BERKELEY, Calif. (AP) — Hundreds of people marched through Berkeley for a third night a row, blocking a major highway and stopping a train as activists in this ultra-liberal bastion protested grand jury decisions not to indict white police officers in the deaths of two unarmed black men on the other side of the country.

Protesters blocked traffic on both sides of Interstate 80 in Berkeley, while another group stood and sat on train tracks, temporarily forcing an Amtrak train to stop Monday night.

The passengers simply assumed it was one of the usual Amtrak delays and thus didn't notice the protest.

It is way past time for the cops to bring out the billy clubs and START arresting those commie a**holes. In a sense I can understand why those anarchists/commies keep blocking roads and freeways, they get free publicity and the cops stand around watching. Zero consequences for bad behavior leads to more bad behavior.

the same way all kids...escalate...

the line in the sand keeps getting drawn... ever closer to the flash point...and ..kaboom....UTTER CHAOS!

it’s clear their intent was to break the law...they did so...and now the law has effectively been made a eunich

You were probably aware that George Soros is the driving force behind the OCCUPY...”movement”!

Oddly he has yet to make any comment n any of these “protests”

Couldn’t help myself. Just as long as the remains are shed by the time the train gets to Reno, I’m okay with it.

Were some Berkeley professors hippies in the 60s? These protests have a time-warp feel to them.

This is how it started in Egypt, Libya, Syria, and Kiev. The US insisted that the govs let people have their peaceful protests. Then they turned ugly and it turned out they were manipulated by people who had a whole different agenda for their countries. Now, they're bringing chaos here.

It's way past time to remind blacks who are involved in this that (1) they're only a percentage of the 15% of the US population which is black and (2) Liberia and Sierra Leone are having serious depopulation problems. Perhaps they should emigrate to one of them. The warped white college students and liberals could join them.

Can it happen here? Sure. Look at Ukraine. It is not a revolution the whole country supported, and still doesn't. The US inspired "people's protests" took over Kiev, then declared the whole country was theirs to submit to US and EU agendas.

No they don't have a clue. Just trying to be relevant and doing what
they're told for a grade. I prefer them living in the tree and shitting
in a bucket.

Need a sticker that says, "This vehicle doesn't stop for Riots".

Do you blame them?
