It was only a matter of time before rioting began in Berkeley, California over the deaths of Michael Brown and Eric Garner.
The town, known for leading the nation in socialist policies, began to see the damage of outraged citizens over the weekend who protested under the mantra, “No Justice, No Peace.”
In stark contrast to rioting and looting in Ferguson and New York, the Berkeley protesters took the opportunity to loot their local Whole Foods and Radio Shacks.
There’s no word if the local Birkenstock dealer has been the victim of yuppie looting.
Police deployed tear gas on a crowd of 500 that marched along MLK Jr. Way.
In response, protesters pelleted law enforcement officers from the California Highway Patrol with projectiles and even with what has been described by police as an explosive.
The rioting that has resulted in widespread damage to the town, could not even be stopped by the Dalai Lama who visited Berkeley over the weekend.
Berkeley which was a haven for protests and riots in the 60’s hasn’t seen a good looting in quite some time.
One of the most significant protests took place in September of 1964 when 1,500 students occupied Sproul Hall in protest of the expulsion of an activist student. 773 of the students were arrested.
