Andrew Doyle was warned there would be trouble when he appeared at UC Berkeley for what was intended to be the final stop on Charlie Kirk's tour. Sure enough, he soon found himself in the middle of 'anti-fascist' violence.

Jump To Comment: 7 6 5 4 3 2 1I would like to respond to 2 comments above. I am interested in the comment left by 'Disappointed' and also the comment entitled 'Nothing for Car Free Day 2009'. Was there meant to be a Critical Mass for Car Free Day? I'd be interested if you could tell me more about this. The first I heard about Critical Mass was at the Seomra Spraoi meeting. A group of us discussed the merits of the different dates and we decided that in case another event was planned for Car Free Day it was best not to clash. In any case, Critical Mass is generally on the last Friday of the month. In addition we thought it would be good to connect with people who have experience of Critical Mass in other countries where it is held on the last Friday of the month.
To the 'Questions' comment I would like to say that many cyclists may also be non-meat eaters! It is funny to think that vegans don't cycle or cyclists aren't vegan or vegetarian!
Sin é. Critical Mass will be deadly so come along and have your questions answered and your answers questioned.
Due to traffic caused by road closure!!
Would it be possible to advertise and remind people that No Car Day is upon us again.
This reminded might encourage people to take public transport and with some notice more people could plan to do so.
I have asked several people this morning and no one I spoke to knew that this was happening.
Perhaps advertising, extra busses (trains) and some walking routes might encourage people and if not then the delays caused will certanly encourage people not to drive, but why should we learn the hard way!!!
It’s a bit disappointing and frustrating to be honest.
What are you trying to achieve?
Less cars it seems. I like that! Why?
Less climate change? Why?
Educate yourself.
How many sausages do you stuff down your throat per week?
Do you actually know the science?
The amount of CO2 shit out by transport VS the amount shit out by flesh eaters?
Not to mind the suffering
Newsnight last night showed Boris The Mayor of London travelling on the Tube with his Rugsack on his back to Brussles. Good example is better than good avise anytime!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hi Disappointed, I see you got around!
A you may know, I'm the one who called for a critical mass a few weeks back. I never organised a cm for car free day. As I said elsewhere on Indym, I left my email four times and organised a meeting. I done this by myself, and I only do the occasional sabotage for the state. You could have been involved. Why dont you organise something yourself if your not going to get involved?
Conor. M
(ps) since you have not revealed your name, just come to the mass, it should be a good laugh and maybe you could even come to the next meeting and I wont know who you are and we'll shake hands, and everthing will be great and we can go for a cycle.
Unfortunately dunk and all it doesn't like that there'll be anything happening for Car Free Day this year, certainly not in Dublin. There was meant to be a Critical Mass for Car Free Day in Dublin for the first time in several years, but at the very last minute that has been deferred to a later date (Maybe under duress from the state? It would be interesting to know what went on behind the scenes).
