They are obviously organized with colors that match, etc. It's like a pep squad but instead of pep their pounding.
And why are they even allowed to wear masks when the only purpose is to conceal their identities while they commit crimes? Anyone who shows up to a rally with a mask on should be hauled away immediately.

Let me understand what these tolerant liberals are about. They run around with their heads covered while committing violent crimes but make the most indignant, self-righteous whiny diatribes about the KKK (who no longer even exist) because decades ago they wore hoods over their heads while committing violent crimes...
Hmmm, no lack of coherent ideology there.
Liberals are nothing if not narcissistic hypocrites who have failed in their miserable lives and seek only to drag others down to share in the cesspool which is their world.

Sure would beat professional wrestling !
And even more fun than watching Collin Whiner-nick.

Berkeley has Trump supporters? I thought the whole bay area was hardcore liberal

The Berkeley cops never protect squat. There have been so many street demonstrations there for so long- 50 years and counting- the cops learned to get out of the way and let 'em have at each other decades ago.

But I don't expect much will happen. For sure, nothing like the ones back in the 60s; they got really rough a few times, especially the one that ended up with the Naval ROTC building being burnt to the ground.

Berkeley is always Berkeley and always will be. Whenever a ruckus starts, its always some students that start it and then its always the street rats who run with it until things get crazy. The street people use them to grab and snatch, break into businesses and loot, and then make their getaways once the tear gas starts.

There will be thousands of them, coming from all over N. California, waiting and hoping for the chance to take something they can sell or pawn back with them once the ruckus starts. They'll probably get one going if the students don't.

There are a couple more campuses in other states that are notorious for this too, but the San Francisco area has always been thick with street bums. The news always spreads real fast among them, and I'll bet some of the old ones have been through a dozen or more demonstrations turned riots. Easy payday for the winos and junkies.

I think this video answers the question in the title. Definitely not!

The fact that the police did nothing should lead to all of them getting fired. The antifa terrorists should've been taken down the minute the first bomb went off, and the intentional disarming of the people fighting for free speech was totally reprehensible. The events of today make a casus belli for anyone on the right to be justified to attack anyone on the left, and if the left complains, they should just be laughed at.

Frankly, who cares? Anyone who demonstrates knows the risks of civil disobedience. It's what makes a protest a protest. If you all just want to stand there and wave your signs without causing any consternation, the question is why?
The civil rights folks didn't expect that. The KKK doesn't expect that. The Peace Csmp people protesting nuckear weapons didn't expect that. The only people who demand to be obnoxious in public and expect zero response are the Westboro Baptist Church and the BLM people. Both of whom can kiss my ass.

I saw videos of the rioting. Of course we all knew this would happen. Liberals in Berkley have a history of violent riots. No doubt they would attack the pro-Trump supporters.

These videos really get me pumped up. Makes me want to do more physical-training, so I can be ready for when the Civil-War spreads to Oklahoma City.

Antifa gonna get BTFO. Though I'm not exactly a nationalist either. But Antifa are the lowest form of life.

The police were told to stand down by the mayor - just like last time. We've been following this on Twitter and the cops are speaking out as they have a job to do and aren't allowed to do it.

The girl who got slugged - walked up to a Trump supporter and slugged him. She happens to be a feminist lesbian that attends Berkley - financing her way through by doing porn - so much for her feminist beliefs. They're all wackos. Once they get into he real world - with a job - pay taxes, pay rent, food, utilities and don't have loans, grants, or mommy & daddy helping them - their tune will change.
