San Bernardino anti-Islamic law rally and counter-protests trigger violence

A San Bernardino rally against Islamic law being implemented in the United States drew hundreds of protesters and counter-protesters Saturday near the site of the Dec. 2, 2015, terrorist attack – but also sparked violence and acts of vandalism, police say.

Sponsored by the nonprofit group ACT for America, the Inland March Against Sharia was one of numerous rallies held nationwide.

Counter-protester Alex Sanchez, a business agent for Teamsters Local 896 in Los Angeles, said he was offended by ACT for America’s choice of location for their protest, the IRC, where on Dec. 2, 2015, 14 people, including 13 San Bernardino County public health employees, were fatally shot and 22 others wounded in a terrorist attack implemented by radicalized Muslim spouses Syed Rizwan Farook, a county health inspector, and his wife, Tashfeen Malik.

Seems like the logical place to hold an anti-Sharia protest to me.

Why am I suspicious of these rallies?

Just another union $hit disturber! That Teamsters Local doesn’t even represent anyone in San Bernardino County. He’s 50 miles from his union’s HQ.

Why am I suspicious of these rallies?

I can understand your suspicion .I am a bit suspicious myself. Perhaps they are designed to smoke out the lefties so the public can see who aligns with radical Islam.

Just a microcosm of the coming clash of civilization and *slam.

In what way?

I’m a fairly cynical SOB these days so my automatic reaction is toward wariness and distrust. I thought the speed with which the ACT organization put together these events across the country was a bit suspicious. I thought the similarity of people (by ideology) in attendance was a bit suspicious.

But what I really thought suspicious was the uniformity of opposition to the Anti-Sharia marches. It was clear that their response was highly organized and orchestrated. They all had the same idiotic talking points and taunts.
