"The Bay Area’s anarchists have a new cause: the killing of unarmed black men by white police officers.
About 1,000 protesters roamed the streets of Berkeley, California, for a third night, chanting “we want justice” and closing a train track and an interstate.
“What you have in the Bay Area is a resident group of anarchists, and they pretty much float around between San Francisco, Oakland and Berkeley,” Oakland Mayor Jean Quan said in a telephone interview. “Before, they tagged them as the Oakland occupiers. It’s the same kind of m.o. They wear black, they hide within bigger crowds and then late at night they commit vandalism.” Berkeley Crowds Protest Over Police Killings of Black Men - Businessweek

Well the sympathy for the deceased is real at least. But the mob mentality may be getting a spur from disgruntled far-lefters. Plus, a little race-riot goes a long way to glom in other alleged civil rights grumblings from the far left sure to march before SCOTUS this year. I think the far left is attempting to "rile up a message" to anyone considering anything but a carte blanche for their ...uh...colorful agenda..

Sending a message are we MSNBC?

What do you think? Are the riots manufactured? Your reasons?
 
I am willing to bet the farm that the "other alleged civil rights grumblings" you mention has to do with gay marriage. You seem almost incapable of having a discussion where you do not try and shoe-horn in your anti-gay agenda.

Yes they are a manufactured distraction from the failure of Obamanomics to bring decent jobs to the young or raise the median income of the American household.

This failure, of course, hits hardest in the poorest communities that were promised the most.

I think the anarchists are simply coat-tailing issues represented in recent events. Exposure may be more aligned with their intentions ... Along with taking the advantage in not letting a tragedy go to waste.

The protests alone allow anarchists to communicate with like-minded individuals ... And possibly gain support ... But I am not sure it is the product of a reverse scenario.

Why won't the police arrest the "protestors" for blocking traffic? Beyond that why did they not arrest the people who stepped in front of the train?
The powers to be want this to go on. Otherwise this whole charade would have ended the day after it started. Ask yourself why are the police stepping back and allowing this to happen?
 
Personally I believe that the extreme far-left is behind this for many reasons. But I believe the "civil rights" one is paramount. I think they are "gearing up"..."flexing" if you will to send a message of violence to the GOP that took this last election. Sort of like "if you think you can make laws now, think again, we will rise up and become violent if we don't get what we want". This is how cults behave. When they are cornered they go whackazoid and a frenzy ensues.

I think that's the reason MSNBC is ramping this up. It's a fringe group that is siezing upon the legitmate grief of dead children in order to promote a violent message to the GOP & middle pragmatists. If you want to see a group of thugs get violent, threaten to take away their unmitigated powerhold. That all changed on a dime in November and this is them seeing red. Too bad they're herding black people around in order to wield their club and shake their fist. Blacks generally fall in the common sense middle voting bloc.

All Riots are manufactured. Can't have a riot that is not. Just consider the mechanics of the riot, what it takes to get the mob together, to hold their attention and to work them up from the typical mindset of a feckless child, to sufficient anger to destroy property and otherwise injure the innocent, which is ironically, what they came to 'protest', before they were converted into a riotous mob.

Now... that such is piled up around and is being exploited by Evil... OKA: the Ideological Left... should not come as a surprise to anyone. As such is the nature of evil.

So now the demand that people be held responsible for their actions is "anarchy"?

And the OP wants to make this about MSNBC?

Fact is, all the news outlets are in a constant race to be first and bloodiest. But if you want to see real race-baiting, you gotta turn on fox, limbaugh, brietbart, etc.
 
Need to bring back the bush free speech zones. The protesters can protest whatever they want as long as they can't be heard. In the meanwhile, especially since citizen's united, big money gets all the speech it wants and the politicians do listen if they want to be reelected.

You don't demand that people be held accountable for THEIR actions, if you did you would say "Brown brought it on himself" End of story.

Well the far right is just as evil. We are talking about people who harbor extreme views, not one political party or the other. It's just that in this particular instance the evil is being manufactured by the far left.

Good points though otherwise.

You`d like to see another Tiananmen Square massacre or would just doing a Kent State be enough to satisfy your bloodlust?

Does enforcing the law and protecting people and property scare you so much that you are willing to give the "protestors' free reign to do what they please?
However, that was not the question, and the question was "are the riots manufactured?" My answer was yes and as a reason I gave you the inaction of the police.
Seems pretty cut and dry that they were told to stand down.

So, you don't think people who blocking traffic should be arrested? What if an ambulance couldn't get through and someone died b/c of it?

Agreed. They will turn off more people than win support.
