“No justice. No peace.”
Several dozen people marched to Chancellor Birgeneau’s residence late Friday evening and vandalized the campus property. (DailyCal.org)
The Daily Nexus reported, via Free Republic:
A group of protesters stormed Chancellor Birgeneau’s home last night, smashing windows and throwing torches in a violent demonstration against fee hikes and budget cuts. The attack ended with eight arrested.
According to a press release, about 40-75 people surrounded the chancellor’s house at 11:15 p.m. The crowd shouted “No justice, no peace,” hurled incendiary objects, scattered garbage and broke windows, planters and lights. No fires or injuries occurred.
The eight individuals – including two students from Cal and one from UC Davis – were arrested and charged with rioting, threatening an education official, attempted burglary, attempted arson of an occupied building, felony vandalism and assault with a deadly weapon on a police officer.
“These are criminals, not activists,” Birgeneau said in a statement released by UC Berkeley. “The attack at our home was extraordinarily frightening and violent. My wife and I genuinely feared for our lives. The people involved in this action will be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. I want to emphasize that they represent an extreme minority of our students.”

No sympathy.
Berzerkley has specialized in breeding a nest of vipers, I will not shed a tear if those vipers turn on them and destroy them.
jonyjoe101 commented:
leftist activists/rioters in a leftist university are not the minority, they are the majority. I’m surprise the chancellor was not out there throwing rocks himself.
Poor innocent leftists, now they are going to have to get a job to pay for the fee increases.
Snake Eater commented:
Looks like Obama’s peeps are getting “into their faces”. Wish they would try that at my house. No duty to retreat means many leftist corpses on the lawn afterwards. LOL.

This is what I meant by “Get in their Face!” And, this is exactly the type of “Change” I was hoping for.
I am sure Nancy Pelosi and her constituents will be happy to hear that I endorse Bill Ayer’s style of “Change.” The incendiary bombs and the smashing of property is pleasantly reminiscent of the Weathermen/Black Panther movement. Thank you Nancy Pelosi and crew.They say you are in the minority – but we all know better.
Let me be clear, more money or more bombs at Berkeley. It may sound like extortion but, it’s really the stinking Taxpayer’s fault. They won’t give us their money for educational fisting.
If we can just get more radicals into the “Obama Change” racket we can achieve what Saul Alinsky has advocated. The sooner we “Organize” under the ‘Rules for Radicals’ the faster we can bring my Marxist utopia to reality.
My limousine is running I have to ram “Global Warming” through in Copenhagen. That means giving the Taxpayers a good fisting. I have more riots to incite and more money to skim. My work is far from done. Until the next ACORN meeting Bill Ayers is in charge. He can give you expert explosive advice. Good day.

In the 1930s they screamed “Heil Hitler”. Now they scream “no justice, no peace”.

not following the “causes” they support – but would those causes be some of the same ones that helped bankrupt california. imagine that – actions have consequences and some of those
social justice actions they lent themselves out to have killed the cash cow. another flock of chickens have come home to roost. but not to
fear, obama and the bumblers are adding another unit to the irs that will be chasing down those evil rich people who won’t share…
nothing like the smell of a rude awakening in the morning.

These young community organizers have brighter futures ahead. Whether it will be working as a staffer for some Dem pol, or in the White House, we’ll have to wait and see.

Hey, one of them may even write the memoir of a future far-left presidential aspirant.
Kenny Solomon commented:
Gee, I wonder why the guy didn’t (or wasn’t able to) defend his home and property ?
Half of him was cheering on the rioters, while the other half was realizing that he’s one of those responsible for causing the mindset in the first place.
I’ll venture a guess as to which half wins the argument……..
The ‘third half’ wins……. You know…….. The part of him and every other left-wing Totalitarian Communist Fascist putz that says, “How dare you do this to me ?!? After all I’ve given you in direction, education and life-experience !”
kate commented:
Good. They feared for their lives. So what. This is the curriculum at Berkeley. In the immortal words of President IWon’s preacherman “the chickens are coming home to roost”
daryl commented:
“the chickens are coming home to roost”
Yeah, all Birgineau had to do was open the door to “the chickenhouse” and those rioting “chickens” would have gone right to “roost”.
moral of the story: “never slam the chicken house door in the face of ckickens who are wanting to go to roost.”
jack commented:
They are adding to their resume and will be hired by the Obama administration shortly.
Arch commented:
If I were Andy Stern or a member of the SEIU or ACORN, I would be afraid of this demonstration. Sooner or later, Obama will be forced to rein in his thugs so they do not turn on him.
There is an historical parallel, Ernst Rolm and the SA. From June 30 to July 2nd 1934, Hitler sent Gestapo assassination teams to arrest or execute SA leaders. Several hundreds were thought to have been killed.
msr commented:
Looking at the original story about the arrests, I note that several were men in their 40′s. Damn! Still haven’t finished that PhD in comparative pottery?
No Man commented:
If I had not completed post-doctoral work in proctology (visiting commie weblogs), I’d hop a jet and do some filed work around them a$$holes in Berkley.
I had to stop. The average feces-eating mental defective is far more intelligent than such clowns.
PS: Berginutz: a man would have a box of 00 buck shotshells for such exigencies.
manateespirit commented:
Somehow, some way, this MUST be the fault of the “teabaggers”. Let’s wait for the spin.
Palinfan commented:
@snake eater – good point! I’d love to see that. I’d bring a large Pepsi and a big bucket of popcorn and sit at a safe distance.
Berkeley deserves this – it’s what they allowed and encouraged for years. I submit that if you look close at Berkeley’s classes, there are even classes on protesting. If the Chancellor gets offed by his own angry dogs, I won’t shed any tears.
Mahdi Al-Dajjal commented:
Frankly, I happen to fully agree with Trialdog above.
These young Leftists are simply padding their resumes with “acts of community activism” and the associated arrest records to prove it, in hopes of landing a high-level government job in a future administration post-graduation. Nothing more than that… It’s simple their way of demonstrating a total commitment and faith in the Religion of Leftism.
And if you don’t believe it, just take a look at the arrest records of any “high-level official” working in the present Administration and bringing home a couple hundred grand in salary and perks when they wouldn’t qualify for virtually any job in the workplace because they can’t pass a background check.
Baxter Greene commented:
“These are criminals, not activists,” Birgeneau said in a statement released by UC Berkeley. “The attack at our home was extraordinarily frightening and violent. My wife and I genuinely feared for our lives. The people involved in this action will be prosecuted to the full extent of the law.”………
I bet they will be prosecuted to the full extent of the law.
Unlike the many patriots that were assaulted by leftist when defending the military recruitment offices in Berkeley.
Slap on the wrist and a standing ovation is what these “peace” activists got for assaulting people in the name of “justice”.
Birgeneau should just do what Pelosi did to code pink when they started protesting her.She rezoned the property which forced them to stand in front of other people’s homes ranting and screaming their super intelligent liberal drivel.
Liberal leadership helped create these idiots and loved them when this insanity was directed at Bush…. so it is going to be hilarious to watch them “oppress” their leftest sheep for the next 3 years.
Palinfan commented:
Another thing – who wants to bet that NOT ONE single Liberal watching this realizes the great irony here? And the Chancellor winds up grovelling and apologizing to the disaffected ‘youths’.
CDR M commented:
Uh, I went to Cal and these are the majority of the students, not minority Chancellor. My NROTC unit was firebombed in the eighties and I was held hostage by a group of muslim students during a protest during the first Gulf War. This is what happens when you teach your students to be radical and push the limits of the law for freedom of speech. I guess the Chancellor has a new appreciation for the law now.
Tim commented:
It was interesting to read the teachers responses. You could tell many of them had encouraged these students. I wonder if Nancy Pelosi will have a news conference where she fake cries again and tells these violent thugs that it reminds her of her day’s in the seventies- when of course more lefty protesters were engaging in violence. Also the lefties in Copenhagen are engaging in violence. And Muslim men are trying to intimidate and do ‘dry runs’ of terrorism on our airplanes. But it is clear to me that who we should fear is the grandma’s and grandpa’s and the families, and the mom’s and the dad’s of the teaparty movement.
locomotivebreath1901 commented:
Ever notice how these “peace social justice green anarchist” activists are so violent?
Bunch o’ tantric toddlers. LOCK EM UP!
And when they get out, they can start their own institution for higher learning and give away as many services as their lil tantric toddler hearts desire.

Gee, if I was the chancelor, I would have just grabbed my Mossberg 12 gauge and dispensed a little of my own justice.
Ohhhhh, Cal-Berkely, never mind…
I truly love it when the left goes after their own. Like watching a snake eat its own tail.
I sure hope they’ve offered those “students” some counseling. Probably suffering from PTSD after a violent confrontation with “The Man.”
I think it’s Obama time. Sit down for a cup of herbal tea and hug it out…

GOSH-everyone here knows and has stated that the ‘perps’ were trained by the likes of the ‘chancellor’….
The ‘perps’ will get off scott free- and go on to be professors just like bill AYERS and his ilk!!!
I guess I’m waiting for us in the US to really take a stand….

OMG… they lynched a plant! That young plant had it’s whole life a head of it and they killed it. We don’t know… it could have been a species native to Africa. We just don’t know. And these bully boys killed it. That plant never hurt anybody. And the photographers just take photos of the guts splayed all over the front steps. Please, cover the plants remains with a sheet or something to preserve the plant’s dignity.

There was also 13 janitor,SEIU members, who were let go so yes the SEIU is involved in this. Follow the money in the trials and bails.
Pelosi will call this a peaceful dissent amongst misunderstood youths.
Jim Rose commented:
A lot of lessons here. The stage for this was set during the free speech riots of the early ’60s. It shows how revolutions (sans one, the American one) always fail. They had good points at the start but the movement was taken over by communists and thugs and devolved into what we know as the “60′s”. Now we just have poseurs trying to emulate their heroes.

Obama’s Wheel of Fortune
[The visual imagery far surpasses the written version.
POTUS wavers somewhere between regno and regnavi and one must wonder how quickly the wheel will turn once Fortune catches up with him and his handlers. Is it possible that, instead of simply ending up sum sine regno, the Messianic One will find himself unceremoniously una ala ipso impetu proculcata erat (trampled by his followers)?]
just ask the Chancellor,
hmmm hmmm hmmm..

wanumba commented:
Everything the Left is about is “organizing” to TAKE. “Organizing” is non-producing acitivity. Just human leeches looking for hosts to bleed.
Morally, it’s the sin of coveting, codified.
Fine job our universities have done, producing people who work to undo everyone else’s work.
This time, it’s going to be a lot tougher than during the fat times before. Thanks to leeching policies of the Left, people are out of work, more losing work, many already underemployed – a waste of human talent and skills. The Chancellor may be willing to cave, but he doesn’t have the money anymore – it all comes from taxpayers, not some mythical “somewhere.”
averagemelon commented:
So the good Chancellor found out why the framers added that pesky “Right” to bear arms, eh?
And you taught your dogs well to despise and tear apart the rich and priviledged but forgot you were one of them?
No tears for you, dear Chancellor. You got exactly what you worked so hard for. It’s a shame you were not bruised or worse. In that respect, your students failed.
Derek commented:
From a Leftist’s point of view, it is considered “free speech” and “patriotism” when this type of criminal behavior is fomented and subsequently directed toward Conservatives or Libertarians.
But once the reticle spins 180 degrees and takes dead aim on these scumbag Lefties, they start gnashing teeth and wailing: “These are criminals, not activists.” Birgeneau, shut thy forked-tounged mouth. You deserve to be on the receiving end of this hatred I am sure you so lovingly nurture.
BertoGem commented:
Chancellor Birgeneau needs to get himself an AK-47 –ranked 2nd on the top ten list of self-defense weapons of all time– to protect his family from these leftist radicals. But wait! The AK-47 is illegal in California! Perhaps he can still procure a long bow –ranked #10 on the list, or just keep calling 911and hope for the best.

A few rounds of 12 gauge rock salt would have given them more to worry about than hitting up their mommies and daddies for more money for school and weed.
Just saying.. Protest but be willing to pay the price.

Three of the terrorists ( The 8 charged) are filthy rich as mommy and daddy posted bail for them — indicating they are in top-tax brackets — merely indicating they are their to get publicity for their pathetic lives.

The young protesters are just exercising their right to free speech and throwing things. What next, will they start questioning the free college educations to illegals? The chickens are coming home to roost.
