Chanting American flag-waver heckled at UC Berkeley in ‘social experiment’ VIDEO

Ami on the Loose: Berkeley Students React to US Flag

I went back to UC Berkeley to conduct another little social experiment. The results were shocking. Be afraid. Be very afraid.

In the first part of a 2 1/2-minute video filmed at UC Berkeley early November, Horowitz is seen parading the Stars and Stripes, chanting loudly: “The greatest country on the Planet Earth that protects our freedom!” and similar praise. His sentiment did not seem to strike a chord with the crowd: those who chose to pay attention had some pretty unpatriotic comments.

“The complete opposite,”“Canada’s pretty great,” and “Your flag sucks, fool!” were some of the reactions seen in the video, along with quite a few examples of “F**k America!”

“I was out there for about an hour, and in that hour we had about 20-25 people making negative comments about the flag and maybe three or four had positive comments to say of the flag.”

In the second part of his video experiment, Horowitz went on campus again, this time brandishing a custom-made flag of the terrorist group Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS/ISIL), calling on the Berkeley crowd to join the jihadists while denouncing “US imperialism.”

“ISIS protects Islam… I denounce western imperialism. I denounce American imperialism,” Horowitz can be seen shouting.

The video shows no negative reactions to the apparent display of ISIS propaganda, with two young men even seen thanking Horowitz for taking a stand.

“Good for you, man. Good for you,”a young man is filmed saying.

“I love that you’re saying that,”another said.

“I was yelling ‘ISIS, come fight for ISIS,’ I said ‘ISIS’ every third word,”Horowitz told RT, arguing that while the ISIS flag might have escaped onlookers, the words left no denying who he appeared to be representing.

Horowitz said that while he was waving the ISIS flag for two hours, double the time he stood with the US one, he only“got one person who thought it was obnoxious.” 

“For the most part, people were not simply saying a word, they were ignoring it, that were looking at me and looking away,”the activist said, adding, “No matter what you expect, it’s still shocking.”
