A 28-year-old former East Bay community college professor was arrested for a brutal bike-lock attack amid a clash between President Trump supporters and radical left demonstrators last month in Berkeley, officials said Thursday.

Video of the April 15 assault exploded on right-wing websites in the days following the clash as scores of cybersleuths began identifying Eric Clanton as the masked man seen bashing a Trump backer in the head, causing serious bleeding.

Clanton was arrested early Wednesday morning in Oakland and booked in the Berkeley Jail on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon that is not a firearm. He is being held on $200,000 bond and is due in court at 9 a.m. Friday.

4chan and The_Donald on Reddit solved the crime.

It was assault with a deadly weapon. Extremely dangerous sucker hit with the bike lock.

No mention of ANTIFA. Go to CNN and search “ANTIFA” and there’s not one mention of the left wing terrorist group on their entire website.

I know that they were the ones who uncovered his identity, but they did it from videos posted on Youtube.
Youtube is definitely not right-wing.

Somehow this leftist rag failed to mention the investigation was done by Homicide detectives because of its seriousness, and he attacked Three people, inflicting “Serious” wounds that could have been fatal.

Enjoy prison, Clanton. You planned your attack.

Buh-bye.

Excellent.

4chan’s “Weaponized Autism” outed this leftwing criminal in an amazing display of sleuthing.

If this scumbag is charged with aggravated assault as a `wobbler felony’ he could get a few years in prison.
And there are, what, three offenses? Lock him up.

Agree. Lock him up. He is unstable and a danger to society.
