Supporters of President Donald Trump are clashing with counter-protesters during a march in support of the president in Berkeley, California.

People wearing goggles, motorcycle helmets, gas masks or with their face half-covered with bandanas are pushing each other, throwing punches and hitting each other with the sticks holding their signs.

I was at the March-4-Trump event at Jefferson City, MO. We had about 400 patriots and ONE "anti". He was not disruptive and not very effective.

I’m going to guess that the Berkeley cops did nothing. As usual.

The Left has made it where you don’t attend a rally any more unless you are prepared mentally physically to fight. If they use females to do their dirty work such as pepper spraying the elderly gentlemen, Treat them like you would a man. The former military need to brush up on their unarmed defense tactics, judo hand to hand to hand fighting skills. It is time to start fighting fire with fire.

Probably arrested the peaceful Trump supporters.

I was just adding a comment to the commenter above me.

The injuries are only allowed to work one way. Our people would be jailed. Their people wear masks.

I was speculating anyway. The photo does make me mad, and I’m convinced that nothing happened to the idiot that did it.

It does. It is high time we started fighting fire with fire. From this point forward, anytime one attends a rally, one needs to be prepared mentally and physically to fight. It appears that anyone that attends a Trump rally, no matter what their age or physical condition, all are considered by the Left to be fair game. They must be prepared to act according to that in order to prevent the Left Anarchists to seriously injure them.

That would be my guess also.

I know. That is why I don’t attend. I am not going to stand still and allow the Leftist anarchists maul and maim me without fighting back. I would any former military too brush up on their hand to hand fighting tactics and the non military to invest in unarmed defense training. It is a matter of survival. The rally attendees.

............I agree. And, there are scores, if not hundreds of spray cans one can take along to defend oneself with that are legal and won’t cause permanent harm but will ruin your day.

Yes, Berkeley's finest did decide to throw the book at a Trump supporter who fought back. Look up "Based Stick Man".

There is a fundraising page for him at https://www.wesearchr.com/bounties/based-stick-man-legal-defense-fund
