protests. president trump tweeting this less than two hours ago.

to the downtown area of berkeley where they targeted wells fargo, bank of america, destroying atms, breaking more windows there. it did start peacefully with several hundred students. protest, were upset over his racism and misogynistic views. at around 6:00 last night, police canceled the speech because of the violence outside the student union. the police chief blames a group of 150 men and women dressed in black with bandanas covering their faces who came from off campus to cause problems. they started throwing rocks, molotov cocktails. they used gaslight posts to generate a fire. as i mentioned, they canceled that speech.
