Did you read the same article I did?
From over here the article looked unbiased as it laid blame for the violence on Antifa.
Note that the following from the article is credited to Mother Jones
which everybody knows is a leftist rag and has beenfrom it's beginning.
By the end of the fighting, Mother Jones reporter Shane Bauer said, “Militias, alt-right, nazis etc. won today in Berkeley. They outnumbered the opposition, pushed it back, and held downtown.”
The article does mention "alt right goons" and you and I have had this disagreement before. You think
those alt right goons don't exist..But I know some of those alt right goons.
The bottom line for me is that I think the decent people were home minding their own business during that fight.
The people fighting in the streets of Berkeley whether on the left or right knew they were going to fight.
Fighting in the streets will only accomplish martial law.
The point of the article is that there is fighting in the streets, it is being provoked by Antifa (but reacted to violently by some on the right..or it wouldn't be a fight..) the cops are standing down, and it will continue.
Now, whether NR is a neocon rag or just a conservative one I'm not here to judge,
but that article's author, the guy who wrote "that shiite" is:
