Antifa members in Berkeley smash windows of US Marine Corps recruiting office during protes

An Antifa protest in Berkeley turned violent Sunday when one masked group member sucker-punched a detractor and other agitators smashed the windows at a Marine Corps recruiting post, cellphone video showed.

Authorities arrested 20 people during the dueling California demonstrations between Antifa and individuals affiliated with the so-called "alt-right." Three people suffered minor injuries after a group of "extremists" threw "explosives" -- believed to be fireworks and flares -- at police and the Alameda County Sheriff's officers. No members of law enforcement were hurt.

In a series of photos posted to Twitter by filmmaker Ford Fischer, members of Antifa can be seen smashing the windows of the U.S. Marines Corps recruiting office on Shattuck Avenue.

"No police were around as the black bloc traveled down the street, and a handful used hammers to smash the windows of Shattuck Ave US Marine Corps Recruiting office," Fischer wrote in a tweet.

He added: "After I filmed the antifa break the Marine Corps office window and throw a torch into a dumpster, one of them called a few over to confront me. They basically told me to leave, implying attack if I didn't. I left. 'Get the f--- back. Cops aren't here. They won't help you."

Besides the damage to the Marine Corps post, Berkeley police also said "an extremist element among a large group" damaged 21 city vehicles, setting one on fire, and slashed their tires. The group also set fires in trash bins, which were extinguished quickly. Officials did not identify the "extremist element."

Is it not time to designate ANIFA as a terrorist organization and treat them as such? What say Freepers.

That’s why the court decision allowing groups to sue the police in those areas for not providing protection is a step in the correct direction. Snowflake cops.

Try telling that to Sessions and the other Republican p&&sies in goverment. This is the SAME exact group that showed up in Charlottesville, and because of them got killed for their violence, all we heard about even from people like Ryan and Sessions, was “We should not allow white supermacist hate groups tear apart our country”..TALKING ABOUT THE SMALL GROUP THAT WAS THERE GETTING ATTACKED BECAUSE THEY WERE PROTESTING A STATUE BEING REMOVED.

And you still see the propaganda in the media...they EXCUSE this violence, because it was an “ALT RIGHT” or “NATIONALIST” group that is getting attacking, while calling ANTIFA “counter protesters”.
Add this will the big tech censorship, and we’re in trouble if we don’t get people in office who will take on this terrorism. POTUS called them out for their actions in Charlottesville and look how he was attacked BY HIS OWN PARTY.

Attacking US Marines is an act of war.

No Bail!

Military court

I don’t even want to be on the same planet as these disgusting low-life losers. I guess if you are that ugly ...you have to blame someone for your utter waste of a life existence.

Occasionally that statue of Lenin (in Seattle) will get spattered with red paint. Evidently at some folks in the area do remember what a monster Bloody Lenin was.

Of course the local communists clean the statue up as fast as possible.
