EXCLUSIVE — MMA Fighter Jake Shields on How He Saved a Man in Berkeley From Antifa Rioters
Breitbart ^ | 2 Feb 2017 | Charlie Nash

Posted on 02/02/2017 11:17:42 PM PST by Lonely Bull

Professional MMA fighter and UFC Veteran, Jake Shields, was forced to rescue a civilian who was being severely beaten by “anti-fascist” rioters in Berkeley, California, on Wednesday, after police officers allegedly refused to intervene.

Realizing that law enforcement officers were not going to help the man who was being cornered and violently attacked, Shields took the moment into his own hands, and fought off the mob of rioters while he helped the injured and bloodied man to safety.

“The show got cancelled so I was kind of checking things out,” said Shields in an interview with Breitbart Tech. “Obviously it was a rough crowd, so I didn’t want to walk in the middle of it, and all of a sudden I see this guy running out completely covered in blood and these guys were chasing him with sticks, trying to circle him.”

“The show got cancelled so I was kind of checking things out,” said Shields in an interview with Breitbart Tech. “Obviously it was a rough crowd, so I didn’t want to walk in the middle of it, and all of a sudden I see this guy running out completely covered in blood and these guys were chasing him with sticks, trying to circle him.”

“Mobs of people. Nobody helped, but people were yelling ‘get up, get up.’ Like fifteen people were trying to attack him and others were cheering them on,” he continued. “No one helped, no one had the balls to step in, so my reaction was to run in and start picking people off.”

The mayor of Berkeley needs to be jailed. His replacement should be Jake Shields.

I swear i need a bigger holster for my chainsaw. Thats pretty scary being caught up in something like that, you need something that is overkill just to escape.

But then again why even be near these monsters.

This is no different than any of the other riots we have seen all over the country that are supported and incited by Democrat Mayors, Police Chiefs and Goveners as well as President Obama

if the Mayor incited riots he should be arrested by the FBI and prosecuted.

If Berkley police stood by and watched citizens getting beaten up by protesters, they should be fired and prosecuted if possible.

This rent a riot crap needs to stop

I have a way to bring it to a halt, and have kept posting that I have the idea. No one really tries to talk with me about it. Will have to meet in person. Strange.

COWARDS. I think our that’s what they are. I don’t give a damn if they were told to stand down as a man and human being that’s what you’re going to do? Allow thst to happen when you’ve got a gun and a way to stop that attack. They just sit there and look? Nah..something’s got to be done in that town and to that school, this is ridiculous.

There are plenty of planes flying to Russia tomorrow.

George Soros should be on one of them.

The Russians have been waiting a long time to have some fun.

Anti-fascists? They’re the new fascists, only with a pretentious name.

They may be scary in packs. But, each one of them alone is a whiney little wimp.

Did you hear them talking to Jake? Pathetic.

I think trump should announce that any city that fails to prevent rioting will have the leadership of the town investigated to see if they in anyway was involved in political support for the rioting. with the possibility of sedition and dereliction of duty charges.

Time to worry as much about domestic terrorists as we do foreign ones. Violence, calls for anarchy and assassination has arrived. Now we must deal with it. No longer time to turn other cheek. Those who call for violence (including Congressmen and women) and those who pay for it are enemies of the state. Actions have consequences. Time to make good on the “safe streets promise” as well!! The world is watching.
