Antifa Attack In Berkeley
Berkeley, CA – Thousands of masked antifa showed up to an anti-Marxism rally in Berkeley on Sunday with many carrying shields and attacked people who looked like they weren’t on the side of antifa.
This event is still in progress as of the time of this writing and is being updated.
The “No Marxism In America” event was officially canceled prior to the scheduled time on Sunday due to safety concerns.
An estimated 4,000 people are present, mostly antifa, and seven people have been arrested so far. They are chanting “No Trump, no wall, no USA at all.”

In addition to attacking right-wing supporters, the group also attacked journalists as they tried to stop people from filming the violence. KTVU Fox32 reporter Leigh Martinez and her photographer were attacked while filming marching.

Law enforcement worked to keep the groups separate, but they started to intermingle and fight broke out.
At one point the Antifa used their shields disguised as signs to form a line against police.

Police had to use gas to disperse a crowd of antifa who had surrounded a patrol car.

The antifa are mobbing people and calling them Nazis. It’s not clear if any white supremacists or neo-nazis are present. They appear to be focusing on chasing down people who wear any pro-Trump hats or clothing.
