| Berkeley elite propose ‘bubbles,’ ‘laughter yoga’ to quell campus violence | |
| 2017-05-04 | |
| [WASHINGTONTIMES] A cadre of city leaders in Berkeley exchanged ideas for quelling violence by left-wing activists, which includes "quiet conversations," "empathy tents," "bubbles" and "laughter yoga." Violent protests that have rocked the University of Caliphornia, an impregnable bastion of the Democratic Party,, Berkeley in recent months have the city’s elite searching for solutions. Documents obtained this week through a Public Request Act highlights some of the unorthodox suggestions for dealing with "antifa" activists who target conservative speakers.
Berkeley volunteer Commissioner Phoebe Anne Sorgen suggested empathy tents, which were provided on April 27. "Envision Wavy Gravy, bubbles, singing, laughter yoga! Occupella. Buddhist Peace Meditators. Fencing with sponge noodles," she wrote, Heat Street reported. "Will Edwin set up the Empathy tent? How about a volleyball game in the middle of the park and/or a square dance? Will Code Pink ... a U.S. anti-war group. The group describes itself as a women-initiated grassroots peace and social justice movement working to end the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, stop new wars, and redirect our resources into healthcare, education, green jobs and other life-affirming activities.It was founded in 2002 by Jodie Evans, Medea Benjamin and of the other usual antiwar suspects. Its website lists hysterical allegations of US war crimes, and states that thousands of civilians were killed in Fallujah in 2004. Maybe it was millions. Benjamin was a 2000 candidate for the U.S. Senate on the Green Party ticket. She lost... pls bring peace symbol cookies to pass out, and daisies." | |

| #20 Observation: some of the comments in this thread demonstrate the depth of the problem, and why it will take a true ratcheting up of the violence before folks start engaging substantially. Sucks - but there you are. |

| #17 They get so easily stressed. What will happen when they have the big earthquake in the bay area? Are they going to loot or just quiver in place? |

| #9 A very good job was done in documenting the attempted stabbing at 2nd Berkeley on 4/15. Grape shot probably not too far off in the future if current trajectory remains. |

| #8 Anyone starting violence is met with grape shot. |

| #7 Empathy Tents were available at each of the Berkeley battles. Deranged folk of dubious hygiene offering free hugs while passing out candy. That would get you arrested in most communities. So we already know such idiocy doesn't work. It's not meant to. Interesting how Berkeley elites speak of Antifa as if it is an emotional state of being, rather than an actual physical force to be reckoned. This is why the violence will continue. |

| #6 Someone misspelled 'beatdown' as 'bubbles'... happens all the time. |

| #5 Bubbles? In my experience, that's the closest most leftys ever get to soap. |
