A Berkeley City Council meeting ended in chaos Monday night, as an unruly crowd chanted "no justice, no peace" and a protester declared ominously that "future generations will remember this day."

The special meeting — focused on dueling ceasefire resolutions related to the Israel-Gaza War — may have taken the prize for the longest public comment period, lasting more than 5 hours, followed by the pithiest council discussion: Officials spoke for less than 30 minutes before taking action.

For a few moments, it seemed the vote might not happen at all — when Mayor Ishii tried to end the meeting, in a breach of council protocol, before casting her vote shortly before midnight.

It was a fascinating night full of unusual twists.
