Berkeley Riot Explodes: Trump Supporters Beaten to Ground as Rally Turns Into Bloody Nightmare
Independent Journal Review ^ | March 5, 2017 | Kyle Becker

Posted on 03/06/2017 5:59:57 AM PST by Tolerance Sucks Rocks

A pro-Trump rally at the University of California, Berkeley turned into a violent, bloody riot Saturday evening.

The civil disturbance led to several attendees in pro-Trump clothing and American flag regalia being assaulted.

Police in riot gear, and even a man in a gas-mask looking helmet and makeshift shield with an American flag intervened after currently unidentified men were assaulted and beaten on the ground.

Some Trump supporters were pepper-sprayed by opposition, according to Buzzfeed News.

Why didn’t they fight back? Cops did nothing. Even to those with sticks.

Compare photos taken at various riots.

Is there a trend?

Can the conspiracy charge stick?

Did the police have a stand-down order?

If it was like our rally, they were armed with clubs and we were not. We just had more men to counter their intimidation tactics. Cudos to the Trumpers for fighting back.

Odd, there was nary a word of this on GMA or any of the news shows over the weekend, so it didn’t happen....................

They did fight back. With style. And the people on our side were the ones who got arrested. Google "based stickman" to see the videos.

They use a fist, you use a club. They use a club, you use chains. They use a knife, shoot them. That’s the Chicago way.

I think one would have to be crazy to go to such a thing. Sorry.

They won’t do this in Louisville. Our laws are clear in KY. If a CC holder feels that he is being threatened by “great physical harm”, he is authorized to use deadly force.

You attack one of them at a pro-Trump rally, you just may get shot. Dead.

And then, of course, it REALLY begins.

Then the police also assaulted the Trump supporters.

Sssoooo is this just a coincidence that the more violent anti-Trump riots only occur in “gun free zones, in the most liberal states?”

I mean, why don’t these cowards go to Austin, Dallas, Talladega, or Phoenix...It’s obvious why they stick to Berkeley...I mean if you are a big flaming liberal pussy hat wearing anti-Trumper why would you dare to go somewhere where men would feel compelled and capable of defending themselves...Show me anti-Trump rioters in Austin, Dallas, Talladega, or Phoenix and I will show some rioters having a real bad day.

Are any of the most violent anti-Trump riots occurring in Republican controlled states?

So the Berkeley Gestapo let the fascist snowflake Neanderthals have their way with the peaceful Trump supporters, huh? Great. If you can’t depend on the police, who the hell can you depend on? This happened a lot when Nazism was on the rise in Germany.
