http://www.sfexaminer.com/berkeley-protesters-met-heavy-police-presence-10-arrested-amid-violent-clashes/Sure seems like it, I wonder if this part of the article is true:
The attackers in this "allegation" were ANTIFA, as in not Nazis, anti Nazis.
I wonder if that is true, at all, and the rest of the article reads like Trump wrote it.

This mainstream feign of outrage is such bullshit, probably half the bodies at these protests are "journalists" just itching for some bad shit to happen so that they can get some juicy content.

It was presented to me by someone who says there is bad and good on both sides, I nearly lost it.
