I've visited Berkeley, CA many times when I was working in the Bay Area and frankly, the Lefties hanging out there need to get a collective life (pun VERY intended!). If it weren't for the famous "Gourmet Ghetto" just south of downtown that city is not worth visiting.

It’s the name of the company, i.e. a trademark.

You're right, jiggyboy. Here's the evidence:

Wikipedia: Dumpster (brand)

All these years, I had no idea "Dumpster" was an actual brand name!

Also: Wikipedia: dumpster (term)

Wow. To think that that thing was president and the female thing next to him first lady, senator and sect of state. But even at that, they pale (no pun intended) beside the Marxist Obamaniac.

I have sympathy with students peacefully protesting higher fees, but rioting and vandalism is so counterproductive. Who pays for the clean-up?

Shades of Tiananmen Square?

"By 1:45 a.m., fueled by anger and alcohol, the crowd reeled completely out of control..."

Hardly.

Well-educated hoods must be marginally better than completely dumb, uneducated ones...

Their education comes from UC Berkeley! So these particular hoods can only be described as marginally educated.

Why are they rioting when they have everything they’ve ever wanted?...

A government of communists, weakened military, ‘diversity officers’ at every employer, speech police, control of the country, total infiltration of the media and the courts, and most importantly a BLACK PRESIDENT.

Why is the Berkeley Communist Youth Brigades rioting again?

“Yes, this is the ‘’tolerance, peace and ‘’diversity’’ crowd.”

The irony is that this is the same mob that essentially caused the CA fiscal disaster with its decades-long campaign for goodies for all, especially strategically important lefty voting blocs.

Why is the word “Dumpster” capitalized in this article? ;-)
In Beserkeley, it's a way of life, too.

And illegal aliens too. Don’t forget them. My little state of New Jersey spends almost a billion a year on those wonderful folks.

29 rioters arreseted in Olympia, WA last night.

OLYMPIA – A woman arrested on suspicion of kicking a police officer in the groin during Thursday night’s anti-police rally downtown told an officer, “The last time an officer said I assaulted him the charge got dismissed, no contest. My mom has a lot of money, my friend,” court papers state.

Twenty-nine other people were arrested on suspicion of misdemeanor crimes during Thursday night’s anti-police march in downtown Olympia.

Jami Williams, 20, was arrested on suspicion of misdemeanor assault and vandalism after allegedly assaulting Tony Overman, a photographer for The Olympian. Overman said protesters spray-painted his face and camera as he took a photo of someone spray-painting a street sign. He said protesters also shoved him, wrested control of his cell phone and attempted to smash it on the ground.

The 28 other protesters were arrested on suspicion of misdemeanor riot.

Everyone arrested on suspicion of misdemeanors had been released from the Olympia Municipal Jail as of this morning.

The march consisted of a large group of people clad in black with their faces covered in hoods and scarves. Some protesters wear such clothing so police won’t recognize them. The march began on Olympia’s west side and continued down the Fourth Avenue Bridge to downtown Olympia.
