White nationalists planning rallies in SF, Berkeley
San Francisco Chronicle ^ | August 15, 2017 | By Peter Fimrite and Joe Garofoli

With violence sparked by neo-Nazis in Virginia raising tensions across the U.S., white nationalists are planning rallies in San Francisco and Berkeley later this month.

A permit has been issued for a “Patriot Prayer” group to gather Aug. 26 at Crissy Field in San Francisco, said Sonja Hanson, spokeswoman for the Golden Gate National Recreation Area.

Berkeley Mayor Jesse Arreguin said another group, No Marxism in America, is planning an event on Aug. 27 at Martin Luther King Jr. Civic Center Park in Berkeley. The park was the site of two other gatherings of far-right protesters this year, including one on April 15 marked by violent clashes with counterprotesters.

No Marxism in America has not yet applied for a permit, Arreguin said. He said police are making plans to respond should the gathering turn violent.

“We will be prepared to keep our community safe and prevent any destruction of property,” Arreguin said.

“If this was really about freedom of speech — the city of Berkeley welcomes freedom of speech,” Arreguin said. “This isn’t about that. This is about confrontation. This is about people coming to commit violence and spout hate speech and promote bigotry and promote white supremacy.”

False flag stuff from start to finish.

Staged battles for the sole benefit of the media who have failed utterly in their Russia cock and bull story.

Are the Calexit Democrat proestors California Nationalists?

They want their state to secede (or become one with Mexico centuries after a lost war).

I know that they DO want to nationalize industries.

I do not accept the media’s characterization of every , America-loving, conservative group as “white nationalist.”

Check the permit applications. Other than those in prison that do it for protection (and probably because they’re demented criminals), who is actually living this life nowadays? Who?

As long as they have a legal permit to demonstrate, AntiFa, BLM, et al should feel free to not coordinate with police or go thru the hassle of obtaining one themselves. They are welcome to show up uninvited with masks and various implements of destruction to reek chaos and anarchy. This will help focus 98% of the rest of the countries idea about them.

The show must go on !!

Yep, these "events" are being held only where Democrats control things. Who are these "White nationalist" groups? Who is the leader of these groups? Let's find out. It sounds like the guy that organized the Charlottesville event was hard left until election day, then suddenly became a Trump supporter. Fishy, to say the least.

So what does this jackass Mayor think freedom of speech is then? Berkely welcomes free speech my a$$. I think his definition of free speech is speech that only supports the violent groups of Antifa & BLM.

The more I see of the action/reaction on these incidents, I keep wondering if what started out as nothing was turned into something by planning rather than right place/wrong time. And they were planned to cover up something so the media could redirect some stories. And now having any type of “normal” based rally in the bay area is like feeding a loose tiger. I will give odds it will erupt into something to hide something new or something that is big. In Seattle a few years ago when there was a meeting of major financial people and the rally against them up there was planned out with the bringing in of hundreds of dissidents that started the violence that the Seattle cops couldn’t stop or even quietly resolve using water and gas. Is Wasserman Shultz that important to them? Or what else are they about to be caught doing?

I do not accept the media’s characterization of every , America-loving, conservative group as “white nationalist.”

Even a broken clock is right twice a day. Some of these groups are "white nationalists"—and much worse—such as, for instance, the organizers and speakers of the "Unite the Right" rally in Charlottsville, who seek to establish legitimacy by associating themselves with real American conservatives and Patriots.

Trump supporters don't need to be polluted with true haters like the KKK, Supremacists, and pro-Nazis.

Fortunately, the numbers of such people in the United States are miniscule.

If Left wing Totalitarians and Right wing Totalitarians want to kill each other off, the American People will probably allow them to do so—secure in the knowledge that such fringe elements have absolutely nothing to do with our elected leaders or the citizenry at large.

Heck, I'd love to march with a yuge counter-protest group that repudiates both of these hateful ilk...

These guys ARE NOT NAZIs! They ARE NOT White supremacists.

However, they are being unfairly associated.

I guess we’re all Nazis now.

” He said police are making plans to respond should the gathering turn violent. “

Of course it will turn violent,that’s the aim of the people who protest the event.

If I can figure it out,why can’t they?
