“A group with bricks was detained, and their bricks confiscated.’”

They should have been shoved up their a**** sideways.

“OK, your editing of the excerpt makes it seem the MMA fighter part of this story happened yesterday, but is actually is a month old.”

Ooops, sorry. I thought the story had segued back into yesterday’s riot.

I wish Breitbart had stuck to the Berkeley story thoughout.

We are already in a low intensity civil war. As they always do, the Left has gone too far, and there will be blowback. Buy ammo.

You lay a hand on the anarchists and see how the cops will intervene and come down like a ton of bricks, on you. The police are there , not to keep order, not to enforce the law, but solely to protect the anarchists. I don’t like it but that is the way it is.

From this point in time forward, anyone, regardless of their age or physical condition, who attends a Trump Rally, need to be prepared to defend themselves mentally and physically. If they are not willing or prepared to defend themselves, they should call an ambulance and have it standing by. That way they can get a quicker start to the hospital.

You got that one right, My FRiend. Did you also notice that just as the German Police protected the NAZIs that were beating up on the Jews, The Berkley Police protected the Street fighter trained anarchists as they were wreaking havoc on the Trump supporters? If the tide of battle had changed and the Trump supporters were gaining the upper hand, they[the police] would have descended upon the Trump supporters like a ton of bricks with the full force of the law. And if the old man that was peppered sprayed had died, one or more Trump supporter would have been arrested for manslaughter, at least.

I’ve tried, as a former Leftie to warn conservatives about the ready violence of the Left. Do you think, after doing something like this they wouldn’t resort to more extreme forms of violence, like outright murder? Time to start killing. We’re at war. You either take the fight straight to the enemy or you are constantly reacting to him.

Oh Lord. I really believe this is demon possession and for me that is rare but I try and call 'em as I sees 'em.

What comparison can I draw? Brown shirts rounding people up and killing? It's time to defend our own. This indeed is a war.

No, fellow Freepers, these people are not “Nazis”, they are communists. These people are the reason that reactionary movements get started.

Berkley cops have chosen sides. They chose poorly.

This was all 100% predictable and 100% avoidable.

That an MMA fighter intervened gives me an idea. Way back when I knew of some “street fighting” type karate dojos that would actually take their more experienced members on “field trips” to places where there was a likelihood of brawls, for them to get experience. Some weapons permitted as insurance.

But I can imagine inviting several Krav Maga (Israeli martial arts) dojo adult fighters if the rioters/anarchists are Muslim or antisemitic, and maybe some more MMA fighters or other conservative martial artists.

It is also important to have a hasty evacuation planned if the situation goes south, such as the police intervening to protect the rioters by joining with them to attack their victims.

I believe it was Obama himself that said “They bring a knife to the fight, we will bring a gun” Imagine that ! Obama of all people. Didnt he get the Noble Peace Prize ?

Oh, and take a bottle of milk to rallies just in case you get pepper sprayed. Rinse eyes , face with it. Just make sure its not chocolate milk.

Note the Trump supporters were dressed in regular clothes WITHOUT masks or having their faces covered. The others don’t want their identity known to news cameras. What a way to further your message. Not even MAN enough to be seen showing your support, whatever it is...

Cops love Trump! They just take orders from their mayor and ignore the oath they took to defend the constitution

Those two statements are at odds with each other.

A cop is either loyal to the people, the Constitution, and the President, or they're loyal to the subversive politicians who run these commie cities.

They're one or the other - not both.

You have an excellent point. These are fascist tactics used by the commies and the Nazis who beat their opposition into submission. We might have won the election but the war continues.

“Like fifteen people were trying to attack him and others were cheering them on,” explained Shields, who managed to successfully rescue the man, in an interview with Breitbart News. “No one helped, no one had the balls to step in, so my reaction was to run in and start picking people off.”

Was this cut and pasted from the account of the last Berkely riot, when a MMA contestant also intervened, or did the exact same thing happen both times?
