The University of California, Berkeley campus descended into chaos on Monday as masked Antifa agitators disrupted a peaceful Turning Point USA “This Is The Turning Point” tour event, forcing attendees to seek shelter and overwhelming local authorities.
The event — featuring Dr. Frank Turek and comedian Rob Schneider — was intended to be a moment of reflection and open dialogue following the recent death of the organization’s founder, Charlie Kirk. Instead, far-left extremists arrived in coordinated groups with the clear intent of shutting down the gathering through intimidation, disruption, and harassment.
Witnesses reported that many protesters wore face coverings and carried radical signage while shouting inflammatory chants aimed at attendees and organizers. Some demonstrators even mocked the tragedy of Kirk’s death, underscoring the increasingly hostile climate toward conservative voices on college campuses.
The atmosphere grew volatile as agitators aggressively confronted TPUSA members, creating an environment that quickly became unsafe. Tensions escalated in the crowd, leading to physical altercations captured on video. While the injuries observed were not life-threatening, the confrontations highlighted just how quickly political demonstrations can spiral out of control when bad actors are intent on causing disruption.
UC Berkeley currently looks like a war zone.

Flares and smoke devices were deployed by members of the mob, further adding to the confusion. These actions forced organizers to rush attendees indoors for their protection as police attempted to stabilize the scene. Law enforcement officers struggled to maintain order amid the aggressive tactics used by the agitators, ultimately needing to don protective gear to contain the unrest.
This incident reinforces a growing concern: far-left extremism continues to fuel a climate where conservative speech is increasingly met with hostility or outright suppression. It stands in stark contrast to the law-and-order approach championed by President Trump, whose administration consistently prioritized the safety and rights of Americans to gather, speak, and assemble peacefully.
