The Battle for Berkeley 3.0 Was a Fight Against Antifa
Posted: Mon Apr 24, 2017 9:03 am
Following the February 2 riot on campus by antifa to shut down Milo, as well as their attacks on a Trump rally March 4, Rich Black organized a free speech rally called Patriots Day to be held at noon, April 15 in Martin Luther King Jr. Civic Center Park, where conservative speakers were featured: Lauren Southern, Kyle Chapman, Vaughan Neville, Irma Hinojosa, Baked Alaska and Brittany Pettibone.
Antifa hooligans cover themselves in black with black masks in order to obscure their identities so that if one commits a crime they can not be individually singled out. They also have a system for allowing certain members to commit violence and others to act as shields around them. The police were present during the free speech rally, bu as soon as antifa began throwing M-80s and smoke bombs, the police pulled back, antifa made a column and broke down the plastic mesh fence separating the two sides and the fighting began. According to reports, the free speech side also threw things, but never explosives.
Several prominent free speech activists from across the political spectrum were live streaming the event. Tim Pool, a self-described liberal, said that antifa instigated about 80% of the violence while the free speech attendees started about 20%, although he made the distinction that only antifa was throwing explosives. Lauren Southern, who calls herself a right-winger, was live streaming and said antifa were the only ones throwing explosives and other dangerous objects, such as large rocks, bricks, glass, etc., and she also said they were attempting to murder people by suffocating them with bags over their heads, group stomping victims, etc. Luke Rudowski, probably more of a libertarian centrist, was live streaming and caught the most viral video action after antifa's smoke bomb backfired, follwed by a rush of free speech activists that led to Moldylocks and diminuitive Damigo fighting on camera.
One of the most cowardly and dangerous attacks of the day occurred when a confrontation of the two groups had a few antifa women on the front lines trying to knock phones out of people's hands, while an antifa man jumped out for a sucker punch with a bike lock against someone trying to keep the peace named Sean Stiles.
Here's a video about the bike-lock attack.

The alleged antifa attacker was later doxxed as a teacher at Diablo Valley College in the Bay Area. 4chan /pol/ used facial recognition from social media pics that day to identify him. The man he hit bled profusely from his head and received first-aid from a group of free speech activists who attend these events where they know antifa will come and use violence. They organize themselves into a guarded perimeter where they can bring people in for first aid.

You can also see him swinging the bike lock while fighting in this video. It's a weapon, but at least not a sneak attack.

I see a consensus of video evidence and reporting from this event that antifa is violent, and they say in interviews it is their right to use violence against their political opponents, but I think Tim Pool is absolutely correct that cheering the violence on and failing to reset each interaction in order to look for peaceful dialog will eventually be bad for everyone.

By Any Means Necessary BAMN leader Yvette Felarca, seen nearby the bike-lock attacker from April 15, was also caught on video punching and leading a group attack against a peaceful street marcher in Sacramento last summer on June 26.

One of the questions arising from the three battles of Berkeley are why did the police stand down and not intervene when antifa became violent? Apparently, the mayor of Berkeley is part of BAMN and connected to antifa along with Felarca, so maybe this is the reason. However, Tim Pool suugests it is more likely just a practical matter of a small city not having the resources to deal with a large group of violent people and that if they use sufficient force necessary to intervene, it will be made into an issue of police brutality and used against them.
