Berkeley Protests

On April 15, 2017, Louise Rosealma attended a counter-protest for a Pro-Trump "Patriot's Day" rally that took place in Berkeley, California. Several months leading to the event, violent clashes from Antifa activists disrupted events such as Milo Yiannopolos and other Neo-Nazi demonstrations. The Berkeley protest is thought to be the major predecession for the August 12, 2017 counter rally in Charlottesville, VA where Heather Heyer was murdered in a hit and run by a white supremacist.

Before attending, Louise posted a status on Facebook saying

"We have a duty as Americans to carry on our tradition of freedom against fascism and specifically the Neo-Nazi movement.

I'm nervous for this weekend's event but am fully prepared to sacrifice my liberty and life for the greater good of all our citizens."

At the Event

Taking photographs

Taking photographs

At the counter protest, Louise is seen in footage taking photographs on their camera.

When the initial violence broke out, Louise is seen trying to shield away from fights to get away, grabbing an emty bottle from the gutter to defend themself.

However, as they made their way out footage shows them being pushed down, chased, and then beaten by white supremacist Nathan Damigo and his associates.

The full attack lasted no longer than five minutes and Louise sustained a concussion and no other outstanding injuries.

The man identified as Nathan Damigo is the founder of the white-supremacist group Indentity Evropa, and is previously known for being dishonorably discharged from the military after being charged with attempted murder of a taxi driver. He is recorded punching Louise and knocking her to the ground before running away. The incident has been called The Falcon Punch at Berkeley after Captain Falcon's special move in Super Smash Brothers. In addition, Louise has been given the nickname "Antifa Girl."

After the event, Louise was interviewed by SNOPES where they claim that the only time that they were holding a bottle was to clear a fire that had been lit, and that the photo of her holding a bottle was doctored. It was later revealed that becuase of short term memory loss caused by blunt-force trauma to the head, Louise had not recollected all the events of the time and redacted the statement. They claimed that "because of my short term memory loss from the incident, it took me a few days with the help of footage to remember that I had grabbed the bottle from the gutter to defend myself when the fighting broke out, since I was unarmed and had nothing but a camera on me. I was scared and knew they were going to hurt me and had no other choice." Rumors circulated about Louise throwing M80 fireworks and carrying brass knuckles, which was later disproven.Dreams mainly occur in the rapid-eye movement (REM) stage of sleep —when brain activity is high and resembles that of being awake. REM sleep is revealed by continuous movements of the eyes during sleep. At times, dreams may occur during other stages of sleep. However, these dreams tend to be much less vivid or memorable. The length of a dream can vary; they may last for a few seconds, or approximately 20–30 minutes. People are more likely to remember the dream if they are awakened during the REM phase. The average person has three to five dreams per night, and some may have up to seven; however, most dreams are immediately or quickly forgotten. Dreams tend to last longer as the night progresses. During a full eight-hour night sleep, most dreams occur in the typical two hours of REM.

Opinions about the meaning of dreams have varied and shifted through time and culture.

Many endorse the Freudian theory of dreams – that dreams reveal insight into hidden desires and emotions.

Other prominent theories include those suggesting that dreams assist in memory formation, problem solving, or simply are a product of random brain activation.

The earliest recorded dreams were acquired from materials dating back approximately 5000 years, in Mesopotamia, where they were documented on clay tablets.

In the Greek and Roman periods, the people believed that dreams were direct messages from deities or deceased persons, and that they predicted the future.

Some cultures practiced dream incubation with the intention of cultivating dreams that are of prophecy.

Louise is a Southern California native, and is known for their activism in anarchism, veganism, anti- facism, and feminism. They began getting involved in politics during the Obama administration and became more involved during the next election. They were quoted as being motivated by the gross lack of worker's rights and exploitation of Americans and the Earth by corporate entities and governments. During the Obama adminstration they moved away from liberalism to anarchism, embracing anti-authoritarianism and non-hierarchal societal systems. They have since worked with several political organizations that keep diligence to queer and POC rights while prioritizing class consciousness and worker's rights.

When competing, Louise was ranked 2nd in the state of California, and 15th in the United States as a bowman recurve shooter.
