Entire Bay Area news channels; KGO; KNTV; KTVU; KRON has been covering the fires and riots at Cal.
In addition, most cable outlets including CNN and MSNBC are taking live and direct feeds from the TV outlets.

Looks like a long night in Berkeley.

ReplyDeleteYawn. This "uprising" reminds me of that Cowsil's song, "I love the Snowflake Girl". "Snowflakes in their hair, Snowflakes everywhere!"
DeleteYeah, the guy's a jerk. UC Berkeley is a hotbed of narrow-minded intellectual elites, most of whom don't even pay for their tuition.
ReplyDeleteWhy they cops don't arrest the repeat vandals, especially those with masks over their faces, escapes me.
Surfer Dude...
DeleteHave you ever heard of the Outsider Group called BLACK BLOCK, the "ANARCHIST GROUP???" The Students of UC Berkeley had a Peaceful Protest, the ANARCHIST when buck wild, & tore up Crap?!
I'd advise you to Direct your Comment to BLACK BLOCK, THE LOCAL ANARCHIST GROUP.
It looks like the brownshirts won't let Milo speak. He's canceled. Shades of Hitler Youth!

DeleteMilo's former Boss, the Breitbart White Supremacist in the White House Stephen Bannon, are the ones against "FREEDOM OF SPEECH." Bannon told the MEDIA TO "SHUT UP" last week?! Hypocrite Much, Double Standard Much, huh???
There is supposed to be freedom of expression on a University campus.
DeleteUse tear gas and rubber bullets.
Guaranteed these snowflakes will not act up again.
I saw more diversity in that group of young activists then ANY gathering of TeamTrump. Its pathetic that Trump supporters bring up Hitler..because the ethnic cleansing in government that Trump is doing right now is just a start.
DeleteStan, I'm sort of into meritocracy without regard to ethnicity, as opposed to diversity for its own sake.
DeleteOut of concern for the safety of the non-demonstrators in the crowd. But I agree, 'Dude.
ReplyDeleteIt's a "Spare The Air Day," no fires!
ReplyDeleteSpot on! Some jerk in Piedmont was using a fireplace in the morning. It was bothersome to those of us playing tennis. We all complained "it's spare the air day!!"
Delete1,500 peaceful demonstrators were overshadowed by 10 skinny white anarchists. Now the narrative from Alex Jones and his ilk will be that left is intolerant. Btw one nazi skin head was knocked out and another obvious police instigator plant was escorted out of a store.
ReplyDeleteMilo played UCB like a fiddle...
DeleteBtavo!
I thought KRON's coverage was straight out of FOX news. First they sent the toothy boob JR Stone to be the main reporter. Stone as usual called everyone there agitators and violent..then sent it back to Grant Lodes who took the end of the world narration to higher levels.
ReplyDeleteI was not happy that young people fighting neo fascism were painted by the bay area media as all "agitators". Although in the 60's the media said the same thing about civil rights marchers didn't they?
UC Berkeley should have expected they would get what they got. With people angry at Trumps emperor presidency...to then bring in the virus that causes the fever in Milo man,to just spew everything anti Berkeley. IF they had him debate- and thus take it on the chin from resident liberals,I bet it would have been a success.
I even predicted before the protests started this was going to get physical in a tweet to Wayne Freedman of ch7...15 minutes later..I was proved right.
We have a President who is a right wing anarchist. Broken windows?..a small price for what this country is going to go through as Trump starts wars and ends freedoms.
So if I don't agree with what you have to say I can come to your house, break the windows and set it on fire????
DeleteIf I ever acquire the power to cause a nuclear war as president or influence the man who does with a right wing rag..sure. I would hope you do worse then that!
DeleteI just heard a professor of political crime on KCBS- AGREE WITH ME..on "Black Block" He said what I said,they were fighting fascism. Even as I write the Trump administration is performing an ethnic cleansing of government employee's and as we all can see,those appointed by him are overwhelmingly one color- his own.
DeleteFascists fighting fascism I love it!
DeleteSo for over an hour last night, during the protests - NBC Bay Area had "Event Canceled" on the screen - ugh!
ReplyDeleteFor those blog respondents and local media reporters who can't seem to fathom the reality that we can have local black-flag operations that are intended to discredit legitimate protests against a Nazi-think-alike dirtbag like Milo Yiannopoulos, I invite you to read on.
ReplyDeleteFirst, ask yourself the question: As hard as it is to become a student at Cal Berkeley, both financially and intellectually, why would ANY student want to jeopardize his/her costly education by masking up and going postal at a student march? Anyone with an IQ of over 20 can accurately answer that question.
The masked violent trouble makers at this UC Berkeley protest and at the Oakland Occupy Wall Street protests of years ago aren't students, or even angry citizens. They and their ilk are transparently and obviously what is known as agents provocateurs. In other words, these low-brow violence-loving wienies are paid agitators. They are hired and brought in especially to discredit otherwise legitimate and non-violent social and political protests. The more legitimate and non-violent the real protest is intended to be, and the more threatening that the protest is to the social and/or political power structure, the more likely that it will be infiltrated and discredited by these kinds of hired goons. They serve at the behest of filthy-rich politically conservative authoritarians (no names are necessary here), whose goal is that NO ONE should ever be allowed to protest the rich guy's flat-earth belief systems, not for even the most legitimate of grievances. In their minds, only the WEALTHY should ever have a voice in our society.
During the Occupy Wall Street protests in Oakland, a few years back, numerous witnesses observed that these kinds of masked thugs arrived by the dozens, in unmarked buses with obscured windows. They got unloaded a few blocks from "action central" and then they spread out and gravitated to the actual protest area in small groups of two to four individuals. Many of them even wore precious little all-black "uniforms," with arcane embroidered patches on them. And of course, they all had donned their omni-present bandanas, before ever exiting the bus. Gotta hide one's face, especially when one is a gutless little monkey of a violence-whore.
THEY are the ones who throw the Molotov cocktails. THEY are the ones who practice costly vandalism. And, THEY are the ones who the local news media NEVER seem to be able to recognize and report as the hired troublemakers that they are. And, it's the media reporters' blindness to these centuries' old shuck-and-jive black-flag operations which is mostly responsible for the operations' success in discrediting entire social and political movements.
What we need is for local law enforcement to be under RIGID orders to make these masked goons their PRIMARY targets in the crowds: Wear a bandana... go to jail. Then, at the jail, the masks/bandanas get removed, booking photos get taken, and the thugs get grilled for the identity of the rich scumbag(s) who hired them.
Del, try listening to Milo speak prior to falling in line with the other misinformed lemmings. Your opening statement calling him a nazi-think-alike dirtbag is beneath you. Such a shame.
DeleteThe masked trouble makers...did they answer an ad asking for people to show up and disrupt? There is evidence of that in the past, some even offering $2,500. Was a certain left wing billionaire leader involved as has been speculated in the past?
Masked goons destroyed the message. The right eats this up...and there is nobody to blame but yourselves.
ReplyDeletePatrol your own...and keep your own house clean.
Those are liberal thugs....not alt-right thugs.
The alt-left got "played" by Milo...they expected the riot AND the interlopers.
Ya got played.
Trump is allowing Exxon to pay foreign governments without reporting that.
ReplyDeleteTrump has told woman they MUST wear dresses in the WH.
Trump is rolling back Dodd-Barnes,an order that made big banks responsible for loans made. That was because we were nearly bankrupted in 2007.
Trump has sent troops to the mid east and threatens Iran..after his campaign was all "Why are we in the mid east?"
The wall...Australia...Russia. Oh,a Russian activist and USA citizen is right now dying in Russia from poisoning- the second time. He opposes Putin. The Trump administration has said nothing.
And..The Supreme Court nominee? In his private school days he founded a newsletter called "Fascism Forever". His mother was Ann Burford who tried to ruin the EPA as a Reagan appointment in the 80's..she resigned in disgrace.
Plenty more...
I knew if I told StanTheMoron he was (almost famous), he would take it, hook, line and sinker. Post, after post, after post now....total idiot! LMAO!!! Best laugh I have had in a long time!!
DeleteNext I am going to tell him to run for some type of political position, because we need people like him guiding the rest of us during these turbulent times!! LMAO!!
347 In all that? Never once proved me wrong. He puts out instead, "Insult alternative facts".
DeleteHey 3:47, you can't counter any one of Stan's points, obviously. Who's the moron now?
DeleteDid you know that acceptable attire for female staffers of southern Republican Senators includes suits and heels? You act as though this is some huge revelation but I can assure you it isn't.
