  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

On Monday night, dozens of mostly peaceful protestors gathered near the Turning Point event on the university's campus, and scuffles broke out between police and some protestors, videos of the demonstrations show. At one point, somebody threw smoke bombs, CBS News Bay Area reported

They just don't seem able to help themselves. Did any news outlet report "mostly peaceful protestors" at J6?

Justice Department says "violent riot" under investigation by FBI's Joint Terrorism Task Force in the face of the enormity of three arrests and one injury. UC Berkeley acknowledges "There is no place at UC Berkeley for attempts to use violence or intimidation to prevent lawful expression or chill free speech"

According to a statement from the Berkeley Police Department, two men were arrested on suspicion of fighting in public. One of those individuals was released after officers determined that a 25-year-old man had stolen his chain and he was attempting to get it back.

Two other individuals were arrested by campus police for failing to comply with directions, a university spokesman said.

One 45-year-old man attending the event was hit by a glass bottle and transported to the hospital.

ETA: oh a car backfired, which scared TPUSA attendees.
