If you know any Trump Chumps, you will need this link in the coming days...

“I do not believe our students were involved in the vandalism and the violent behavior that occurred. This was a group of agitators who were masked up, throwing rocks, commercial grade fireworks and Molotov cocktails at officers,” UC Berkeley Police Chief Margo Bennet told reporters. “Those were not our students. That’s not our students’ behavior.”

I always wonder why the police don't arrest THOSE individuals. The police can target who they see throwing molotov cocktails, breaking windows, doing the violence, etc. Instead, they pounce on some minor characters and the riots gets out of hand. Where the fook are the POLICE when you need them??

I've had it with my two older sisters. They respond with "I love you, but...." bull shit, and that's not going to do it for me. I mentioned to one, now I know how the German people were suckered into a life with Adolf Hitler. They are ignorant, and intend to remain so. They call ME ignorant, and that was the last straw. I basically told them to pull their ignorant heads out of Fox-propaganda's ass and wake the fook up. I've had it. I don't need to be further associated with someone who willfully wants to remain ignorant and support such an atrocious president and administration. Shame on them, and I honestly don't feel one bit sad about it. I've had it with their stupidity.

Trump relatives. There is nothing that can be done with or for them. They will get what they want and it will destroy them. So be it.

Throwing bricks and barricades, and molotove cocktails and flares /fireworks, etc...

Officials said the smaller group was dressed in black and in hooded sweatshirts and showed up as night fell to break windows with metal barricades, throw smoke bombs and flares and start a large bonfire outside the building with a diesel generator. Bricks were also used.



And there was only 1 arrest? WTF?

Old tactic used to justify assaults against labor strikes and rallies. Like Haymarket Square.
