KTVU anchor: 'I experienced hate firsthand' at Berkeley rally
San Francisco Chronicle ^ | August 28, 2017 | By Frank Somerville

Posted on 08/28/2017 2:51:20 PM PDT by Oldeconomybuyer

I experienced hate firsthand today.

It came from these people dressed in all black at a protest in Berkeley. Ironically they were all chanting about no hate.

Some had shields and gloves. Some had helmets. Some had gas masks.

I was watching them and taking it all in. I came there on my own time. Because I wanted to see things first hand. I was dressed in shorts and a tank top.

I took two pictures and afterward they started screaming at me. I thought for sure they were going to attack. I was just waiting for it.

I grew up in Berkeley. I marched in anti-war protests during the sixties. It's one thing to read about hate. It's another thing to be right next to it. In my opinion, these people dressed in black are just as hateful and intolerant as the people they are protesting against.

Most of the people out there in Berkeley were non-violent. They were there for the cause. They just wanted to come out and stand up against hate. I totally support them.

But I do not support extremists, whether they are on the right or the left.

Hate is hate.

And I experienced it firsthand today.

It was sad to see.

So, (of course) Trump was right and this little essay proves it.

The Media.

Hated by the left. Hated by the right.

And deserves all the hate they get.

Neither does Donald Trump. But he's crucified for it.

..... yup .... He definitely went of the reservation by not sticking with the sacred unbreakable narrative code of the media ...... "Thou shalt only say what the Democrat Party tells you to say"

Can someone give me any evidence of hate on the right.

They blather about that constantly, but I haven’t seen one incident where those on the right dressed to hide identity, carried clubs, or attacked anyone unprovoked.

The Left does it at every one of these events, and even when the Leftist guy comes out and admits who the violent people were, he addresses the right as if they are just as bad.

Nonsense!

Unfortunately most of the casualties will be taken by this group. These are the people that will be run over or take a stray bullet. And it won't matter if one of the ANTIFA thugs gets it, because the Media will go into full Trayvon-mode.
