The riots between pro-Trump supporters and self-described anti-fascists (Antifa) protesters in Berkeley, California last week drew some media attention. Police, who for the most part stood down during the riots, despite the use by the black-clad Antifa group of explosive devices, made tens of arrests. Small bands on both sides chased each other or brawled, sometimes with wooden planks, homemade shields, poles and pepper spray. The whole incident prompted internet content creators to unload many videos of the clashes, with some of them being extremely humorous. One YouTube content creator mocked the riots by posting scenes from the clashes as part of the popular PC strategy war game “Total War” with the accompanying music in the background. The comment section was also unite funny with one typing “I never know PC games had become so realistic”, while another wrote “Antifa needs a major buff, they drop dead the moment they decide to fight something that fights back.”
