The rest of the story. Berkeley mayor a member of radical group

No doubt why he told police to stand down during latest Berkeley riots.

The Mayor of Bekeley, Jesse Arreguin supports the far-left terrorist organization, BAMN according to his Facebook page.

Perhaps this is why the police were told to stand down while ANTIFA threw glass bottles, M-80’s and bricks at Trump supporters in his city.

Mayor Jesse Arreguin is a member of ‘BAMN’ AKA ‘By Any Means Necessary’, a violent organization affiliated with ANTIFA. Is this something that should be acceptable for a sitting Mayor?

Below is a screenshot of Jesse Arreguin’s Facebook page. Click here for archive link.

The leader of this group is Yvette Felarca. Felarca is a middle school teacher (scary) and her group is behind much of the violence towards Trump supporters. She also works to shut down Conservatives who seek to give speeches at universities.

Journalist, Gavin McInnes tweeted about the arrests of Conservatives who dared go near the leader of BAMN….

Wait, WHAT!? The mayor of Berkeley is a member of BAMN? Is that why we were arrested the moment we went near their leader Felarca? pic.twitter.com/nIjqPCVtwN

Here’s lunatic leftist, Felarca calling for more militant protests and bragging about shutting down conservative voices. Spoiler alert: Every conservative is a white supremacist/fascist according to Felarca…

BERKELEY MAYOR EXPOSED AS MEMBER OF MILITANT ANTIFA GROUP THAT ORCHESTRATED RIOTS
Posted by Cassandra Fairbanks | Apr 21, 2017 |


Berkeley Mayor Jesse Arreguin, who many have speculated was behind stand down orders to police during recent riots in the city, is a member of the Facebook group of far left militant organization, By Any Means Necessary (BAMN).

Gavin McInnes‏Verified account@Gavin_McInnes
Wait, WHAT!? The mayor of Berkeley is a member of BAMN? Is that why we were arrested the moment we went near their leader Felarca?

BAMN was named by the FBI in 2005 as thought to be involved in domestic terrorist activities, and have boasted that they were the “organizers of Berkeley’s shutdown of white neo-fascist Milo Yiannopoulos.”

BAMN is perhaps best known, however, for a 2016 incident in which they showed up to a rally held by the white-nationalist Traditionalist Workers Party outside the California state capitol building in Sacramento. The militant group was confrontational with the white-nationalists within minutes of arrival, and ten people were stabbed and hospitalized in a bloody fight. Police have verified through videos taken by members of the group, news organizations, and bystanders, that BAMN initiated the violence.

Arreguin, a far-left liberal, made headlines in February for his tweets prior to BAMN organizing a riot to prevent right-wing political commentator Milo Yiannopoulos from speaking at the city’s University of California campus.

“Using speech to silence marginalized communities and promote bigotry is unacceptable. Hate speech isn’t welcome in our community,” Arreguin had tweeted.

The mayor also referred to Yiannopoulos as a “white supremacist,” and was forced to issue an “apology.”

“I consider much of what Mr. Yiannopoulos says to be hateful. But I regret and apologize for the white national label,” Arreguin tweeted.


Hours after his tweet, supporters of President Donald Trump who hoped to listen to Yiannopoulos speak were under a violent attack. People were assaulted with pipes, a generator-powered spotlight was firebombed, and looters destroyed several businesses in the area including a Starbucks.

The rioters smashed windows, spray painted violent messages all over the area — including “Kill Trump” — and began committing arsons. It was estimated that the rioters caused $100,000 in damage to the MLK Student Union, and $400,000 to $500,000 in damage to the area surrounding the university.

It was immediately alleged that the mayor had ordered the police to stand down and allow the violence and destruction.


Arreguin denied the accusations, saying that the police strategy was ordered by the department, not him. “They did an excellent job in preventing further risk to safety,” he added.

Last weekend, violence and chaos erupted in the city once again as anarchists in black bloc attire attempted to shut down a pro-free speech rally dubbed “Patriot’s Day.” The militant leftists, including BAMN, assaulted the free-speech activists with bottles, M80s, and other instruments of riots.

“At first police were doing a good job keeping the crowd divided, then antifa exited the park and went into the street,” journalist Tim Pool told Big League Politics of the police response during the event, “but the police just stayed in the park, so huge fights broke out and there were no police at all.”

Liberal Mother Jones reporter Shane Bauer also confronted several officers to ask why they were not intervening to stop the violence. One of the officers he confronted shrugged, shook his head, and responded that “would be a good question for the chief of police.”

Shane Bauer‏Verified account@shane_bauer
I ask a cop why they've been hanging back as a brawl is happening half a block away in Berkeley. "I'm not at liberty to discuss my tactics."


The Patriot’s Day rally was organized in response to violent attacks by antifa at a “March 4 Trump” in the city on March 4. Multiple Trump supporters were injured at the event, including an elderly man who was assaulted and pepper sprayed by the militant left.

We have reached out to Arreguin’s office about his possible interactions and involvement with BAMN. We will update this story if a response is provided.

Prove the mayor's Facebook page does not have that content. Easy to do. Prove the article wrong.

So you're on record as defending the rioting and burning of Gov't property?

Does that make he or she a member of the radical group? Serious question. I legit couldn't tell you 2 "groups" I was part of on Facebook

 

[WVUCOOPER]

Also can we keep all the far left nut jobs and white nationalists in Berkeley forever? Have them protest/riot/fight once a week? Seems like a win win to me.

Well, he is a member of that group on his Facebook page and then there is this:

I'm not arguing with what the group is, just if something as pointless as joining silly facebook groups constitutes being a member? To be honest, IDGAF either way.

The GP may have labeled them that, but it's based on their actions. Have you not seen the videos of that nut Felarca?

Suppose a mayor was in a Nazi group on the FB? Same opinion?

To be honest, IDGAF either. I think the whole Berkeley thing is hilarious. The leftist loons are getting a taste of their own soup and not enjoying the dish they created.

I think it is important when a mayor joins a group identified by the FBI as a terrorist group. If you have not seen the videos of this group in action, you need to and I think you might then care, if you care about assaults and violence.

Remember, the police in Berkeley were told to stand down when the latest violence occurred. Who gave that order and why? People were severely hurt.

NAZI is little more well known than BAMN? I mean I just saw I was in a FROLF group? But agreed. I literally do not give 2 ***** about Berkeley, CA. All the protests and counter protests makes for some great comedy, but IDGAF what the residents of Berkeley do.

All those white nationalist betas and hippies. No big deal.

No it isn't.

Liar!

BAMN is not on any terrorist list.

 

[bornaneer]

No it isn't.

Liar!

BAMN is not on any terrorist list.

However......some of their actions were classified to be “low-level terrorism” by the Department of Defense in 2009. You can defend the ******** all you want.....I think they are class A trash.

As a politician he probably monitors his social media better than you. He wants to be identified as sympathetic to their cause at the very least.

I couldn't either. Pretty sure I didn't like any terrorist groups though.

Wait, is Wham! A terrorist group? Asking for a friend.
