Antifa members also set a car on fire and damaged 21 other vehicles fighting the alt right
The George Soros funded Antifa protest group were caught smashing the windows of a US Marine Corps recruiting office during another violent protest Berkeley, California, on Sunday.
Antifa members also set a car on fire and damaged 21 other vehicles during the protest, even slashing the tires and bashing windows of some cars according to Fox News.
The group then went on to set trash cans on fire causing chaos and destruction across the city in the name of fighting the “alt-right.”
According to WJ: Throughout the day, police arrested 20 people who were allegedly involved in the violence and vandalism.
Berkeley police tweeted out a photo of weapons they confiscated from the protest, including knives, metal poles, pieces of wood and mace.

After the windows of the Marine recruitment office were broken, witness and filmmaker Ford Fischer told Fox News that Antifa threatened him to flee the scene.
“After I filmed the Antifa break the Marine Corps office window and throw a torch into a dumpster, one of them called a few over to confront me,” Fischer said.
“They basically told me to leave, implying attack if I didn’t. I left. ‘Get the f*** back. Cops aren’t here. They won’t help you.’”
Neither group received the necessary permits to host rallies in the city.
Authorities banned masks as well as a list of objects that could have been used as weapons Friday.
