@jessielau93 Justice is due process, not necessarily an outcome that one desires. These folks need to study.

The #berkeleyprotests are what happens when you combine a bunch of really angry communists in one area for too long.

Protesters took to the streets for a second night in Berkeley, Calif.
Vandalism, looting and fires were widespread:
#WholeFoods has become ground zero for the #BerkeleyProtests. The police are now shooting teargas in the crowd.

Did anybody in the Berkeley mob calculate the carbon footprint of this “protest”?

Some weren’t aware and/or didn’t care about the irony of what they were doing:
"It's the MLK building, you idiots", sez bystander as #berkeleyprotests hurls chair thru City Hall window. pic.twitter.com/xPsbD5TPhR

You can’t have a protest without a chant:
Protesters leaving Hwy 24 & rejoining others.
"Oh,I'm lookin' for my missin' piece
I'm lookin' for my missin' piece"
Hi-dee-ho, here I go"— Henry K. Lee (@henrykleeKTVU) December 8, 2014
You also can’t have a protest fraught with vandalism and looting without a reporter referring to it as “mostly peaceful”:
Protesters heading eastbound on Ashby. About 200 people. Some damaging property, most peaceful. #berkeleyprotests
— Jessie Lau (@_laujessie) December 8, 2014
Some did, however, attempt to clean up afterwards:
