January 1, Berkeley Campus Chaos as Turning Point Rally Ends Tour

Wyatt’s Take

• Clashes broke out outside a conservative event at UC Berkeley.
• Police made arrests after violence erupted during demonstrations.
• Event organizers blamed the campus for ticketing issues.

A Turning Point USA rally at UC Berkeley wrapped up their nationwide campus tour Monday night, but not without trouble. Fights broke out outside the event, and police arrested at least three people.

Video captured officers breaking up a scuffle where one man had a bloody face.

This event marked two months since Charlie Kirk, the group’s founder, was killed at a Utah college speak-out.

Demonstrators gathered early, with student and activist groups rallying outside before doors even opened.

Some attendees pointed fingers at the university, saying ticket problems and poor logistics made things worse.

Police also arrested four Berkeley students before things began, accusing them of felony vandalism.
