Go Figure: LA Times Praises Violent Berkeley Extremist

Last week, the Los Angeles Times published a feature piece on UC-Berkeley student Ismael Chamu, that highlighted the struggles he and his family face on a daily basis. The only problem? The article never mentioned that Chamu is a radical, violent, left-wing extremist – with ties to Antifa.

Chamu was charged with felony vandalism in 2017, after allegedly spray-painting graffiti around his campus. These graffiti messages included, “F--- White People,” “F--- the police,” “Kill Cops,” “Eat the Rich,” and more.

According to Berkeleyside, dozens of tires were slashed as well, and when police approached Chamu he was hiding a knife. After being arrested, Chamu claimed on Facebook that his arrest was due to racial profiling, despite police claiming that the spray paint used matched the paint found on his hands.

Chamu has also written blog posts (that have now since been deleted), where he made his radical views clear. “Private property must be destroyed,” he wrote. “Google offices must be burned and Google buses need to be slashed.”

Just recently, Chamu was evicted from the trailer he had been living in. His landlord claimed that he had allowed Chamu and his family to live in the trailer as a temporary favor, but said it had been over three months and the family never paid him. Chamu denies the claims that he never paid his rent.

“Trying to do something good, to help someone became a nightmare for us,” the landlord told ABC 7 News.

Why would they mention the criminal side of the assclown. Need to elevate his stature before the detail his "struggle" with 'THE MAN'. As far as google, maybe he's on to something there. ;-)

It’s the proverbial reap what you sow. The whirlwind.

That is why the paper praised him.

Instead, Chamu, a student associated with the extremist group Antifa, is being praised and benefiting from the kind hearts of over 1,200 people, who as of Friday night, have donated a total of $87,000 to a fundraiser created after the publication of the LA Times article.

I wonder how quickly he will snort that up his nose?

Besides, how serious can I take a guy who has the same name as a whale?

Actually, it was the name of a donkey..... well, sort of.

Nonetheless, nothing to be taken seriously.

“Ismael Chamu”......

Just the name should have raised cause for concern.

Those whom the gods wish to destroy, they first make insane.

As we see with regard to the newspapers.

Uh, it’s the LA Times.
Think of the NYT and WaPo with even lower standards and group intelligence (if that is even possible).
So, who gives a shi...er...Obama?

I skimmed the original LAT story. What steaming pantload of liberal balderdash and squish. Written in the maudlin NPR style. On the bright side, over half of the comments at LAT are against the creep.

Wonder how cute and funny it would be if a group of angry poor whites were to show up in the front yard of the editor of this news rag and trash his front yard, throw a few fire bombs and generally just raise a ruckus?

It’s the old double standard, one of the defining features of America today — the liberals dictate disastrous social policies which they themselves are insulated from.
