Berkeley, and California in general, is reaping the fruits of its socialist ideology (not held by Jim Thompson and others). The rioters think think low college tuition at taxpayer expense is a "right".

Working with the democratic party to bring about marshall law.
Geez these “generated crisis” to many to count on my fingers and toes! Throw everything out there and lets see which one lights the fuse

[abigailsmybaby]

The biggest freeloaders always have the biggest mouths and most hateful intentions.

[Paladin2]

Shouldn’t they be protesting at the houses of Pelosi, Boxer and HighQualityBeerMug?

[USNBandit]

One step closer to France.

Blue on blue...

[ataDude]

Those silly, peace-loving young dems... gotta love ‘em.

[catnipman]

These people are idiots! Don't they know they need to be firebombing the state capitol building in Sacramento to have any real impact?

Typically lazy stoner California college students. They sally forth from their dorms in a haze of pot smoke to firebomb something in order to make a positive impact and help fix the economy, and then they don't get any further than the Chancellor's residence before confusion sets in, resolution flags, and they need to relight their dubbies. They decide, oh what the heck, this building right here is good enough. Bombs away!

That's strange... they don't fit the profile from Napalitano's DHS report about Domestic Terrorists.

Hmmmm.

Thanks for the memories....

These kids have been getting a free ride for years. Time to pay the piper.

How ironic and sweet this is...

"The eight were arrested on suspicion of rioting, threatening an education official,..."

Are university bureaucrats now some sort of special protected class? What class of crime would it be if the person was only a janitor or just a student?

[umgud]

This is taught behavior.

[OafOfOffice]

He lives on campus provided for and maintained by students and taxpayers funding. He should have listened to the students and then relayed the problems to the budget committee. But he was comfortable. He was not losing pay or housing.

And there is that funding to UNIONS that these students are paying for in higher tuition that he should have tried to stop.

You teach liberals to attack when others do not agree with them and guess what happens?!?

[null and void]

threatening an education official???

They needed a special law for this???

How is that different than threatening one of us serfs?

[17th Miss Regt]

...protesters also threw incendiary devices at police cars and the home of Chancellor Robert Birgeneau about 11 p.m. Friday. There were no fires ...

They could not even make a working Molotov cocktail.

"Dude, you're suppose to light the rag before you throw the bottle!"

"Oh yeah, I forgot. That was some dynamite weed, huh?"

"Protesters (rioters) damage Calif. university leader's home (and throw bombs at police cars)"

And not a tea-partier in the bunch...imagine that.

Worker’s Paradise!

The result of "voting in your own economic interest"
