The Oakland Tribune describes the scene of student riots last week as Berkeley students got riled up over budget cuts and "other education issues."
Crowds outside the building continued to swell, and by about 1:30 a.m., people began to clash with police, throwing bottles, setting trash ablaze and breaking several windows on Telegraph, including the plate-glass front windows of a Subway sandwich shop, police said. Protesters lit a large garbage container on fire, then rolled it into the street…
A protest leader, UC Berkeley student Callie Maidhof, defended the vandalism and said rioters targeted the sandwich shop because a second Subway is scheduled to open on campus, just across Bancroft Way.
“There will be two Subways within 100 feet of each other,” she said...
Which stimulated the Cato Institute's Neal McCluskey to quip, " The Vietnam War. Crushing racial segregation. A glut of hoagie shops! The student battle for justice clearly goes on!"
