People marched in cities across the country Saturday to show support for President Trump. In a few places, anti-Trump protesters showed up and in Berkeley there was violence. The Reuters report below plays coy about who initiated the violence, but Trump supporters didn't show up to make trouble during the Women's March. Violence like this is the domain of the left:

Harry Zieve Cohen reports at The American Interest:
College Protestors Send Professor to the ER On Thursday, hundreds of students at Middlebury College shouted down political scientist Charles Murray, forcing him to deliver his remarks in a private room via a live web stream.

He recently wrote a detailed post about the liberal narrative vs. the reality in which he concluded Malmo was the warning.

Here's an excerpt of her recent article in the Daily Mail:
Where females fear to tread: KATIE HOPKINS reports from Sweden, the Scandi-lib paradise where terrified women have vanished from the streets and a conspiracy of silence and self-censorship on immigration buries the truth I didn't come to Sweden for the riots. Or because of Trump. In fact, I was supposed to be here in December — before airline strikes stood in my way. I came because I was asked. Repeatedly.
