Berkeley thuggery / Assault on chancellor’s home is outrageous - SignOnSanDiego Newsletter - SignOnSanDiego.com:

"On the night of Dec. 11, UC Berkeley Chancellor Robert Birgeneau and his wife were nearly killed in their on-campus residence. About 50 to 70 thugs assaulted their home, some smashing its windows, some trying to light it on fire and some trying to break in. A Berkeley spokesman said it was only a “matter of luck” that police arrived before the thugs could get inside. When officers did arrive, some thugs tried to light the police cars on fire.

Now here’s the disgusting twist: The thugs thought they held the moral high ground, chanting “no justice, no peace” as they went about their violent assault. Their anger over UC tuition hikes and budget cuts, you see, meant that terrorizing the Birgeneaus amounted to justice."
