Well I’ll bet you didn’t hear about this news from the Hi-Desert Star. Using classic Saul Alinsky “Rules for Radicals” Klasky is able to have his minions riot and destroy property and yet, maintain He had nothing to do with the violence. You got to hand it to the guy.
UC Berkeley fee protest turns rowdy – SFGate
February 27, 2010|By Kevin Fagan and Jill Tucker, Chronicle Staff Writers
Bay Area students, faculty and organizers revving up for a series of protests and rallies next week over fee increases and cutbacks to public education condemned the destruction and violence at UC Berkeley late Thursday by demonstrators promoting the March 4th events.
What started as a nighttime, open-air dance party in Upper Sproul Plaza with up to 200 people quickly soured into a riot as protesters vandalized a vacant university building and then lit trash cans on fire and clashed with police on Telegraph Avenue.
Two people have been taken into custody in connection with the riot. More arrests are possible, police said.
“This casts a shadow on the majority of our students who are working constructively toward budget justice,” said Phil Klasky, an ethnic studies professor at San Francisco State University who is helping organize a March 4 picket and rally. “We do not condone violence in any form.”
Klasky said frustration is understandable given the increased fees combined with the unavailability of courses for students – but not violence.
The clash began at 11:30 p.m. Thursday, when police responding to complaints of loud music found dozens of people dancing and drinking in Upper Sproul, with about 30 individuals surrounding nearby Durant Hall. MORE
