There was bloodshed and fire on the streets of Berkeley, CA, as a late-night student rally turned violent.

Students at UC Berkeley occupied a university building in support of next Thursday's state-wide protest against education budget cuts. At least 15 students were seen on top of the building around midnight, and then marching through local streets and kicking over trashcans and smashing windows, according to the Daily Californian. Around 1:30 a.m., police in riot gear intervened.
