5 assaulted at Berkeley protests as black-clad anarchists storm rightwing rally

Its not surprising Berkeley backed the Antifa fascists. This is the same city that went to war with the Marine Corps (by proxy) In January 2008, Berkeley, California’s, city council passed by a vote of 8 to 1 a measure calling for that city to tell the United States Marine Corps that its downtown recruiting station was not welcome and that “if recruiters choose to stay, they do so as uninvited and unwelcome guests.” Further, the council voted to give a permit for six months’ exclusive use of a parking spot in front of that recruiting station to Code Pink, and was additionally given a sound permit to better facilitate its weekly protest. The council also called upon its citizenry to non-violently “impede, passively or actively” the work of the recruiters.

Then we had last Feb when violent mobs were allowed to roam free destroying property and shutting down a gay conservatives speaking engagement. The Police stood down and let it happen back then too. if your a conservative in Berkeley you are not wanted and will not receive any support from the city or the police. I say level the city from orbit with a rail gun then repave. Iv had enough with the fascist left.

Sounds familiar, all that is missing is the name of their leader.

The Freikorps (Free Corps), armed freebooter groups, made up largely of ex-soldiers, that battled leftists in the streets in the early days of the Weimar Republic. Outfitted in brown uniforms after the fashion of Benito Mussolini’s Fascist Blackshirts in Italy, the SA men protected party meetings, marched in Nazi rallies, and physically assaulted political opponents. Temporarily in disarray after the failure of Hitler’s Munich Putsch in 1923, the SA was reorganized in 1925 and soon resumed its violent ways, intimidating voters in national and local elections. From January 1931 it was headed by Ernst Röhm, who harboured radical anticapitalist notions and dreamed of building the SA into Germany’s main military force. Under Röhm SA membership, swelled from the ranks of the Great Depression’s unemployed, grew to 400,000 by 1932 and to perhaps 2,000,000—20 times the size of the regular army—by the time that Hitler came to power in 1933.

Extreme left i.e. antifa are basically anarchists. They are not "hobbyist" protesters. These are not Mom and Pops waving signs, but come geared up for battle. Europe has seen it for years and now it's our turn. They are using the extreme right groups as an alibi to do violence. We don't need hate groups from either side, but we don't need violence either. I think they are mostly about disrupting government, capitalism and the establishment, but are mostly about disrupting the system in general. Look at the Weather Underground, SDS and others in the 60's and we can see a pattern. It was the Viet Nam war then, but now they are using anything they disagree with for an excuse to slash and burn.
