Berkeley protesters form human chain to stop white students from getting to class

Students at the University of California, Berkeley held a day of protest on Friday to demand the creation of additional “safe spaces” for transgender and nonwhite students, during which a human chain was formed on a main campus artery to prevent white students from getting to class.

The demonstrators were caught on video blocking Berkeley’s Sather Gate, holding large banners advocating the creation of physical spaces segregated by race and gender identity, including one that read “Fight 4 Spaces of Color.”

Protesters can be heard shouting “Go around!” to white students who attempt to go through the blockade, while students of color are greeted with calls of “Let him through!”

Students turned away by the mob are later shown filing through trees and ducking under branches in order to cross Strawberry Creek, which runs underneath the bridge.

Protesting students went on to march through the Berkeley Student Union, chanting and disrupting students who are studying.

One student, who was not a part of the protest, tells the videomaker that the demonstrators are “being quite childish.”

“I agree with the right to protest, but disrupting the peace of others is not OK,” he says.

The group later occupies the school store, chanting “Students Over Profits!” They place an “eviction notice” on the store, which claims the university “wrongly allocated this two-story facility to third-party corporations, keeping in line with its intensifying legacy of prioritizing financial profit over student needs.”

Demonstrators finally made their way to an intersection in front of campus, where students blocked traffic and chanted, “Whose university? Our university!”

One of the top engineering schools in the country when I studied there in the sixties. We really worked hard keeping
up with students from India. While demonstrations were taking place on Sproul Plaza perfectly quiet at engineering
corner of campus. That hard study paid off well for those of
us who studied there. It was a great school then. I wonder
how it is now.

So they despise profits which is income. So stop paying the Marxist professors because money is so evil. Stop giving out welfare, gifted money, because it's so evil. Then ignore the wailing. Beat the snot out of them when they ramp up their violence.

Fingers in the eyes will break the chain

Back in the good old days you could count on Bezerkley to give a good farce. Now, it’s everywhere! Black lives are the only ones that matter don’tchaknow. ... Unless they’re in the womb.

It is no longer protest when blocking access ways, it is criminal activity. It negatively effects a working student’s success. Bring mace. Sprinkle fart liquid on their shirts.

Sue the school if campus police aid in blocking access ways. Demands all tuition refund retroactive.

Too bad an earthquake does flip Berkeley into the ocean. But, then, the liberal nutcakes would find another hole in which to gather.

All evil needs to prevail is for otherwise good men to do nothing when they see it being perpetrated.

Perfect opportunity for the intramural rugby team to make openings for students to pass through.

The protesters should be jailed, fined heavily, and EXPELLED for interfering with the civil rights of the students they are blocking. And I’d look the other way if some of them got beaten to a bloody pulp for their arrogance and stupidity.

Poor little snowflakes. They’re being targeted because of their race. But there’s something else, and they should be really really scared! They’re being bullied! YES! Bullying is bad. There’s even a national organization which opposes bullying! Oh wait. These people are white. never mind.

Isn’t this what they did to Black students at Little Rock - and the media expressed outrage while Eisenhower brought in the national guard.

Don’t look for any action from obama - it’s open season on White people.

The most disturbing cultural trend of the last 8 years has been the mainstreaming of anti-white racism. This is a trend that is accelerating with no sign of slowing down, and nary a peep of protest (or even acknowledgement) from anyone in the corridors of power in this country.

Try to push through, and at first hint of an assaulting response, all white kids hi-power pepper spray them all.

These are our canaries in the liberal coal mine. When the savages start raping and murdering these canaries, it will be time to lock and load and man the barricades.
