P A G E 0 N E / C 0 L L E G E S ー ツ OM 引 E BOYS IN BLACK MASKS' lnside the black bloc, the decades-old violent tactic that divides liberals and wreaked havoc at Berkeley IT WAS THE first black bloc for Neil Lawrence, a third-year undergraduate student at the Uni- versity 0f California, Berkeley. He had demon- strated with Black Lives Matter and seen people in bandannas ShOW up at events and smash things. But after the Berkeley College Republi- cans announced controversial Breitbart News editor Mi10 Yiannopoulos would be speaking on campus, Lawrence decided it was time for a more aggressive form Of protest. "lt became clear tO me and my close friends that the tone Of living in America iS changing, and in order tO stop being scared, we started organizmg," he says. I, a transgender Jew, don't have a prob- lem with violence against fascists. Through a friend who was involved in the local Antifa (anti-fascist) group, Lawrence learned activists were planning a black bloc. AS a 5-feet-2-inch person whO has never been in a fight, he says he wanted the safety that comes from being part Of an anonymous mob. On February 1 , hours before Yiannopoulos was about tO speak, Lawrence and around 150 Oth- ers gathered offcampus where Antifa told them tO meet. They got their gear and outfits ready. He was dressed in all black and had a T-shirt wrapped around his face, leaving a slit for his eyes. A person with a megaphone told the group the route they'd be marching, and they set 0 伍 toward campus. Along the way, they chanted, "NO borders, no nations, fuck deportation. Lawrence didn't carry anything, but others had flags and projectiles. Berkeley students had spent weeks planning a nonviolent protest. They gathered outside the venue where Yiannopoulos would be speaking, wavmg signs and calling for the event to be shut down. And then the black bloc showed up. They clashed with the police and Yiannopou- 10S supporters. They set fires, threw M010t0V cocktails and smashed windows. One of them pepper-sprayed a woman as a reporter inter- viewed her. Off campus, they vandalized shops and halted traffc. At around 9 p. m. , the univer- sity canceled the event, but the demonstrations continued for several hours, until those dressed in black slipped into the night. Campus police made JLlSt one arrest. The demonstrators caused an estimated $ 100 , 000 in damage on campus, the university said, and an additional $ 400 , 000 to $ 500 , 000 elsewhere, according to Downtown Berkeley Association CEO John Caner. The school has tried tO distance student activists from these more aggressive ones, describing the latter in a statement as agitators who invaded the cam- pus and disrupted nearly 1 , 500 peaceful protest- ers. " Others have said students were among the masked ones. President Donald Trump called the demonstrators professional anarchists thugs and paid protesters" and implied that the university should lose federal funding.
