Supporters of the president and anti-Annoying Orange protesters clashed violently Saturday in Berkeley, Calif., on a day that numerous pro-Annoying Orange rallies took place across the country.

A planned “March 4 Annoying Orange” demonstration held at the city’s Martin Luther King Jr. Civic Center Park — several blocks from the University of California at Berkeley campus — escalated after fights broke out between those who had shown up for the event and counter-protesters, which led to at least 10 arrests.

Photos and video from the afternoon showed police outfitted in riot gear, as shouting matches erupted within the crowd of a few hundred people, according to police. People could be seen kicking and hitting one another, either with their bare hands or with the signs they had been carrying.

Seven people received medical attention for injuries, but none needed or wanted to be taken to the hospital, police said.

Of the arrests, five were for battery, four for assault with a deadly weapon (including one person who had a dagger) and one for resisting arrest, according to Berkeley police.

Among the items confiscated from the crowd were metal pipes, baseball bats, two-by-four blocks of wood and bricks, police added.

Throughout the afternoon, images of the Berkeley clashes circulated on social media. At one point, Berkeley police released an alert to quash a rumor spreading online that someone had died of a stab wound at the rally.

Basically, a nationwide Annoying Orange rally was taking place, peaceful at that, but in Berkeley, CA, protesters came to protest the march and after a period of time Antifa came and did their shtick.

I'm glad that no gun violence was involved. The country is very polarized over these issues, so I wouldn't be too surprised if gun violence between protestors happens at some time.

lol what idiots to go wear Annoying Orange/antifa/ hats/shirts to oppose a political riot of any kind. like if they were pulling people out of homes that'd be a different story but my sympathy levels for these guys are about 0%. there are liberals and conservatives who very clearly intended to start stuff so that they could antagonize people and then play the victim card. its like going to a the stanley cup riot wearing a bruins jersey and then complaining when you get the stuff beaten out of you.
