Antifa & Alt Right @ Berkeley

Share this article

What exactly makes Antifa antifascist and, for that matter, what makes the so-called alt-right right wing? “An Antifa protest in Berkeley turned violent Sunday when one masked group member sucker-punched a detractor and other agitators smashed the windows at a Marine Corps recruiting post, cellphone video showed,” Travis Fedschun reported on Fox News. “Authorities arrested 20 people during the dueling California demonstrations between Antifa and individuals affiliated with the so-called ‘alt-right.'”

“Three people suffered minor injuries after a group of ‘extremists’ threw ‘explosives’ — believed to be fireworks and flares — at police and the Alameda County Sheriff’s officers. No members of law enforcement were hurt.”
