Protest Against Bigotry
A protest against bigotry and Donald Trump took place at Berkeley’s Martin Luther King Jr. Civic Park on Sunday August 27. The protest was meant to be peaceful but soon turned violent after tear gas was released and riots commenced. Along with this, anti-fascist demonstrators were pursuing and assaulting Trump supporters. The same day an anti-marxist assembly was supposed to take place but had to be canceled due to fear of safety and security. Police soon arrived on on the scene and arrested 14 people for violating the regulations of the city prohibiting masks,weapons,and sticks. The people engaging in the violence were far left supporters(essentially democrats or liberals). Many other protests were happening during this with some ending violently.

    Summary Of Trump's Activists

    In the article that I found, it discusses how one of Trumps rallies was canceled due to violence. Trump was suppose to speak in Chicago sometime back sometimes in March. For the ones that had sat there for hours waiting for his appearance, they were not happy. Many times when a rally is suppose to happen, there is always going to be conflict between the protesters and the supporters. Some rallies may go well, others may…

    Vietnam War Weathermen

    But when the group showed up to Lincoln Park on October 8, there was on estimate of three hundred people represent for the protest. The Weathermen and other protesters were wearing football helmets and shoulder pads running through the streets with weapons, with the goal of attacking the federal and local government buildings, at the end of the first night two protesters were shot and forty-five people arrested. The second night of “Days of Rage”, the police and officials give a statement that the Weathermen and protesters are dangerous and, that they will use violence to restore peace and control to the city. Many other protest groups saw the Days of Rage and the Weathermen as very precarious and risky for them, because they felt that the Weathermen were resorting to terror-violence to complete their mission. On October 11, 1969, was the last day for the “Days of Rage” protest, the Weathermen gather at the Lincoln Park police statue, that they destroyed earlier that week of…

    The Neo-Nazi Protest: A Short Story

    It was a crisp October morning when I found out the Neo-Nazi protest. For a ten years old I had no idea what a protest really meant or what Neo-Nazis were. In my head, I thought that this was some type of hippie thing I seen on television at the time. Boy was I wrong. Towards the afternoon, my cousins and I went out to play when we heard some of the older teens talking about what was going on. As we sat on the old green wooden porch, I overheard one of the teens say that the KKK was coming and they were going to go to their rally to kick them out.…

    Race And Terror Sparknotes

    Firstly for the white nationalist side, the preconceived notion they had towards the protestors was “this city is run by jewish communist and criminal n******,”. These notions came from stereotypes, and prejudice from a very young age taught by the environment they grew up in. Dogmatism was used a lot during Christopher Cantwell’s arguments, when he explains the car going through the crowd he completely ignores the reporter’s comments on other people’s opinion. Morality was demonstrated by the counter protesters, after the car went through the crowd of protestors. The Unite the Right protesters showed evidence that they had an empathy gap towards the protesters who got hurt during the rallies, by saying it was a win for them because the other protestors got hurt and one died.…

    Violence, Racism, And Discrimination In Charlottesville

    Violence, racism, and discrimination. These three words describe the events that should have never happened in Charlottesville, Virginia. White nationalists came to the city to protest the removal of a Robert E. Lee statue, supporters of the removal of the statue came to counter the protest. While the crowd was originally permitted to protest pecefully, violence erupted between the two groups, leading the city officials to deem it unlawful. City officials deployed riot police to remove the protesters when violent clashes occurred. More counter protesters took to the streets, wanting the white nationalist group out of Charlottesville. As police dispersed the crowds, James Alex Fields Jr. allegedly drove a silver Dodge Challenger into the crowds,…

    Informative Essay: The First Amendment

    To illustrate, according to Des Moines Independent School District that took place in 1969, “John and Mary Beth Tinker and their friend Chris Eckhardt wore black armbands to school in Des Moines, Iowa, to protest the war in Vietnam. School officials told them to remove the armbands, and when they refused they were suspended… The Supreme Court sided with the students. Students and teachers don’t ‘shed their constitutional rights to freedom of speech or expression at the schoolhouse gate,’” (Jacobs). This proves how the right to protest is at risk in our society because the students were simply protesting the war in Vietnam peacefully, but the school said they couldn’t when they were allowed to do so. Also, the right to protest is at risk, according to Edwards v. South Carolina, “petitioners, all of whom were black, organized a march to the South Carolina State House grounds… The march was peaceful, did not block pedestrian or vehicular traffic, and was conducted in an orderly fashion on public property; a group of approximately thirty police officers confronted the group and ordered its members to disperse or to submit to arrest… The Court held that the arrests and convictions violated the rights of the marchers” (Oyez). This shows how the right to protest is at risk in our society because as stated above, the protesters held a peaceful protest, which was completely legal, but were arrested for no reason which violated their rights to…
