At least 15 people have been arrested after violence broke out Saturday between groups of Trump supporters and detractors holding rallies in downtown Berkeley, according to police.

 

Hundreds of people with opposing opinions on President Donald Trump threw stones, lit fires, tossed explosives and tear gas and attacked each other with makeshift weapons as police stood by.

 

Violence escalated when counter-protesters against a pro-Trump 'Patriots Day' rally broke through netting separating the two groups in Berkeley's Martin Luther King Jr Civic Center Park.

 

Supporters of the president attended a 'Patriots Day' rally, which was organized by the Liberty Revival Alliance, potentially as a counterpoint to Tax Marches being held in cities across the country.

 

At least 200 people were at the park on Saturday morning when several members of the opposing groups broke through netting separating the two and started pushing each other, the reported Mercury News.

Today I met with "Baked Alaska" one of the speakers for the last minute event in Berkeley.

With Ann Coulter out Gavin McInnes helped to set up a last minute free speech event at MLK Park, the same place the violence took place at just two weeks ago.

I met with Baked to learn about what he believes in and why he is speaking here. Will Antifa show up again and what do you stand for?
