Nah that's quite alright man, we're good I do think there's a few others that aren't squarely left or right, even you aren't as left as some. Regarding the last paragraph, just like the memes, that doesn't excuse their behavior. I don't find it surprising but I do find it reprehensible. 

 

Yeah, I haven't seen the right attacking you though for when you say something against Trump, nor me for that matter.

No they haven't -- exactly right. One person said in a thread that I've never criticized Trump on the forums, when there were several threads right below the one they posted in, where I hammered him on Syria and the economy. How the left tries to associate themselves with logic is quite a feat. I don't think they even realize how many independents/moderates they alienate with this behavior.

Hey, whatever floats your boat...

I only stick around here because a lot of people here provide great entertainment.

I think I have an idea who you're talking about, and it's not me

Yes you provide no entertainment. You need to stop being rational.

 

(I'm really not talking about one person. There are quite a few here that give me chuckles.)

Hey I thought the meme was slightly entertaining. That was kind of sarcasm on top of sarcasm. 

 

If I tried to stop being rational I'd probably fail and I don't like failing.

Not surprising. Trump supporters were encouraged to be violent by their leader.

I don't see any particular innocence on the Right, or Trump supporters (what are you supporting anyway, the man is a flip flopping mess with no clear ideas and an agenda all over the map) in regards to labelling and attacking anyone or anything critical of the alt-Right, Republicans, or whatever in Gods name Donald Trump is. Kind of silly to pretend otherwise.

 

As to the OP it appears both sides were spoiling for a physical fight, and that is pretty stupid.

I think you nailed it this is about two groups of knuckle heads clashing over nothing.  The press labeled it a clash of Pro and Anti Trump supporters.  I have no intention of taking either of these groups seriously.

It's Berkeley. Everything ends up in altercation. Anyone who's been to college knows how it works.

Ya I said this earlier...the article didn't even need to name the University. We could have all guessed.

Still looking for any articles that mention what "group" the people arrested belonged to. I'm sure there were some from both sides. One article mentioned the "Pro-Trump" group had a "citizen militia"....seems a little full of themselves.

Yeah the "Citizen Militia" are known as the 3 Percenters. They are a Patriotic, Nationalistic Citizen Militia that wants the USA to uphold the laws on the books.

They are not patriots nor are they patriotic. They are just a bunch of bullies, who are not used to having people push back.

you beat me to the punch, notable here is the Whole Milk in the foreground.  Is it considered overly leftist to use 2 %?   The young man looks thin now but in years to come....
