Police in Berkeley, Calif., arrested at least 17 people Sunday as several hundred people gathered in the city for planned dueling protests that sparked fears of broader violence.

Two groups of alt-right protesters had announced plans for a "No to Marxism" rally at the city's Civic Center Park earlier in the week. That prompted plans for a "Sweep Out The Facists" march and counter-rally that drew hundreds of people downtown.

Introduced to a bar of soap in a tube sock to the face maybe. Throw in a roll of quarters or a pool ball for good measure.

**On Sunday, Portland Police Chief Danielle Outlaw ordered a review of the use of force **

I saw that. Here’s the kicker and the tell, as to who exactly is behind-the-scenes of these agitator groups of useful idiots fomenting social unrest :

Police “targeted Portland residents peacefully counter-protesting against racist far-right groups, including white supremacists, white nationalists and neo-Nazi gangs,” the Oregon chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations and the Portland chapter of the Democratic Socialists of America said in a statement. It called on officials to investigate.”

#33. Re “Three middle aged and old persons of German Jewish extraction apparently (if the names are anything to go by).

WRONG.
Wallach can be a name found in many European countries, including England, Scotland, perhaps Ireland, etc.

Brenner is more English/Irish, or perhaps a version of a German name. Could be a version of Brennan, Brendan, etc.

Koster - is wide open as in Kevin Coster (just spelled differently but sounds the same). Not a lot of Jewish girls named “Kristen” which is version of “Christ” “Krist”, Chris Kringle or ‘Kristallnacht”.

Nice try at anti-Semitism but you get no prize, except maybe the “Al Sharpton Award for Anti-Semitism”.

It was nice seeing the Portland cops keeping some of the more problematic AntiFa at bay yesterday.

Though I did see one conservative bleeding from some sort of attack. Don’t know the story on that one. Just happened to catch the video where they were trying to get him medical attention.

Looks like they lie like Obama. No surprise.

“WRONG.”

No, all three are probably Jews. At this point, there’s no evidence to the contrary.

“Wallach can be a name found in many European countries, including England, Scotland, perhaps Ireland, etc.”

No, he’s Jewish.

“Brenner is more English/Irish, or perhaps a version of a German name. Could be a version of Brennan, Brendan, etc.”

False. I don’t believe there’s any such thing as a Brenner “version of Brennan, Brendan, etc.” because Brenner is German and Brennan is exclusively Irish (not even English as you falsely asserted). You’re literally making things up out of some sort of bizarre desperation.

“Koster - is wide open as in Kevin Coster (just spelled differently but sounds the same).”

Idiot. It’s Kevin CostNer, not Kevin Coster. You can’t even get the names rights.

“Not a lot of Jewish girls named “Kristen” which is version of “Christ” “Krist”, Chris Kringle or ‘Kristallnacht”.”

Actually, there are a surprising number of Jews in America named Kris, Kristine, Kristen, Chris and even Christopher. Chris Berman from ESPN is an example. You know far less than you think you do.

“Nice try at anti-Semitism but you get no prize, except maybe the “Al Sharpton Award for Anti-Semitism”.”

No anti-semitism at all. Just noting an historically verified trend. Thanks for make a fool out of yourself in a desperate attempt to cover up the painfully obvious. History can’t be refuted or ignored no matter how much you try.

Is FauxNews still reporting the two groups as having been “dueling”?
