Well, I think I speak for us all when I say THANK GOD it's not the political left down there in Berkeley kicking the shit out of innocents who have gathered to exercise their freedom of expression. What a relief!Masked anarchists violently rout right-wing demonstrators in Berkeley
An army of anarchists (Because anarchists are famous for collectively gathering in organized armies) in black clothing and masks routed a small group of right-wing demonstrators who had gathered in a Berkeley park Sunday to rail against the city’s famed progressive politics, driving them out — sometimes violently — while overwhelming a huge contingent of police officers. (Once again, the poor officers had no choice)
Hundreds of officers tried to maintain calm in and around Martin Luther King Jr. Civic Center Park before the 1 p.m. “No to Marxism in Berkeley” rally, putting up barricades, searching bags and confiscating sticks, masks, pepper spray and even water bottles. The goal was to head off the type of clashes that sprang from similar rallies in the city earlier this year.
But once again, counterdemonstrators frustrated efforts by police, who numbered about 400. As the crowd swelled to several times that size, officers stepped aside and allowed hundreds of people angered by the presence of the right-wing rally to climb over the barriers into the park (of course they did), said Officer Jennifer Coats, a spokeswoman for Berkeley police.
The masked counterprotesters, often referred to as antifa or antifascists, significantly outnumbered the people who had come for the rally, many of whom wore red clothing indicating support for President Trump. The anarchists chased away the right-wingers, and in one case four or five pummeled a man with fists and sticks before a radio host for Reveal, Al Letson, jumped in to shield the victim. Anarchists also attacked reporters who documented their actions. (Because anarchists are famous for hating freedom of speech and freedom of the press - freedom in general, really. Right?)

It is, once again, "anarchists" and mysterious thugs that only appear every time the left protests something. A shame really. One almost wonders why mysterious anarchist thugs *only* show up to attack people and destroy stuff when progressives gather. I mean, kinda coincidental that random, masked, "anarchists", consistently show up to perpetrate violence on behalf of the causes of the left . . . but obviously, there's no connection. I mean, because if there were a connection I'm sure at least one of these POS newspapers would simply refer to it as leftist violence, or alt-left violence, or crazed progressive violence, or something.
Nope, these men are nihilists, Donnie.
