Black clad antifa members attack peaceful rightwing demonstrators in Berkeley

"Their faces hidden behind black bandannas and hoodies, about 100 anarchists and antifa— “anti-fascist” — members barreled into a protest Sunday afternoon in Berkeley’s Martin Luther King Jr. Civic Center Park.

Jumping over plastic and concrete barriers, the group melted into a larger crowd of around 2,000 that had marched peacefully throughout the sunny afternoon for a “Rally Against Hate” gathering.

Shortly after, violence began to flare. A pepper-spray-wielding Trump supporter was smacked to the ground with homemade shields. Another was attacked by five black-clad antifa members, each windmilling kicks and punches into a man desperately trying to protect himself. A conservative group leader retreated for safety behind a line of riot police as marchers chucked water bottles, shot off pepper spray and screamed, “Fascist go home!”

All told, the Associated Press reported at least five individuals were attacked. An AP reporter witnessed the assaults. Berkeley Police’s Lt. Joe Okies told The Washington Post the rally resulted in “13 arrests on a range of charges including assault with a deadly weapon, obstructing a police officer, and various Berkeley municipal code violations.”

All this just reminds me of all the LIES the Left tried to spread about the Tea Party, when the real violent and distrustful group are themselves.

Different riot, this was at Berkley today. Nothing from the report said the conservative group was violent.

From your story: "A pepper-spray-wielding Trump supporter was smacked to the ground with homemade shields."

We really need to decide if spraying people in the face with an irritant is offensive or not. When anyone perceived as a "leftist" does it, it's labeled an attack.

Lol Rob, why are you talking about both sides being violent when you threw an utter fit when this was pointed about what happened in Charlottesville?

I'm just posting the President's words and reasoning, sport. So calm thyself. Calm.

a TERRORIST attack!

No confirmation of this, but I'm hearing Antifa put someone into a coma. Again NO confirmation, so do not get triggered.

Where does it say this person sprayed anyone in the face with anything?

So why are you posting them if you do not agree with them?

Last time I checked people carried pepper spray for self defense. And last time I checked that wasnt a crime either.

Antifa wears all black and carries the flag. Are you saying this story is inaccurate?

There was another reporter who witnessed the violence as well, though he wasn't there in an official capacity he himself was harassed as he tried to take pictures. They tried to tell him he couldn't take them, which is BS because they were on public property. He posted what happened to him on Facebook, you can find it described in this article:

Bay Area TV Anchor: "I Experienced Hate First Hand Today In Berkeley" From Antifa

Here how some replied to his post:

"Mileen Nahon I wouldn't be surprised if they were actually part of the Neo Nazi group and are dressed as counter-protestors to make the opposing side look bad. WHY wear so much disguise unless you are there to cause real damage? WHY are you there to cause damage if you are there to oppose these fascist morons?

Tommy Salami That's it. I'm done with you, Frank. Did you see Inglorious Basterds? Schindler's List? Hell, Indiana Jones? Were you confused about who the bad guy was? You wandered into a literal battlefield dressed like a Summer tourist and tried to have a conversation? What on Earth is wrong with you?

Bob Demello How do we know they were not far right hater's there to make peaceful protesters look bad?

Eric Anderson Surprising to hear you taking a political position and agreeing with our President's statement regarding violence from many sides. Equivocation between fascists and anti-fascists is a core strategy of the alt-right."

Have you noticed that those on the left tend to make fun of those on the right and call some of them conspiracy theorists, etc. but the moment it becomes convenient they embrace them?

That link I posted also mentions a guy supposedly being beaten into a coma after being mistaken for a nazi. This article also mentions it:

Liberal Media Finally Discovers Antifa and One Professor Defends Their Violence

There is certainly video of the guy being beaten, but no evidence of a coma so far.

How hard is it to buy a scarf of any color and wrap your face though?

I'm just saying that "Antifa" isn't the only group that covers their faces, look at these heroes of the Alt-Right:

edit: Notice the sexacutioner helm in the hands of the guy with the sexy and totally straight chain tats who no doubt has a few gimps chained up down in his basement whom he sodomizes on a weekly rotation? *deep breath*

Video shows a bunch of thugs in black beating on the guy.

Like I said, no confirmation of a coma. The video of the beating is brief, so he must have been beaten on for longer than we see if he is actually in a coma.

EDIT: Of course, even if the man is not in a coma we still have these shit heads attacking someone who isn't in the KKK or a neo nazi.

You can call it an assault, you can call it self defense, you can call it whatever you like
