"Things have been lively here, CBS 5 journalist Amandi Hari reported from the scene. Protestors have been out here for hours. You can see them still here behind me. They have been chanting just a very, very lively scene out here. She continued: While things have been mostly peaceful, there have been some tense moments. Earlier this evening, there was a scuffle that broke out where two men started fighting. UC Berkeley police had to break up that interaction."
"A clip of that fight was also shared on X, where one protestor could be heard mockingly saying You're bleeding now, white boy!"
"Lily said nobody at Berkeley agrees with TPUSA, before admitting she was not too familiar with it or Kirk. Obviously, I didn't really follow him a lot, but knowing what he did and knowing the things that he was saying is just like, vile and disgusting, Lily said A young man interviewed by Hari, Isaiah Larceval, held the opposite view. Larceval, while donning one of President Donald Trump's red Make America Great Again hats, said he was a big fan of Kirk, who showed him to live as a good and godly man. So when I heard that they were bringing TPU here, I was like, heck yeah,' he said."
At UC Berkeley on Monday night, a mostly peaceful protest against a Turning Point USA event intensified into confrontations between protesters and attendees. Viral videos on X showed protesters clashing with attendees and a street brawl between two men that police broke up. A smoke bomb was thrown and a car backfired, prompting people to run. Student reactions were sharply divided: one student condemned the organization and its rhetoric as vile, while another attendee wearing a MAGA hat praised Charlie Kirk and welcomed the group's campus appearance.
