San Jose Convention Center, anyone?

Berkley cops are obeying Party orders. They have been told to stand down. Thus...

Note that these riots, all of them, happen where the "rioters" have the support of the local government. Funny how history repeats itself. The Weimar Republic had the same problem, where Nazi SA thugs could only operate with local government support. Portland and Seattle have the same political structure and desire for getting rid of this whole Constitution thing. The Democratic Peoples Republic of Kali actually believes that the United States can't function without them.

Change their minds. Use their EPA to turn off their water. Cut off ALL funds, including SSA. Choke off all fuel deliveries, for environmental reasons, use the FAA to divert all commercial air traffic to the peoples republics. Let's see how self sufficient they are.

Stupidity begets cruelty which begets sadism. Demonstrate the true power of this fully intact battle station...

“Stunning to watch uncontrolled fighting in the streets while the cops sit around and eat donuts.”

HOW DARE YOU INSULT THE BERKELEY POLICE AS IF THEY SAT AND ATE DONUTS INSTEAD OF DOING THEIR JOBS!!!

(They were eating non-GMO, gluten-free, soy-flour croissants!)

How many of those arrests were the antifa terrorists? I thought there were 21 that were arrested as reported yesterday or Friday evening?

Take out the illegal alien vote and you have a Trump majority.

Where nonvoters stand on the topic of supporting Trump is unknowable.

You still don’t get it. If 40% of eligible voters DON’T VOTE no one can get a majority. Your confusion is because you are looking at votes cast NOT potential voters.

Get someone to explain it to you.

Let’s drop the pretense of “you’re confused and stupid.” Obviously, these numbers are not difficult. What’s difficult is knowing how many people support Trump and real patriotism.

I’m not saying anything that contradicts simple logic. I’m only speaking against any attempt to create a false psychological effect in the mind of patriots or Trump voters.

National Merit Finalist. Had I gone to another school I would have had a scholarship but I preferred the University of Chicago.

At any rate, what I posted is not difficult to understand.
