The irony is that this guy taught philosophy and ethics as a college teaching assistant!

"Eric Clanton, a former teacher at Diablo Valley College, was arrested by Berkeley police on Wednesday on suspicion of three counts of assault with a deadly weapon identified as a U-lock bike lock, and one of those assaults is alleged to have caused a significant injury."

"Police say the violence happened April 15 in Civic Center Park in Berkeley when pro-Trump supporters clashed with self-described anti-fascist, or “antifa,” activists determined to stop a rally where white supremacist views were expected to be expressed."

Oh here we go again: the violent "left."

People are violent. All sorts of people from all persuasions. Did you miss the news yesterday about the Trumpian congressional candidate from Montana body slamming a "liberal" reporter?

Humans have been smacking, smashing, stabbing, shooting, poisoning each other since the beginning of time. Long before conservative / liberal ideologies.

Glad to see he was arrested. What he allegedly did was atrocious. He could of killed that man. I don't care about left wing or right wing here.

At least now we know who one of the anarchists is. They should twist his arm and get him to tell them who some of the others are. The news reports of the demonstrations at the Civic Center Park (which Owl and I posted links to on the thread that ran during and after the event) said that pro-Trump and anti-racist protesters got along pretty well. It was people like this extremist who were causing problems.

I'm honestly shocked he was arrested. Violence and confrontation from the left tends to be ignored and/or laughed off out here. Must be some pressure placed on them to actually do their jobs despite it being against the norm.

Except for the fact that that didn't actually happen the way it was reported. But way to eat up what you're told by the media.

This simply isn't true. The UC regents issued a statement condemning the hijacking of a peaceful protest by violent anarchists from Oakland. On the next occasion, the police were out in force. The anarchists didn't show up at the campus part of the demonstration; the police presence may have deterred them.

It's true, I'm surprised they didn't crown him and offer a full time position on CNN prime time.

The main stream media has become the new Fox News, but instead of ignorant far righties thinking the country is on the verge of collapse we now have ignorant far left crazies thinking we are on the verge of collapse.
