    Someone needs to organize a protest in my city...

    I need some new softball cleats, and a new sound bar. I'd take some free alcohol while I'm shopping.

    So we have a riot, property damage, assault on a woman, and no one is held accountable? The protest organizers are responsible, I'd say, and they should be held accountable, otherwise what's stopping them from doing it again? The organizers should be arrested and charged with every count imaginable and then make restitution to those who suffered damage. Also, the woman who was pepper sprayed should be able to sue them. And every person who engaged in the protest should be expelled from Berkeley just as they would have been had they made a racial slur.

    Berkeley is a disgrace. Don't blame the police. We've seen this before. The fact that the police made no arrests had to have been on direct orders from City Hall.

    I would never let this happen in my city.

    My two cents ... :oldman:

    Did the republicans who had to pay higher fees than normal for security get their money back?

    Nice try but no evidence supports the idea that they were paid instigators and some evidence does refute the claim.

    A rumor has spread that the mayor of Berkeley ordered the police to stand aside and allow the rioters free reign at least for a while.

    Now I admit fully that there is no proof of this rumor. However when anyone watches ANY of the news footage it is clear that for most of the rioting the police were no where to be seen they simply stayed away. They only showed up towards the end after the event was cancelled and the rioting was still escalating.

    Doesn't prove the rumor but it is very suspicious and very solid grounds for investigation. Far more suspicious than the empty implication you made.

    While I was watching videos of the tolerant vandals, I was thinking a couple of snipers who put 300 Win Mag rounds through the heads of the first snowflakes to take a steel pipe to a window might temper the enthusiasm for burning and looting the leftists so love to engage in while calling for tolerance and love.

    It's funny watching those idiots.
    First they kill their babies.
    Then they burn down their own homes.
    Then they wonder why people think they're losers.

    It's a failed philosophy where self destruction is seen as a badge of honor.


    That's what they have in common with the Muslims.

    Would making arrests expose a rent-a-mob? Then you could charge the person who hired the mob and make him pay for the damage.

    As I said, the anti-tea party.

    There are claims that these were actually right-wingers causing the violence.

    CNN as usual is confused by their own facts. In the linked story it first says that the attackers were taken into custody by Berkeley police. Then they close by saying no arrests were made. ?? Also, they place blame on a local group called the "Black Bloc". All other sources I have seen were blaming a national group of anarchists-anti fascists known as "Antifa".

    The only claims I have seen that right-wingers caused the violence were made by left wingers on this forum.

    FBI is said to be investigating the Mayor for inciting the riot and ordering the police to stand down.

    Berkeley is a free speech institution,
    but such an expression is too drastic and not suited with those who have a faint of heart.
    Perhaps as per nature they see it as showing of detest towards Milo,
    but in my opinion it's way too intense.

    President Bannon is most displeased anyone might suggest he could in any way be responsible for this. Heads will roll. There may even be an orange buffoon placed before you to distract you with baubles and trinkets.

    My research says that the Black bloc is a technique used by anarchists, like Antifa.
