...so would I, it's fake. Visit Berkeley's Police Department, no such melee was reported.

No date was provided in the article to even indicate when it happened.

Special Forces Soldier arrested

BERKELEY, California (Reuters) U.S. Army Special Forces Master Sergeant John Martin was arrested in connection with an altercation involving an estimated 100 anti-fascist protesters.
Aerial footage shows Master Sergeant Martin involved in a violent melee which ended in 53 anti-fascist protesters in the hospitals with 24 of them listed in critical condition.
The injured personnel were brought to Alta Bates Summit Medical Center Berkeley Campus.

According to Berkeley authorities, the incident started when Master Sergeant Martin was visiting the Berkeley campus to speak at a rally for wounded warriors. According to several eyewitnesses, as Master Sergeant Martin was exiting the vehicle he was immediately assaulted by an estimated 100 demonstrators who were there to protest the involvement of the United States military in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Campus police were unable to quell the violent skirmish due to the amount of demonstrators assaulting the Special Forces Soldier. One campus officer, speaking on the condition of anonymity, was shocked by the number of people who were injured by Master Sergeant’s ability to defend himself. The officer was more involved with extracting the numerous injured demonstrators out of the destructive path of Master Sergeant Martin.

“The City of Berkeley Police Department is a small to medium-size department,” he said. “Our police department total is 176. I can tell you most of that 176 responded here today.”

According to the Berkeley campus police report 26 of the 100 estimated demonstrators were arrested. Their charges ranged from battery on a law enforcement officer to inciting a riot to resisting police with violence, according to their arrest reports. One was charged with marijuana possession.
Master Sergeant Martin was part of the 26 arrested and was segregated at the Berkeley Police Department.

The Berkeley Progressive Coalition, which organized the protest, has scheduled a second demonstration beginning at noon Saturday outside the Superior Court of CA, County of Alameda – Berkeley Courthouse. There protesters will call for the release of those jailed Friday.
The Chief of the Berkeley Police Department spoke to reporters and stated Master Sergeant Martin will not be charged with any offenses related to today’s incident. He states, “Master Sergeant Martin was simply defending himself against a group of demonstrators who thought he was an easy target.” As other news agencies pressed and asked the Chief of Police if he would consider, and classify Master Sergeant Martin’s Special Forces training as the use of “deadly force?” The Chief eloquently replied, “We have high hopes that Master Sergeant Martin would consider our proposition of being the lead hand-to-hand instructor for our police department when he retires next year.”
Master Sergeant Martin was observed leaving the police station from a side entrance in an unmarked police car and was taken out the back gate of the police department.

The Department of the Army Special Forces spokesman from the Pentagon, LTC Richard Cabeza, said they were looking into the incident as a teaching point to other Special Forces Soldiers on how to defend themselves in similar situations and he will be consider for a soldiers medal due to being in harms way and potentially saving the lives of several demonstrators from getting killed by his own hands.

Antifa is a terrorist organization. Kudos to Master Sergeant Martin; he is a hero. One hundred against one, he was able to defend himself. US Berkley is nurtures terrorist group of people. A very leftist campus with millennials brainwashed by liberal / progressive professors from various cultures who don't have any loyalty or patriotism to America.

My whole family were dyed-in-the-wool patiotic Christian Democrats back in the 40s, 50s, 60s, and 70's, but what's left of them wouldn't be caught dead in a room full of Democrats today, and I can't say that I blame them. When the Democratic Party and their leaders started leaving and denying GOD, my family members left that political party, that they now consider the political party of Satan, again I believe they are right. Jesus did say that during the "End Times", even some of the elect will be fooled, I just wonder if Jesus also knew they'd all be mostly Democrats?

If you go to any large Democratic functions, how does it feel to watch Christians being ostracized? When Ronald Reagan became President, many Democrats that I knew switched to the Republican Party, but the Democrats were not openly chastizing Christians and denouncing GOD yet, but today any Democrat that claims to be a Christian must be a liar, or is unaware of what the Democratic Party has changed to be and stands for today. These Christians are probably being duped, as Jesus said even the elect will be. But don't worry, I'm not the judge, Jesus is, and He may believe that what you support, is what you are, and may be guilty of. Just some food for thought for any real and true Christian, for my grandmother, who was raised in a convent until she turned 18 years old, used to tell me as a child that, "Satan doesn't tempt you with things that you dislike," and "Satan will tell you a thousand truths, to get you to believe just one lie," but then again, she was just a devout Christian.

AntiFa and BLM are all Democrats and liberal, progressive, and Democratic advocates, who have called for the murder of police officers and white people. Every public event or protest the AntiFa and BLM attend, they turn into riots, where while wearing bandanas across their faces as masks to hide their identities, they destroy public and private party, physically attack and assault anyone who does not agree with them, and those who are idlely standing and watching, instead of being involved in their riots, are considered as not agreeing with them, as they also deny constitutional rights to everyone who are not part of their belief system. But don't worry, they are the dyed-in-the-wool Democrats of today, and the Democratic Party has embraced both these groups, as has the Democrats' "lap dogs", the liberal biased mainstream media, who promote hatred and physical harm to be directed at all that they label "haters", even when those haters are obeying our laws.

It must really be interesting being a Democrat today, and wonder if you need to be worried about your soul, that is if you believe you have a soul, and that there is a GOD.

Don't feel bad, I lost four family members. I had a cousin who I was very close to when I was in high school. We were going to go to law school and open up a practice. I was going to be the best man at his wedding and the same for me. He loved America. When he left for Vietnam, I had this sinking feeling I would never see him again. In November he was killed during the Tet Offensive. When I got the news, I felt like someone had ripped out my guts. His fiancée was totally devastated and was never the same. She finally got married and left the state. I saw her one more time after my cousin's death. I think she came to terms with it and moved on in life. Since that time, I became an activist and did everything I could to bring that damn war to an end. The lies, loss of life, etc. was all for nothing. I lost all respect for the Federal Government and lying scumbag politicians. I love my country, but I don't trust the pieces of $&it in Washington, D.C. Believe it or not, I served seventeen years in the USMC. I believe right is right and wrong is wrong. I also believe that you should be held accountable for your actions and the choices you make in life. I guess I am old fashion. These kind of values seem to be rare in our current culture.

=====================
Why is the Master Sergeant John Martin being arrested when he was the person attacked by more than 100 Fascists? He has to defend himself from these attacks. US Berkley is a very radical school funded by taxpayers. I hope no federal funding is used for that. The ANTIFA forces must all be arrested and their terrorist organization must be stopped. FBI must arrest all of them committing violence and assaults to those who don't agree with their liberal-progressive and violent ideology. Antifa is a shame for the democrat party,

Check out the disclaimers.


While it is a great story, it should have been posted under 'General Chit Chat'.
