Aaaand the periscope streamer just got punched and the stream ended...

It's concerning how many times I've had to change streams because of the person being violently assaulted and the stream cutting off.

Thats part of the strategy, they dont want anyone filming. In a BLM protest in Oakland they passed out flyers about it a while ago.

[–]tinnyminny 1940 ポイント1941 ポイント  (875子コメント)

This video compiles a lot of the beatings that took place tonight, including the beating of the guy who may have actually been killed. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p3fT6pnhjJA (Starts at 27 seconds, and 2:30 is when the cameraman tries to film the guy again) When the cameraman tries to film the guy's bloodied head, the protesters yell at him to stop filming and even try to bodyblock the shot. Fucking sickening.

[–]EvlSteveDave 782 ポイント783 ポイント  (193子コメント)

Honestly, this video doesn't even capture 1/4th of the shit I've seen from tonight.

[–]chiefcastro16 1382 ポイント1383 ポイント  (240子コメント)

That video is fucking disgusting. Everyone needs to get a grip over themselves I don't give a fuck who the hell you voted for. It's no excuse to beat someone senseless

Do you have a source? That's fucking awful if true.

[–]PleasantNA 469 ポイント470 ポイント  (226子コメント)

Getting knocked unconscious, especially onto concrete/asphalt is really dangerous. He also got beaten by a shovel or something while knocked out. No official sources though, just the rumour flying around at this point.

Fuck. Berkeley better do something about this shit. Fuck them if they don't.

The mayor ordered a stand down, basically telling the cops they can't interfere.

He's a piece of shit too

[–]Liveonafarm 386 ポイント387 ポイント  (16子コメント)

I think we can gather that he is a piece of shit if he orders the cops to not intervene during a riot. This isn't a protest anymore, this is a riot.

[–]dayoldhansolo 621 ポイント622 ポイント  (68子コメント)

I don't understand. They don't want to be filmed but they want police officers to have body cameras?

Can someone please explain to me how a Mayor can tell his police to stand down when innocent bystanders' lives are in jeopardy? I understand the University's Police Force may be not large enough to handle such a large situation but why weren't state troopers and surrounding areas dispatched sooner? Genuinely curious.

[–]KUSH_DID_420- 908 ポイント909 ポイント  (15子コメント)

the stream shut off. Last thing that happened was the streamer got hit, the rioters said 'turn off the camera'. I believe that they are probably destroying things now

[–]dalovindj 600 ポイント601 ポイント  (5子コメント)

That streamer had balls of steel. He was right up in it. Closeup shots of the destruction of the Starbucks, the Chase bank, the Wells Fargo bank. All calmly narrated from a few feet away.

Respect. Hope he's ok.

[–]KUSH_DID_420- 191 ポイント192 ポイント  (1子コメント)

yeah he was a good one, no stupid shit behind the camera, very close to everything. I think he likely had his phone stolen, idk what's going on, maybe the cops shut the streams to move in? or maybe the thugs stole them and are burning shit, its only like 9:45pm Pt

[–]GodOfDumbness 368 ポイント369 ポイント  (63子コメント)

I frankly don't understand why no one is there! Like, someone must have called 911 when the first guy got beat into the ground. Why is there no ambulance? People literally could be dying and there is no response. wtf?

EDIT: To clarify, I am asking why there are no emergency services arriving. I understand that EMS do not go to actively violent areas but it still begs the question: Why did EMS not arrive with a police escort?

Can confirm, am certified EMT-B. That's beaten into your head--if nobody else comes home, you do. No matter whether it's a cop, fireman, drug dealer or murderer, you do everything in your power to save them and get them to a medical facility, but not only are you not obligated to risk your own welfare, you're ordered not to.

Someone else wrote that the Berkeley police isn't large enough of a force to handle all the rioters and that the mayor is agenda-driven and possibly told the police to stand down.

[–]applextrent 242 ポイント243 ポイント  (13子コメント)

Apparently the mayor told the police to stand down and let the riot continue for over 3.5 hours.

Why do we still call them "protesters"? That was a full scale riot.

[–]idiotsloveboxes 406 ポイント407 ポイント  (27子コメント)

When something gets set on fire it's a riot, not a protest.

[–]samanwilson 4961 ポイント4962 ポイント  (504子コメント)

For the people that have never gone to Berkeley:

There's a really big anarchist group in the Berkeley/Oakland area. Whenever there is a protest (literally anything) they show up dressed all in black with their faces covered and clubs and just break shit. Literally there's a Wells Fargo across campus that gets all its windows smashed several times a year. This sort of rioting isn't unique to Milo or Trump, most people that have been to the school in the past 15 years will have experienced something like this at least once.

[–]dmpastuf 1334 ポイント1335 ポイント  (119子コメント)

Sounds like someone should install some 4 inch think plexiglass instead of regular Windows this time around.
That is unless it's all a conspiracy for Big Glass

Yup, often enough they're not even students. They travel around the area and fuck up stuff wherever the perceived "fascist" goes.

[–]Russian_upvote_bot 265 ポイント266 ポイント  (57子コメント)

It seems like they have a whole infrastructure worked out. They advertise Signal (encrypted texting app), stop people from filming, and are all similarly dressed/armed. It's like an organized incitement force.

[–]x2Infinity 137 ポイント138 ポイント  (20子コメント)

They are. Compare these guys to the G20 rioters in Toronto. Same style, same outfits.

[–]johnny_yogurt 397 ポイント398 ポイント  (9子コメント)

if by protest you mean riot where they beat a man to death with shovels, sure.

This is my comment from a previous thread that got removed for an incorrect title.


In the streams I'm currently watching, protesters are attacking Trump supporters, windows are getting smashed, and fires are being set. Police have declared the protests an unlawful assembly and the university has told students to shelter in place.

Police in riot gear are now firing tear gas and escorting someone who appears to be wounded.


EDIT: Here's a photo from the UC Berkeley twitter account

EDIT2: Here's a video of people yelling "beat his ass!" while masked antifa attack a motionless Trump supporter, hitting him with sticks.

EDIT3: Here's the twitter account of the UC Berkeley police. If you are on campus, you should leave the area if possible.

EDIT4: Protesters have unfurled banners reading "This is War" and "Become Ungovernable"

EDIT5: Here's a video of a woman in a Trump hat getting peppersprayed while she gives a TV interview

EDIT6: Here's a video of masked protesters attacking ATMs at a Bank of America.

EDIT7: It looks like rioters have gained entry to several businesses in the area (including Starbucks, Chase Bank, and Wells Fargo). Streamers are reporting looting.

EDIT8: UC Berkeley police report that the protesters are heading back to campus. They advise to "stay indoors and away from windows."

EDIT9: Here's a video of a Starbucks being looted. This is one of the businesses mentioned in EDIT #7.

It's ironic that the University imposed a last-minute security fee of $6500 on the students who organised the event (a tactic used by many Universities to drop speakers they don't like) and they still ended up being violently attacked.

[–]stationhollow 193 ポイント194 ポイント  (3子コメント)

I would demand my money back. That the money was paid for security to ensure the event went without issue that caused it to be canceled. They failed to achieve that goal. The speech didn't happen.

[–]360-No-Stump[🍰] 409 ポイント410 ポイント  (16子コメント)

On one stream, I saw a group of police escort someone into a building. The person appeared to be wounded. That was quite a while ago.

I don't remember seeing any arrests on any of these streams.

[–]N0w0rNever 179 ポイント180 ポイント  (13子コメント)

They actually moved to the 2nd floor and let the violent riots happen down below. Then after all the windows were smashed the mob moved further to attack people all over the stret no police anywhere.

Milo was at university of New Mexico last Friday. One of the policemen I asked said that there was between 60 and 100 state police on top of riot police, local, and university. Someone tried to start shit and we're taken the fuck down by the riot police, while it might have cost a hell of a lot in overtime no one was hurt and the even went on generally peacefully. Why did this event not have this or were the police just overwhelmed?

The mayor posted this 9 hours ago. https://twitter.com/JesseArreguin/status/826958754360877057 Alsoo 3/4 of his tweets are anti-trump. Clearly it means a lot to the mayor to not let an pro -Trump figure make a speech in his town . Even if it means telling the police to stand down & letting rioters vandalize his town.
He's not acting like a mayor but an activist.

Berkeley dude. I live 15 miles away consider myself pretty damn Liberal. But fuck Berkeley is just another level of complete insanity. If people don't agree with your actions or ideas they will force their own upon you. A couple days ago some lady grabbed a cigarette from my friend's hand and put it out and then berated him for smoking in Berkeley. You couldn't have just asked him to put it out? For fuck sakes.

A few years ago, I was talking to a union leader of a sister local that represented employees at Berkeley. Apparently, the students at Berkeley thought the union was too conservative and was usurped by the student Communist party. Yeah, a union of academics was too conservative for Berkeley.

Fuck this guy. His job requires protecting the people of his town, does it not? His personal political agenda shouldn't get in the way of that. He should be forced to resign, and if someone died because of his decision to have his police force stand down, he should be indicted.

[–]5panks 296 ポイント297 ポイント  (14子コメント)

Mayor told the police to stand down because he is pushing a political agenda. The police even labeled it an unlawful assembly, but the Mayor isn't necessarily against what they're protesting about and feels that more national coverage will swing his way if he lets them riot and destroy property.

The car video was even more pathetic. Antifa black bloc protesters armed with bats, wood poles and clubs screaming and ganging up on the guy and then crying foul when he drives the fuck out of there. Yeah, i'm sure he should have stuck around to get his car smashed to bits and his head kicked in by an angry mob. Anyone remember the LA Riots where Reginald Denny was pulled from his truck and beaten to the point where he became permanently disabled?

The violent protestors crying about Milo being a fascist ought to take a long look in the mirror. The hysterical narrative and tactics being deployed to suppress peaceful right-leaning speakers on campuses are absolutely abhorrent.

[–]Extender_Myths 132 ポイント133 ポイント  (83子コメント)

[–]Lifeform604 470 ポイント471 ポイント  (15子コメント)

Even for CNN that is a pathetically biased headline! They won't call them riots even thought the article grudgingly admits to mass violence and property damage, and the pictures show arson.

What would their headline be for a robbery where the victim is beaten to death? "Man dies after losing property dispute."?

If that's the case, the Berkeley police and city officials themselves may need to be investigated by Jeff Sessions and the Department of Justice for potential civil rights violations, if there actually was any sort of "stand down" order which had the effect of enabling the suppression of 1st amendment free speech.

In other words, use civil rights-era anti-intimidation laws against agencies like Berkeley Police, the mayor's office, etc.

Milo is offensive, politically incorrect, and they disagree with what he says - they're protesting because of all of that, right?

So the response to all of that is to start fires, physically assault people, and destroy property?

No. This was a riot.

Regardless however, it is inexcusable behavior.

Why is everyone either a liberal or a conservative? What the fuck is wrong with people? Most people are not identified and don't want to identify with either group. Get the fuck over your little skirmish boners and realize that people are fucking individuals who have varying opinions about a vast number of subjects. The pigeonholing bullshit is ridiculous and the polarization of America is being pushed by complete morons. Can we just build a wall around all the radically minded individuals who lack critical thinking skills?

[–]bbrown3979 57 ポイント58 ポイント  (10子コメント)

As someone who identifies as an American I wholeheartedly back this. I dont care what your beliefs are, if youre getting physically attacked for them I'm jumping in too.

Likewise. This is the danger of the disintegration of institutions. Ideologues of all sorts want to step into the vacuum and offer a way out. The more and more unhinged the federal government becomes, the worse wealth inequality becomes, the more the Democratic party refuses to reform. I fear things will get far worse before they get better and a lot of innocent people are going to get hurt beyond what already has. All so a bunch of fanatics can be legends in their own minds.

Fanatics are always legends in their own minds. It's the heart of half of the political subs on Reddit. I cannot stand it. I don't see how people try to pass hate as actual intuitive thought.

I think at the point where banks, Starbucks, and people with dissenting opinions started getting smashed with pipes and bats, it stopped being a "protest" and started being a "riot".

"Riots". The word you are looking for is "riots," CNN. You fucking hacks.

Violent riots, not protests.

I'm a student there. Tonight was bullshit. I have no respect for these so called "protesters". They're the reason some people view liberals as crazy nut-jobs who hate free speech.

Were most of the "protestors" even affiliated with the university? I feel like these Black Flag people roam around the West Coast trying to find an excuse to riot, burn shit, and assault people.

[–]DoctorDevil 482 ポイント483 ポイント  (108子コメント)

From my understanding the protest was peaceful until it got dark then a bunch of people wearing black showed up and started breaking shit and starting fires. Thats what i heard on the radio but idk

That's what I heard from people who were there. It's agonizing, because people wanted things to be really positive, and instead this is what we got. What a fucking waste.

And now the entire student population who peacefully protested gets blamed as a collective. Great.

So, due to the Streisand effect, I ended up watching a number of Milo speeches, including his most controversial ones. Frankly? I don't see the radical nazi figurehead everyone says he is -- these speeches have the severity of medium intensity stand-up comedy.

People just want to justify rioting and violence, it's pretty telling.

"Free speech only if it's what I believe in."

As a Bay Area resident I'm not at all surprised, this whole area has gone off the deep end politically.

Call it what it is, it is a violent riot, not a protest.

[–]Trussed_Up 5500 ポイント5501 ポイント  (821子コメント)

"Protest" doesn't cover it. This was a riot.

There looks to be serious property damage, several explosions can be heard, a truck looks like it was lit on fire, buildings were defaced, a reporter for CNN was endangered, and that's just the stuff I saw perusing the situation.

I too find Yiannopolous distasteful. I think he's much more of a troll than an honest advocate for any particular philosophy.

Know what my solution is?

I don't go to see his events. Wild I know. But so far I have never been 'triggered' by what he has to say, because after listening enough to understand what he's about, I don't bother with him.

These incredibly obtuse rioters are little fascists in the making. Perfectly willing to not allow people to even hear different opinions.

Bunch of weeny little thugs.

Continues to be a riot. It hasn't stopped.

They've moved on to downtown now. This guy is embedded in the group now, as they vandalize the shit out of the local businesses.

I have honestly no idea. I'm expecting the police to step in any day now, at least I hope so.

LOL, the government officials in California telling the police to stop something they want to happen? Good luck. They've been given stand down orders.

There are tons of videos of rioters attacking people at Berkeley up already. Keep in kind these are just some of the ones that have been caught on video and uploaded so far. This is still ongoing.

Here is a reply someone tweeted @YoungDems4Trump

@YoungDems4Trump It was a guy NOT a "young girl" #alternativefactsarenotfacts

Jesus Christ... even if it was a guy or not how in the fuck can you be okay with them breaking someone's ribs and stealing their property only to also destroy it?

I myself used to be pretty liberal, but I'm more moderate these days leaning right since November. I even voted Bernie for primaries!

So I normally hate it when some race-baiter tries to say black people are always portrayed as this when white people always get the nicer description. These fuckheads were rioting. Left-wing, white, who gives a fuck, this was violence and property destruction. Milo didn't cancel because he learned some people don't care for his political positions. He was forced to leave for safety reasons.
