8 left wing nuts arrested for vandalism of UC Berkeley chancellor Robert Birgeneau’s home

obamanutAh yes, the wonderful, peaceful left wing protestors. You know, the same type of protestors who had anywhere between 600 and 700 arrested yesterday in Copenhagen for protests in which they also broke Windows? Yes, these peace loving, left wingers have yet again decided to break windows, throw burning torches as a way to protest something they don’t like. According to the SF Chronicle, 8 nut bags were in custody Saturday after a crowd of angry protesters broke windows and threw burning torches at UC Berkeley Chancellor Robert Birgeneau’s campus residence in protest of fee hikes and budget cuts, authorities said.

The crowd, including a man taken into custody in a university protest a day earlier, chanted, “No justice, no peace,” and began smashing planters, windows and lights. Several hurled their torches at the building, said campus spokesman Dan Mogulof.

Birgeneau was sleeping at the time and was awakened by his wife, Mary Catherine, Mogulof said. They were frightened, but unharmed, he said.

“These are criminals, not activists,” Birgeneau said in a statement issued Saturday morning. “The attack at our home was extraordinarily frightening and violent. My wife and I genuinely feared for our lives.”

Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger condemned the attack Saturday as a form of terrorism.

“California will not tolerate any type of terrorism against any leaders, including educators,” Schwarzenegger said. “The attack on Chancellor Birgeneau’s home is a criminal act and those who participated will be prosecuted under the fullest extent of the law.”

The demonstrators had marched earlier Friday night from Wheeler Hall to the chancellor’s home. Most of the protesters ran away when police arrived, but some of them threw torches and other objects at officers and patrol cars, Mogulof said.
