Good old Bezerkeley! Some things never change. ( although actually it was a pleasant mostly clean college town 70 or 80 years ago).

Scotland outlawed bladed devices, why not here? And that includes lawn mowers, hedge trimmers, letter openers, and nail clippers.

Jeez, another case of a black man trying to “get some”. I’m glad the intended victims didn’t take it lying down but counter attacked which provided time for the cops to arrive to take the lunatic off the streets. Of course, I’m sure he’ll be quickly released by leftist “prosecutors”.

Gavin Newsome said the attack was Trump's fault. If Hillary was elected the man would be an outstanding citizen. 😀

Hey, he only used the blowtorch on the victim instead of the blowtorch, hatchet and knife so it was mostly peaceful. I’m sure after quick talk with a social worker, the victim will realize the error of their ways.

Black perp, so nothing to see out of the ordinary. Just a normal black guy with a blowtorch, a knife and a hatchet. That's some racist shit the perp is doing. No sympathy for him as long as they do this.

It’s Berkeley he’s in big trouble:

Berkeley became first US city to ban natural gas. Here’s what that may mean for the future

Lighting privileged people on fire is one thing. Violating Berkeley’s environmental ordinances is another.

the torch was first,

the ax was worst,

but he smelled the tea,

from Ireland, from Lebanon, from Palestine...

and...Berkely!

"Lighting privileged people on fire is one thing. Violating Berkeley’s environmental ordinances is another."

He'll only be charged for violating enviroment ordinance, because he was "peacefully" protesting.
