Their faces hidden behind black bandannas and hoodies, about a 100 anarchists and antifa — “anti-fascist” — barreled into a protest Sunday afternoon in Berkeley’s Martin Luther King Jr. Civic Center Park.
Jumping over plastic and concrete barriers, the group melted into a larger crowd of around 2,000 that had marched peacefully throughout the sunny afternoon for a “Rally Against Hate” gathering.
Shortly after, violence began to flare. A pepper-spray wielding Trump supporter was smacked to the ground with homemade shields. Another was attacked by five black-clad antifas, each windmilling kicks and punches into a man desperately trying to protect himself. A conservative group leader retreated for safety behind a line of riot police as marchers chucked water bottles, shot off pepper spray, and screamed “fascist go home!”
All told, the Associated Press reported at least five individuals were attacked. An AP reporter witnessed the assaults. Berkeley Police’s Lt. Joe Okies told The Washington Post the rally resulted in “13 arrests on a range of charges including assault with a deadly weapon, obstructing a police officer, and various Berkeley municipal code violations.”

>Soros lived and learned during the takedown of Germany by the Nazi Party. He is funding the takedown of the United States by his own Destruction Party.
As much as I dislike Soros, he’s really just a middle man. The real funding is coming from rich Democrats and Soros implements their policy.
Actually, “antifa” are the direct descendants of the Red revolutionaries in the Weimar era who rioted against and murdered their adversaries. Their violence caused the Nazi Brownshirts to become seen as their most effective opponents and facilitate the rise of Hitler and the destruction of democracy in Germany.
