Berkeley MAGA Protest:
2 AntiFa protesters throw two M-80's into the MAGA side of the downtown protest.
MAGA people jump over police divider to AntiFa side, big fist-fight breaks out.
Event has not even yet begun, officially (begins in 15 min).
The leftist Berkeley radicals are violent scum. They are the product of our government schools, media and other corrupted institutions. We can reasonably separate ourselves from the first two, and minimize interaction with the last one. At this point, voting isn’t going to meaningfully solve the Republic’s problem. Separation is the only long term solution.
Nobody should be able to cover their faces - why was that not stated in the ground rules if it’s against the law? Those ppl should be turned away from the area.
Nothing worse than a cowardly liberal thug.
Sooner or later cops will have to start breaking heads.
I don’t see a thing about fireworks there.
Well, see? M-80s ain’t on the list, perfectly legit to lob.
Always strikes me funny how the free speech movement was born and died in the same place ( Berkeley ).
And they throw the M-80s from inside a crowd so they can’t be identified.
No, the cops out there are pretty much all in for the enemy. Just waiting for the cops to bash some of the boot-lickers here on FR.
Or another way to look at it, the free speech movement was a (communist) lie from the get-go.
No mention of firearms on the naughty/nice list.
This is horrible. Also the anitfa name.....awful, just awful.
The UC and Berkeley police had stand down orders during the Milo riot some weeks ago.
They would not arrest or stop any of the violent anarchists who break laws and commit crimes.
Looks like up thread it was mentioned that a MAGA person was attacked and police are going to arrest the Trump supporter.
M-80’s are a quarter stick of dynamite. That is assault with a deadly weapon.
Who has high volume PA?
Looks like ‘slap jacks’ are OK. They are made out of leather (with a little lead shot in the end).
I’m getting old. If the ground might be rough, I probably would need to take a cane.
AntiFa now trying to remove it.
Let us hope so, but being Berkeley. I wouldn’t count on it.
Hi gang. I know that they’ve banned lumber or wood (any length) but I for one would show up with a walking cane and sue the bastards if they tried to take it away from me - I’m limping and gimping and can’t get around without one. Take it up with the bureaucrats who wrote the Americans with disabilities act. It is merely an extra added benefit that the same walking cane makes an excellent defensive and offensive weapon.
I see the problem. They didn’t put explosives on that list of banned items.
