Seems if he were a real lefty plant he could just give them the secret handshake and be fine, maybe even a raise.

Yes. The Brits and others brought them to the USA but the north had more than their share. They got the moral high ground when they realized they preferred cheap European labor. They didn’t have to house and feed the European families.

Slavery has a horrible history. It is sad it was ever allowed in the USA.

But I don’t believe most southerners sent their children off to war so wealthy landowners could own slaves. I certainly wouldn’t have gone to war for that. There’s no myth about that.

What we don’t need are “organizations”.

More than odd...
Most likely a paid lefty flown in to start a racial fight with the “Other Leftys”

Not everybody in Berkeley is a lefty.

Sure, the town skews hard to the left, but there are all kinds in that town.

I would wager that nobody who works for Top Dog is a lefty.

Top Dog is rabidly libertarian. The walls are plastered with articles from AEE and The Freeman. It has been this way for decades.

Folks hear the name “Berkeley” and they assume the person is a lefty whack-job. I am telling you, if this guy worked for Top Dog, he was almost certainly a libertarian.

...again, not if you lived in CA.
Rent in Berkeley probably runs almost 3k/month for a 1br.
The guy was most likely hired off Craigslist to be a paid rioter.

The FBI already knows who is paying these protestors.

The same people who are paying them to run their part of the ‘Deep State”.

If everyone in America has to live in fear of losing their job for expressing non liberal opinions are we still a country where speech is free? No we are not. The left is using a loophole to kill free speech and freedom of assocation.

The first amendment restricts only government action. There is no right to free speech in a private place of employment.

If it gets out that you hired a white supremacist in Berkly you could be put out of business or your business burned. They had no alternative but to fire him. This guy is probably a contrarian who got sick of PC and leftists and went to far the other way. He will now obviously have to move out of Berkley and probably out of California since this came up. Maybe he will moderate his views and become a real person by living in a real place with real people.

To those of us schooled in Blacksburg, VA for 4 years or more and other clear thinkers from everywhere, UV(a) is far from a “jewel” and not quite what the elitists who study there allege it to be.

But UVA did produce that idiot who went to North Korea and ripped the poster off the wall. It does get some credit for that, right? :-)

Slavery was a part of history, I don’t get what they are attempting to do by erasing the past. Seems remembering it and making sure it doesn’t happen again is the way to go.

That is my take on it. This visual eradication of American history got its starts in academia. The left went after any institution that used Indians as mascots. Once they gained some success, it was on to bigger and better targets of opportunity. Past history often isn't pleasant. Trying to sanitize, hide, remove, and ignore it is a big mistake, IMO.

When will Berkeley change its name? It’s named for Bishop Berkeley, who owned slaves during the years when he lived in Rhode Island.

They don’t have to house and feed illegals, we do that for them.

Do something the left disagrees with, and lose your job.....But he did something the left DID agree with. He was PAID to go there and help with the impression the legal protesters started something. He just didn’t know who they were going to assign him to. BTW, where is the IRS in demanding taxes from the paid arseholes?
