Interesting, isn't it, that published pictures from the recent clash during a pro-president demonstration at Berkeley show the anti-Trump instigators of violence are wearing masks, while those supporting the president are not.
It is also interesting that published reports indicated the anti-Trump protestors came with bats and other implements to use as weapons.
Interesting as well are other anti-government, anti-conservative, and anti-Trump so called protests are characterized by violence in published reports.
From this perspective, a trend is developing. A scary, negative trend.
These so called protests are no where similar to the civil rights protests of the 60s. They are more like the violence associated with the Democratic national convention in the 60s. These so called protests are the sources of property damage, physical assaults, and lawlessness.
Moreover, the recent report that Berkeley has cancelled a speech by conservative commentator Ann Coulter highlights the deeply disturbing practice by universities and colleges of denying free speech. This practice is particularly onerous when it occurs on taxpayer funded campuses.
The combination of the trend of violence perpetrated by those against conservative views and denying free speech by universities and campuses refutes all that for which the civil rights movement stood. The combination sounds more like something that would happen in a despotic country than in America.
Peaceful protests - yes.
Anarchy - no.
