Violence by far-left protesters in Berkeley sparks alarm

 

 

Thousands of demonstrators carrying signs with slogans like “Stand Against Hate” descended on Berkeley’s Martin Luther King Jr. Civic Park on Sunday for what many hoped would be a peaceful march against bigotry and President Trump.

 

But it was soon punctuated by tear gas and a scattering of violent skirmishes. Some anti-fascist protesters, wearing black and with their faces covered, chased or beat Trump supporters and organizers who had scheduled and then canceled the “anti-Marxist” rally, citing concerns over safety.

The counter-demonstrators were in the city to protest the “Say No to Marxism in America” rally, police said. Several who were expected to speak at the event have been linked to white nationalist sentiments or violence in the past.

like i said, when white nationalists show up to try and further their cause, antifa will inevitably show up as well. this is berkley, after all.

and if the rally was cancelled, why were the organizers still there - just taking a stroll?

You tried to imply antifa wasn't attacking an anti Marxist group and I showed you why you were wrong. All you have is a red herring. As far as I have seen antifa was the only group that was violent this weekend so any other rhetoric you try to throw at me is irrelevant.

Actually Marx and his supporters were a left wing group but don't let historical facts get in the way.

Just remember all that "non violence" by Antifa twice at Berkeley against Milo.. the quintessential homosexual white supremacist who dates black guys. 

 

Any notion that this is about white supremacy or Nazis or any of that is flat out lol worthy. This is purely about silencing visible dissent and forcing political whims through violence..  aka terrorism. 

 

While insane lefties supporting them doesn't surprise me... I'm glad to see more mainstream media finally acknowledge them for what they are.

Get in the way of alternate-facts. Don't stand in the alternate side of history, where things that could have happened never did. Just because they never happened, it doesn't mean they couldn't have, which really should make us question whether they really never did happen. Hmmm...

Kicking fascists and Nazis for over 70 years and counting. Sorry, can't disavow heroes, even if you call our GIs fascists.

 

 

 

It's not WW2 and if you honestly believe it could happen again then you are kidding yourself believing that these antifa groups will be your saviour or hero. These will become conscientious objectors and find a way to protest against the war, wannabe activists just moving along with whatever happens to be cool on any given day.

 

Your only insulting the memory of those who died in WW2 by implying antifa is the same.

Just because someone has a family member who served in WW2 doesn't give them a monopoly on it. 

 

All WW2 survivors support antifa?

They imagine Antifa are fighting Nazis like this is WW2. 

 

- Argues Antifa are fighting the long-gone Nazis

- Tries psychoanalyzing Trump

 

 

If I didn't find all this funny I'd probably be concerned for their state of health.
