Arrests, Assaults as Antifa Unleashes Violence on Right-Wing Protesters in Berkeley
Ten people were arrested for “various violations” Sunday during what was meant to be a peaceful protest and counter-protest in Berkeley, California.
According to the Los Angeles Times, “Members of Antifa were seen involved in a number of violent scuffles.”
Three of the people detained violated the no-mask rule, according to KCRA. A woman who allegedly assaulted a photographer was also arrested, along with two men who exchanged blows.
Thousands of people, from the far-right and far-left of the political spectrum, were reportedly present for the “Rally Against Hate,” where individuals who are opposed to President Donald Trump outnumbered those present in support of the commander-in-chief.
The rally through the Martin Luther King, Jr., Civic Center Park began peacefully, based on social media accounts of the event:
The Washington Post reported that a protester, Karla Fonseca, denounced the Latino man holding a “God Bless Donald Trump” sign in the tweet above telling him, “You are an immigrant. You should be ashamed of yourself.”
President Trump has indicated he is pro-legal immigration.
However, according to video posted to Twitter and media reports, the peace quickly dissipated into violence as Antifa allegedly attacked a reporter and a photographer:
According to the Washington Post, “Anti-rally protesters chanted slogans ‘No Trump. No KKK. No fascist USA’ and carried signs that said: ‘Berkeley Stands United Against Hate.'”
Dozens of anti-fascist protesters reportedly pounced on Joey Gibson, founder of the right-wing group Patriot Prayer, and his crew when they showed up at the rally. Patriot Prayer made the choice to cancel their planned “Freedom Rally” in San Francisco’s Crissy Field Beach Saturday due to safety concerns.
“We’ve decided that tomorrow really seems like a setup,” Gibson announced during a Facebook Live video. “It doesn’t seem safe. A lot of people’s lives are going to be in danger tomorrow.” He added, “The rhetoric from Nancy Pelosi, Mayor Lee, the media – all of these people are saying that we’re white supremacists, and it’s bringing in tons of extremists.”
Meanwhile, San Francisco city leaders congratulated themselves over shutting down free speech in the area known as the birthplace of the free speech movement Saturday after Patriot Prayer’s announcement.
Breitbart News reported, “Mayor Ed Lee praised counter-demonstrators who had marched across the city, as well as those who marched near the designated site for the protest. ‘They made sure the themes of love and compassion dominated over hate speech,’ he said at City Hall, according to SFGate.com.”
The Los Angeles Times reported that “Antifa protesters beat one man with a shield and another person wearing an American flag.”

So we have an organization that uses not only the name but the tactics from the first German movement to call it's self "anti-fascist action" which proclaimed by the German COMMUNIST PARTY from the 30's
One of the biggest anti-facscist campaigns in German in the last few years of the Nazi-rallies in the east erman city of Dresden in Saxony, which had grown into "Europe's biggest gathering of Nazis"
Now, could what we be seeing really be what they claim to be against? The ANTIFA chickenshits actually be trying to bring back the Nazi regime. When we look at their tactics and actions, it I'll make a guess that YES THEY ARE.
Police really need to be more aggressive locking up the violent antifa thugs.
Hard to do when the political bosses hold the reins and don't let you enforce the law.
It's not hard to figure out which party. ANTIFA, like the KKK, started from the same party that threw a hissy fit when they couldn't get what they want. Ironically, like the KKK these ANTIFA cowards are afraid to show their faces.
perhaps we should deport all of both groups to an uninhabited island and let them all battle to the death.
Meanwhile us sane moderately minded americans could oust the megalomaniac in the white house and get back to reality.
You should probably work on that. Find a candidate who can beat him. Obviously the left has failed miserably at that in 2016.
If you cannot let someone speak their opinion in public and turn to violent means to stop them, you are a coward and a criminal. The world is not so neatly divided up into everything we like and all the rest of it must be hidden. These ANTIFA Masked Cowards are trying to do just that-only allow you to hear what they deem 'correct'. It's sad that so many are willing to defend these tactics, especially in institutes of higher learning.
As always, the bad-actors are a tiny fraction of the whole. In this case, maybe it was 100 out of the several thousand peaceful anti-nazi protestors in Berkeley. Of course, if we're going to smear the entire group by the actions of a few, then we'll have to do it on both sides of this issue, right?
Shortly after, violence began to flare. A pepper-spray-wielding Trump supporter was smacked to the ground with homemade shields.
I'd sure want to smack someone who was pepper-spraying me. What about you, rightwingers?
What were the circumstances of his use? Self defense from the antifa thugs? If so then spray away!
MAGA!
Stay on topic which is Antifa violence against Trump supporters and against free speech as well as local government officials using Antifa to silence conservative speech.
Hmmm! Same exact RED BOX RULE as the other article. Actually the words above are from the other article. Below are the RED BOX RULES from this article:
Stay on topic which is Antifa violence against Trump supporters and against free speech as well as local government officials using Antifa to silence conservative speech.
Looks exactly the same to me.
Question: IS THIS HOW RED BOX RULES are supposed to work? To FORCE people into agreeable ECHO CHAMBER-like comments and restrict or even prohibit honest debate and discussion?
I'm still kind of new here so that's why I have to ask this question. Maybe I should ask a moderator or the R.A.?
That is why I don't use them. If I post an article I want to hear all opinions. Even those of of our partisan hack members. Why frequent a discussion site if you only want to hear like opinions? If an echo chamber is what you one seeks they are better off on the Reddit or KOS message boards IMO.
Altough I can understand the need for them in some circumstances I have never used Red Box Rules because almost always I welcome when members stray, so long as their straying does not get into a nasty fight (very rare), insulting comments or political preaching. In fact I've been known to use Green Box Rules, which is to invite straying off topic. For example I did that for one of my photo articles and a number of members commented about how much they enjoyed the intercourse (NOT meaning copulation LOL) on that article. However, pleasant intercommunication is rarely found in political discussions.
And, the best goes on. Texas is drowning and these people care nothing about anything, but their next rumble. Disgraceful! Even reporting it is disgraceful!
They are stuck on stupid. The only thing they are worried about is whatever item their meltdown leads them to next.
I'm wondering if Pyongyang would be a good fit for what they are looking for. They have 100% control of the people, media and information just like they are trying to impose on everybody.
We definitely need more agressive policing, especially for mask-wearing liberal thugs.

Such a shame how a minuscule number of Antifa fools are helping the right hide from the poison that Trump has vomited into the National dialog.
Racist arrested for firing gun into crowd at Charlottesville rally
You must have missed the memo that rules of conduct don't apply to rightwing thugs.
This is not about Berkley, but is about Antifa and the dishonest media.
The first video is the innocent Deandre Harris who was beaten by the White Supremacist at the entrance of a parking deck the media has been so interested in since the riots in Charlottesville. He has since received over $160,000 from a GoFundMe account. Actually he received over $100,000 during the first 24 hrs after the incident was made public.
Notice there is a man on the ground with what looks like a white hat or helmet on his head. No one can really say exactly what happened, but the man with the white helmet was knocked out with one blow to his face. He is not one of the Antifas. I think the reaction was from what you see in the second video that is why it was directed at the poor little innocent Deandre Harris after he hit a man outside the parking deck reaching way over a person in front of him to hit the man with what looks like a black billy stick. You can see the black on the man's white hat after being hit.
I don't support either one of these groups, but I do support honest reporting and we're no longer getting it from our media and I think that is what burns me up. Trump was right, there was violence from both sides. Sorry, Jews, but I don't think I have to take the side of the opposing hate group just because the White Supremacist are a piece of shit and everyone knows it. In these videos, both sides committed violence and it was started by Antifa.
This would be likened in a much worst scenario of an umpire only calling strikes on the team he disliked during a ballgame. These White Supremacists as bad as they are and how much I detest them were being taunted by the Anarchist Group Antifa and the other thugs.
Deandre Harris didn't go there to peacefully protest. He went there for a fight. I'm sure some of the people did go there to just vocally protest on both sides. Until the media starts being honest in their reporting, I will not believe a word they say without investigating it myself.
The image the general American public is left with is an innocent bystander named Deandre Harris was attacked by the White Supremacist while he was just walking down the road, stepped into a parking deck. That's not the whole story.
And here is a longer video that gives you an idea how the one man ended up facing nearly a dozen Antifa types including Deandre Harris.
On this last video which is longer, Deandre first appears at 3:48. You can start there, because just the taunting is before that time.
These White Supremacists as bad as they are and how much I detest them were being taunted by the Anarchist Group Antifa and the other thugs.
That empty, stock and rote denial of the nazis has long since become a joke. Give it a rest. It aint flyin'.
I Was Beaten By White Supremacists
Too bad WE can't make a withdrawl to pay the medics that bandaged this dumbasses head and pay for any damage he may have caused.
XX Jefferson, why didn't you respond to my seed about the true meaning of the book of revelations?
The truth bother you that much?
