Bloody Clashes As Trump Protesters, Supporters Exchange Blows At Berkeley Rally
Embarrassing Police Stand Down At Berkeley


Pro-Trump demonstrators and counter-protesters clashed Saturday at a “Patriots Day” rally in Berkeley, the third time the two groups engaged in violent confrontations on city streets in recent months.

Fist fights broke out among members of both groups on the streets around Martin Luther King Jr. Civic Center Park, where pro-Trump supporters had scheduled a rally. Fireworks and smoke bombs were thrown into the crowd, and a few demonstrators were doused with pepper spray.

At least a dozen people were arrested, according to some media reports.

Stewart Rhodes, founder of the citizen militia group known as the Oath Keepers, came from Montana with about 50 people wearing security gear to protect the Trump supporters. They were joined by bikers and others who vowed to fight members of an anti-fascist group if they crossed police barricades.

"I don't mind hitting” the counter-demonstrators, whom he called “neo-Nazis," Rhodes said. "In fact, I would kind of enjoy it."

But Rhodes credited Berkeley police for new tactics that mostly kept the two sides apart and "our side chilled and relaxed," though sporadic fights broke out among both groups throughout the morning and afternoon.

"It's getting sporty "said Oath Keeper John Karriman, 59, who is from Missouri and was among the group's security leaders for the pro-Trump group.

AJ Alegria, 31, of Sacramento, said he came to Berkeley to help defend Trump supporters. He said he pursued a counter-demonstrator down a side street and found himself surrounded by a dozen protesters in black masks who he said attacked him with sticks and pepper spray.

"These people create violence all the time... somebody has to stand up to them," said Alegria, who was injured in the fight and treated by Trump supporters who bandaged his head, washed off the pepper spray and gave him encouragement, saying, "You've earned your stripes bro."

Alegria wasn’t the only one injured.

"Stand up America! Stand up!" shouted another Trump supporter in the middle of Center Street with a bandage on his head and streaks of blood on a sign that read "Stop Liberal Intolerance."

Meanwhile, giving a speech at a well-secured end of the park, alt-right blogger Laura Southern railed against societal change, Kim Kardashian and the media. She called on members of her movement to "realize Trump is only a foot in the door."

"We must become like them," she said referring to her opponents, "subversive."

The rally, one of many being held across the country, is sponsored by the pro-Trump group Liberty Revival Alliance and was originally scheduled for noon to 4 p.m. in Martin Luther King Jr. Civic Center Park. A regularly scheduled farmer’s market, which is usually held adjacent to the park, was cancelled as a precaution.

A single vendor showed up Saturday to sell organic produce. “Rain or shine or fascism we will be here,” said a young woman operating the cash register. http://www.latimes.com/local/lan

Thanks "TRUTH" for the "Wedgie" maneuver as I forgot to include it in my critique after I hit enter. It clearly shows a wedgie maneuver in process. That should get the attention of the "Left Wing Liberals". If not, it will raise their voice octaves a few frequencies.

I used to wrestle and practice Judo in Japan and also have a Martial Arts background. I also used to teach Judo. That photo looks like a reverse cross face except in the rear with a "kokyu Onage" on the right arm(Aikido) Very effective when bring down a Liberal. I notice the Liberal on the bottom is attempting a very "poor" Uchi Mata(Judo) and has lost his balance and is falling. Bad position to be in. I think the Point goes to the "Biker" on that round. Ippon !

I am former U.S. Secret Service, SDPD, U.S. Mint Police/Treasury, U.S.Customs & Immigration and I am highly trained in Counter-Terrorism, riots, insurgencies, etc...and I was responsible for the security of Foreign Embassies in Wash.D.C. as well as the White House and I am full aware of these "Rioters" who are PAID professionals who have been trained to attack and disrupt "PEaceful" demonstrations being held by others and to disrupt or confuse the Police and taunt the Police into defending themselves or agitate them into Violence or even a shooting to create an incident which is counter-productive to the Peaceful marches.

These agitators are usually unsuccessful and FAIL in their goals to create a news media event and will do everything they can to cause bad publicity for the sitting President or Administration. You have to ask yourself WHO benefits from that and who just lost the election last November?

Therefore, I do NOT put much credence in these instant protests as they are not productive and they are instituted by Left Wing Communists on Failed Causes.  These Protests are also "decoys" to take you away from the Real problems that exist or Fake News. I think we have much more to consider in the World with North Korea and Isis Terrorists who are still active at least for a short time. (See my old site: www.customscorruption.com )
