Berkeley Riot Explodes: Trump Supporters Beaten to Ground as Rally Turns Into Bloody Nightmare
Independent Journal Review ^ | March 5, 2017 | Kyle Becker

Posted on 03/06/2017 5:59:57 AM PST by Tolerance Sucks Rocks

A pro-Trump rally at the University of California, Berkeley turned into a violent, bloody riot Saturday evening.

The civil disturbance led to several attendees in pro-Trump clothing and American flag regalia being assaulted.

Police in riot gear, and even a man in a gas-mask looking helmet and makeshift shield with an American flag intervened after currently unidentified men were assaulted and beaten on the ground.

Some Trump supporters were pepper-sprayed by opposition, according to Buzzfeed News.

Berkely is the soul of leftism. They do what the others only talk about. The plan is to destabilize the civil order, opening the way for the “oppressed” to rise up against their “oppressors.”

Why is that beat down any surprise? Trump supporters trying to demonstrate in “enemy territory” and get pounded by radical lefts, particularly those at Berkeley? The lefties have lost any since of civility, cross into their boundries, you lose all citizen rights.

The best way would be to have duece and a halfs with canvass tarpaulins drive up, drop the rear canvass and have M60s ready to go. That should quell the lefties. When they seek shelter in nearby buildings, have 155s from a near by fire-base take out the buildings.

It’s just a matter of time until guns are drawn, and then it begins.

We don’t have these kind of problems in AZ. It’s very likely that the majority of Trump supporters at our rallies are armed and private militia with assault rifles guard the perimeters of the rallies.

Bring it on Leftists...please.

Where are the Bikers for Trump when we need them?

Seems like coverage at every known rally would be in order.

If you can’t depend on the police, who the hell can you depend on?

You depend on yourself.

It's why the Founders gave us the 2nd Amendment. We live in a police state under an out-of-control, lawless Federal Government.

Proceed accordingly.

It is long past time to cause liberals pain.

Real pain.

In triplicate.

Alinski’s tactics work both ways.

Do it, dammit.

Even to those with sticks.
= = =

Those sticks had little US flags on them.

That makes them patriotic flag staffs, and appropriate for parades.

California needs to be held accountable for this. This, and the assaults on Trump rallies are unacceptable. Disagreeing with someone’s opinions is no grounds for assault.

Wasn’t it Trump who said: “If they bring a knife to the fight, we bring a gun”?

No wait...

I don’t disagree especially if you are a woman, have children with you or are of a certain age. Sadly though this is exactly what the Left wants. They want to own the streets. They obviously have the press totally on their side and seem to have the tacit approval of the local police in many cities.

I always hate the Hitler references, but watch some historical video on the Brown Shirts in pre WWII Germany. It is eerily similar. They attacked peaceful protesters, they busted heads and then blamed it on the rhetoric coming from the other side. Sound familiar?

Need “Sons of Liberty” to defend the rights of Americans to peacefully protest. Need to not back down—thats what they want—to instill fear in the people so they will think twice about marching in support of what they believe. We must March BUT be ready to defend theirselves and their rights—The Police—Politicized to Favor Obama Shadow Leftist Government. Now is the time to act—TRUMP SHOULD SPEAK ON THIS! FBI Look into this outrage—but the FBI is a Clinton satrap and will do zip.

They would not DARE try that nonsense outside the coastal areas...and I do NOT think it is a coincidence that a Soros spawn is a student at Berserkeley, where most of these violent incidents have happened since Trump’s inauguration!!!
